+ 13 Coming at it from a different angle
Hi guys..... i just spent time typing this comment in a thread in the cycle section, i think it may benefit a few more guys here who are struggling to actually eat what they have planned for their bulking diets, hopefully this shed a little more light on how to get those precious extra calories into your cake-holes LOL.
I,m late to the party here and the guys below have spoke about macros etc......
I would like to come from a different angle if i may because a lot of diets posted lately have me shirking and saying to myself "no way i could eat like that for 12wks or more! i mean i would probably struggle to eat what you list for 2/3 days.
What im saying is .. its fkn boring and dry!
Bulking should consist of plenty of nice soft boiled veg and sauces to give moisture and flavour, having food this way makes you want to eat it,, and you tend to look forward to the next meal instead of sitting there grinding that dry shit down your throat!.
Lets mix it up a bit... for instance get some oily fish like mackeral or sardines mixed in with the red meat and chicken meals.... again for taste and easy chewable moist food that slips down the hatch easily instead of chewing all day like a cow in a field..... mushrooms sauteed in a little water creates loads of juice for steaks /chicken fillets etc.
Too many folks are reading Muscle and fitness and get to thinking all foods! all meals! have to be ultra-clean............ wake up guys they are catering for cross fit jumping monkeys not Bodybuilders.
Hundreds and thousands of guys hang around that 200lb mark for years on end because they cant (or wont) eat enough!!.
What we must do to break eating plateaus is make our food EATABLE...... boring dry shit will not make us big........... but tasty,moist and easy to eat food WILL.
Fuckers that have a desire to break the 240 and above body-weights KNOW already how to make their food slide down...... and very few eat the same shit every day unless on a serious cutter.
Serious bulking is a mean undertaking and takes some fkn commitment and concentration to uphold the strict regime................ for me it is THE hardest part of Bodybuilding period.
Use your imagination and show some flair in the kitchen to turbocharge gains with some moisture and flavour..................... anyone willing to throw any moisture rich recipes up in here im all fkn ears guys..... i will eat just about anything and will try anything once lmfaooooooooo.

I've read this before and its so true running gear easy ...getting sleep alitte harder...training your ass to grow should be hard if your doing it right eating enough calories to grow to me is the hardest part if bodybuilding ... shovelling food down your gullet to support hypertrophy every 2 to 3 hours can be as enormous task...like vike said sauces, broths, gravys. What ever to get that protein down..i find it really hard around leg and back days when i train hard enough i get nauseous
Thanks for the tips
MightyMatt812Well I don’t know what I would consider this but I make a old school beef stew/gumbo. I just about put everything in it.chunks of lean beef, chunks of chicken breasts, chunks of bison bout 4-5 cans of different beans, sweet potatoes,white potatoes, zucchini, peas and carrots, onions mushrooms make some whole wheat noodles and dumplings I like making stews cause you just throw shit in a pot and let it cook simple easy and it sticks to the bones. It’s one of my fav bulking meals I’ll eat this shit 3-4x a week
Best thing I ever bought was a slow cooker!
Been using it alot lately mainly for Currys to take to work.
Turkey or chicken
Broccoli
Peppers
Mushrooms
Sweetcorn
Bang it all in the slow cooker overnight and it's perfect for the next day's meals.
Also been using microwave rice so I don't have to get up as early as I used to.
2x 4 oz ground bison patties seasoned to liking
1lb trimmed asparagus grilled EVOO brushed on top w/ season to liking
1.5 cups roasted sweet potatoes seasoned to liking
This has been my go to Friday meal for the last 3 wks. Too bad bison is so ducking expensive. Goddamn Costco
I'll eat all the food for you! lol Eating was never a problem for me. Testosterone makes me ravenous. Plus on bulks I ate lots of juicy burgers and stuff like that so it was fun. Maybe not the cleanest, but it got the job done!
New guys looking for some size should have a read through this thread, some of the biggest guys on the site in here giving tips about how they eat for muscle gain.
Hope it helps
Some very colourful tags in here too lol
Not the most looked at section on this site, but there are some good ideas in here.

I have a Vita Mix (basically a super blender that will lquidize or powderize about anything) so a lot of my food comes from the blender... if your having trouble eating all that food or it makes you feel like you're gonna puke when just even thinking about it, try the Vita Mix--- it will allow you to drink a lot of food instead of eat it. I add frozen berries to my shakes and sometimes I'll add a frozen chicken breast in there... You don't even notice it with the other stuff in the shake.
Good post Vike!
bbondsHell ya this is exactly what I do and since I've started blending alot of my food weight is slowly climbing it truly is a game changer, great post brother.
Sounds like a good piece of kit!
i too like to build 14/1500 Kcal shakes to make daily targets easier..... and i still drink Tuna/coke because i love it and being able to just drink 30grams of protein and let loose a fkn big fishy belch is still a joy lol.
last time i mentioned tuna/soda we ended up with a fkn Pepsi or Coke debate lmaoooo........... i really dont give a fuck if its either, im happy with cheap supermarket own brand to be honest.... if i have the luxery of being at home when i wazz this together its get a half teaspoon of Cinnamon to help with the Insulin spike, if im out and about it just gets thrown in a shaker cup and downed
Everyone should carry a can opener in the glove box just for the cans that dont have ring pulls.
Good stuff, Goth...
Frozen chicken breast? Raw?
Vita mix's are great. I use one to make part of my post work out meal; cold cooked yams, pom juice, frozen berries and green beans. it makes it an easy way to get down 1k cals in one sitting plus I hate vegetables and it makes it way more palatable.
nice I'm look into this goth vita mix
They arent cheap.... around $400..... but it's the last blender you will ever have to buy. It's is my most important piece of equipment.
might be worth like u said in long run already broke three blenders n two years
I used to go through a blender a year, until I got my vita-mix. That was five years ago.
This is the shit eroids has been missing for a while now. I'm hoping to continue seeing you around VIKE.
Another good post!
good post and ideas. I wish there were more Posts on nutrition lately.
BOOM .... preach brother vike preach this is like music to my ears
hey don't judge me lol. So here it goes:
Chicken Breast: half boiled/ half baked (trust me not over cooked lol)
sliced n stuffed w/ Mozzarella
Topped with Garden Combination pasta Sauce Six Italian Cheese and Parmesan
Served with Penne Rotini w/ Ground turkey or beef (your preference) w/ garden combination pasta sauce
Don't forget Garlic Bread
I also made up
ground turkey
red peppers
green peppers,
sour cream
half onion,
2 fresh garlic cloves
cracker barrel sharp cheese
mozarella
milk
baked biscuits
blend that up real nice put in oven. its like a casserole sounds crazy but its good. I usually eat that with yams & white rice. I don't think I have to say it lol but I have to eat oats n peanut butter shake w/ whole milk before breakfast that helps a lot with meeting daily calorie needs. As well, lately try not to add huge amounts of protein powder s*** been f****** with my stomach so I just keep it to after training. Then you know I gotta have my snacks, correction I love my snacks raspberry Danishs warm it up with milk but I'm fat boy at heart I can eat whole cake by myself. oh polish off pack oreos marshmallows flavor I'm not saying this is perfect diet but I've been eating like this more lately tryingto pack on the pounds no I didn't turn into a fat blob cuz I got high metabolism so I gotta eat like crazy just to pack on weight. so once again not a pro but I love the lifestyle n s*** is real gotta eat to gain and obviously train you a** off.
Thanks for stopping by bro................. great post, lets show what we really eat to kill this bird seed theory once and for all
Save me some of that casserole dish! The Danish too!
no doubt GP you family homey. except danish is long gone lol don't worry I will get more:)
MightyMatt812Food is everything I'm mean everything a good bulking meal I like is old fashion beef stew noodles and dumplings I use white and sweet potatoes in it that gives a nice sweetness to the meat I load it up with what ever vegetables I have squash zucchini peppers onions carrots peas. I'm one of the few people who loves there fruits and vegetables. I'm by no means the biggest guy but I've been putting on solid clean mass 5-10lbs a year I'm happy with that slow and steady and you will keep the gains and allow your body to adapt to the weight. everyone is looking for that overnight drug but the real drug is proper nutrition
pancakes with whole eggs and gluten free flour,bananas,milk when done put ,honey on top
Home made chicken burger from chicken tighs with pasta in tomato and basil sauce with parmesan on top
Egg sandwiches with cheese,ham,lettuce ,mustard sauce
Ice cream blended with eggwhites
Soups with chicken or beef and carots,potaoes,rice
Some of my staples for offseason
Respect
Dope
Ice cream n egg whites...nice!....we should all put together an "eroids cookbook "...sell that on amazon for 19.99 , would b a best seller for sure!...
See guys ^^^^^^^^^^^^ click his avi check his stats!
Another Big unit showing you an example of what he eats to get and stay big........... these are showing you real world eating...... this is how you get the size!... these guys use the roids to either take avantage of the positive nitrogen balance when bulking or to put the icing on the cake when cutting for a show.
Thanks D............. much appreciated brother
The pleasure is all mine vike ! I love giving back to my home ,i have learned a ton here by reading your and other veterans profiles
Representing Eroids all across the globe
Thanks for dropping in brother, i hoped at least one of my EU buddies would turn up in here to drop some real whole food info..... i know you guys dont eat shit, and rarely supplements, preferring the wholesome natural stuff every time........... all the things you list are on my menu too bro, it cracks me up when the folks supplement all the time instead of growing on what the natural world offers.
I also see you keep a nice moist thing going on............ all easy to eat
Yep ,you know the truth brother !
I havent drink protein powder since i was 20 ,no supps except for health and well being.
Wholesome foods ,i love cooking ,like i love injecting and unloading my batbells when im done :-)
Moist is the name of the game ,fuck the dry shit and use it only in contest time ,i said "use" it cause that what bodybuilder do ,we use food to our advantage !

I love my food ,i always look forward next meal
Forums is so much beter since you start post again ,pls stay here , too many wanabes these days

The crockpot does wonders!!! Crockpots saves time hardly any effort. Roast,chicken wonderful and moist. It's all about time you don't have time to eat you don't have time to grow.
Yes sir!..crockpot cooking is where it's at!...chikn boobs, whole chikn, pork chops, beef ribs, roasts....throw in some peppers n onion with the meat n walk away, ...one of my favorites is beef n noodles...throw it all in the pot in the morning and is ready in a few hrs for lunch. We use 2 or 3 at a time, makes food prep only 1 day a week for the most part....saves time and food always taste great!
yep.... perfect way to get moist bro............... thanks for dropping by, lets try to get these fkrs growing by eating right
Bulking is when I forget about all these lean cuts of meats. I get so sick and tired of eating baked fish and chicken breasts that I really look forward to eating my fish deep fried as well as my chicken. None of this skim milk and unsweetened almond milk either, time for my 2% milk and I treat myself with some whole milk and cream straight from my neighbors farm. Let me tell you that 80% lean burger is also much more tempting and appealing than that 95% lean burger.
Damn makwa ,that cream must own !
He pulls it out of the fridge and hands it to me in a mason jar. Non-pasteurized and from grass fed cows, can't beat it.
2% when I'm thirsty. Skim is what I mix in my shakes and such. I feel I'm not cheating when I use skim in shakes? I really think it's in my head though?
full fat when im really hunting gain brother............... everything i cant have on a prep i will have in abundance on a full balls out bulker.
2% is nothing with muscle you cary :-)
I use 2% in my shakes ,i love it
Respect
Dope
Those 80% are easier on the wallet to boot.
Forgot to mention that every weekend it is baby back or St. Loius style ribs in the smoker and sometimes a beef brisket. A good dry rub first on those ribs and yes they still get a thorough coating of BBQ sauce the last hour and another dose before serving. Put your old clothes on because you are going to get dirty eating these babies. Napkins don't work here. Just eat and clean up with a shower afterwards.lol
How can you not look forward to eating that.
Our resident nutrition Guru telling us how he eats off season.................... see guys these guys are giving you the real deal here............ its NOT all about that crusty, dry boring diet you saw in a BB mag.
These are real guys that eat in the real world with food that cannot fail to make you grow.
thanks mak
Always make a huge batch of Mushrooms, peppers and onions cooked in olive oil. Everyday it gets added to eggs, steak, chicken, ground turkey and beef.
Pesto is another great addition and utilized the same as above.
Lentils and spinich is another staple for me. 5 items..Olive oil, garlic, lentils, spinach, beef boulion. I'll add 2 cups of rice to this when ready to eat.
Soba noodles! It's the top of my carb list and way easier to digest than any other pasta and it has more Calories and carbs.
I love the noodles !!
Noodles with fuckload shrimp ,pineapple,brocoli,baby corn,cashews,teriyaki sauce
Fucking love it !
Respect
Dope
adding that sweet baby rays hand made burgers with pickle and potato wedges on side vanilla shake yum
Here we go see..................... bring it brother!
These youngsters struggling to eat should check profiles for guys like GP1 here........... hes a big fkn unit and look hows he is getting his food down with the help of tasty lubricants!!
(lol tasty lubricants............. no homo )
Thank Christ you said no homo!
But you're 100% spot on with this Big V. Guys are looking at pros cutting diets thinking that's what they grow on, probably due to that their volume of food is still high even while trimming up.
As a matter of fact I eat like this every Sunday
https://youtu.be/0dwH0se2-oA
hahahaa............... bowl of ice cream big as mi fkn head!
Thats what we are talking about here....... eating for size.
When i preach to these news that they should bulk for their first two years in bodybuilding they must think im talkin out my ass............ i mean we see here guys talking about bulking then cutting all in a 6mth period? wft man what are they cutting ????????
