Bulk eating?

[Chandlermerritt]

I weigh 145 and am 5'11. I am doing a a 5x5 program and want to gain some mass! Ive been eating too lean and not seeing gains in weight. Should I eat more? I can only hit 1600 calories. It's hard to get in more

Jesus dude. There are women who weigh not much over 100 lbs who eat more than 1600 calories when they are cutting.


So yes, you should eat more.

Lol, I know man. I'm trying. It's so hard to eat a lot.

It's really not.

Will eating 6 grilled chicken wings help? Because I just ate some. Lol

Wow 1600cal a day,
Drink heaps of Full cream milk if you struggle with eating

Eat a pint of ice cream, boom, 1200 cal.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but grilled chicken wings aren't really a huge bang for your buck when it comes to calories.

Here are some calorie-dense food ideas to get ideas flowing:

- Breakfast omelette with whole eggs, cheese, sauteed vegetables
- Peanut butter and jelly sandwich (always a classic)
- Pizza (w/ toppings of choice)
- Burgers (^ see above)
- Steak and mashed potatoes
- Snacks: Dried fruit and nuts (trail mix), ice cream, crackers and cheese, etc.

i mean, at 1600 calories, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of milk (one of the Great Bulking Foods of the World) doesn't fit your macros. eat 2 a day, on top of what you normally eat. easy 800 calories.

I am female at 127 pounds and I eat more than this daily. You could just add an extra protein shake or two so that you add more healthy calories. Add fruit milk and whatever else to it.
