Any tips of how to bulk and I don’t want any bs like eat a tub of peanut butter per day.
Mass gainer, make sure to take a quality one. Give solution, it’s the check in the right.
 
Male 17 5’9 125lbs, bulking for gym so preferably clean bulk
For lean bulk then forget about junk food and focus on carbs/proteins/fat but also micronutrients.
If you struggle to eat, instead of 3 big plates per day you can eat 6 plates per day

Examples of lean bulk diet :

A) In the morning you can make overnight oats with fruits, unflavoured protein powder, greek yogurt, skyr, cheap cocoa powder etc

B) Any snacks can be like greek yogurt with honey, fruits or the good old peanut butter fruits jelly sandwich with whole grain bread.

C) For lunch you can try to make a Hachis Parmentier, it's basically mashed potatoes and seasoned grinded beef/chicken/turkey meat. Imo it's easier to eat than the old rice/brocoli/boiled chicken method

D) If you want to taste british breakfast you can try a white/red/black beans, with lean bacon and fried eggs. It's mainly proteins & fats but still.

E) If you want to try mass gainers shakers, do one yourself for the higher quality in carbs and micronutrients (quick absorption carbs like maltodextrin, dextrose, vitargo should be kept in intra-workout drinks). Try a mix of unflavoured protein powder, milk, coffee or cocoa powder, peanut butter (the one without palm oil and sugar ofc), greek/skyr yogurt, fruits like bananas/dried dattes etc

D) Another snack idea : eating any types of nuts like wallnuts, cashew (unsalted) etc and canned sardines in olive oil. Also canned tuna and maquerels.

E) Try to make high caloric soup with unflavoured protein powder, beef/chicken stock, bone broth, different vegetables, onions, orzo pastas, lentils etc

F) Avoid protein bars, they're expensive and full of sugars, it will be the same as putting a scoop of protein in your Cheerios cereals. I mean you can do it, but it will be better to focus on micronutrients/fiber dense carbs.

G) When i was broke back then in Thaïland i was mixing 8 seasoned eggs and 50g of buckwheat flour to make an omelette with carbs.

Greek yogurt for a bulk I'm gonna fucking rope

All the grain sludge too just shoot me
 
500g of chicken has about 825-1000 calories, while 500g of beef has approximately 1440 calories

Fuck you mean jfl
Can hardly read since I have dark mode on, if you want to bulk just eat more carbs and fats simple as that
 
It also involves swapping out food for higher cal alternative (which beef is)
Whatev, generally when you're bulking you should be looking for more carbs and fats than protein rich foods

Mf said just get fat basically

well what over0 suggested is exactly that, beef tends to be on the fattier side so yes it’s smarter to eat more beef than chicken when bulking
 
Fine line between bulking and getting fat

Lean bulk is to gain as little fat and as much muscle as possible so common sense says we need HIGH protein
OP just wants to just bulk, I already wrote in my guide about why you should learn bulk ideally by just having a balanced diet and eating 10-20% above your maintenance calorie level.

Perhaps, but that's not a solution to just swap beef for chicken if you want to bulk

The purpose of a bulk is still to gain muscle mass especially a clean bulk jfl

it is a solution tho what are u talking ab? bulking = u need to consume more calories to gain weight (obviously u want to gain muscle rather than fat on a bulk, not the point rn), beef contains more calories than chicken bc it is fattier. u suggested eating more fats urself.
= swapping chicken for beef when bulking is a solution

Yeah but it won't make a huge difference, Duracels answer was much more complete and adequate to OPs question

yea it was but it doesn’t change the fact over0’s suggestion was still a great one that can also be implemented
 
Greek yogurt for a bulk I'm gonna fucking rope
Wdym it's for the protein intake mainly, it's a skimmed milk based fermented food. I'm not aware of the english terms for the different yogurts since english isn't my main language, but any fatter yogurt (like raw milk kefir) can be good too, it's up to OP's budget and what he can found where he lives
All the grain sludge too just shoot me
"muh oats is for the horses"

Whatev, generally when you're bulking you should be looking for more carbs and fats than protein rich foods
Carbs are mainly for glycogen restorage and brain function, that's why i recommend sources with micronutrients except intraworkout, but it can be switched with raw honey (from the local beekeeper, not the suoerlarket one diluted with corn syrup) if OP has the budget.
Fat are mainly for hormones production and replenish the fat storages inside the muscles (who get used by the body during training). Both are important for recovery
