whats the best foods to bulk up, and put on size??

[huskyguy]

Drink lots of milk--whole milk. I've blown up from 170lbs to just under 220lbs within the last 6 months. I eat at our work cafeteria, I try to eat clean and I consume a gallon of milk a day. I am just over 10% bodyfat at 5ft7. My workouts are focused on squats and deadlifts as the core. 3 to 4 days a week

Protein bars are a convenient bulking food although they are a bit expensive at $2 a piece. I am lucky my bosses wife does advertising promos for the makers of Joyride bars, so I can get all I can stand for free. 30 grams of protein in each one--but a lot of calories too!

Junk food may help put on weight but look at the average junk food consuming American they are fat and doughy--not exactly what most bodybuilders should want. The goal is to carry a lot of muscle on your frame not to have a huge gut.

huskyguy that is a lot of weight you gained.. and i notice in almost all your posts you say that you drink a gallon of whole milk a day.

i am wondering, did you make those gains natural .. or juicing aswell.

and, my family buys 1 % milk ... is it important that it is whole milk.. i may be ignorant, but i don't much of a difference between the two

BUT IF YOU MIGHT CHOOSE ONLY ONE FOOD, WILL IT BE CHIKEN OR OATS !!!!??

The difference? 765 calories is the difference

Skim milk is a great lean bulking food that is cheap and readily available nearly everywhere. When I was wanting to add size, I always reached for a huge glass of skim milk. I drank half a gallon a day. With a good combo of mostly slow released cassein (80%) and quicker digested whey (20%) protein, skim milk will provide your muscles with a sustained protein source all day. Just drink it instead of anything else.

I've been competing non-stop for almost 3 yrs now...this weekend i have a show coming up and the following weekend i have one more and thats it...im gonna take a yr off and eat whateverm is around....i need a break and not worry about what im eating, how much im eating, or if i should be eating this and that..

usually when bulking this is what my day looks like:

Meal 1
5 whole egg omelette with goulda cheese and salami
4 english muffins with jam or 2 bagels with peanut butter
2 pop tarts or 2 krispy kreme donuts
16 oz of chocolate milk or strawberry milk

Meal 2
chicken and cheese mix (3 chciken breasts smothered with goulda cheese)
2 cups of white rice and a cup of black beans
grape juice or OJ

Meal 3 (post workout)
Burger King
Whopper w/cheese,bacon, and mayo
chicken sandwich with mayo
large fries
2 milk shakes

Meal 4
large steak
sweet potato
fried plantains w/salami
couple slices of avocado

Meal 5
big ass bowl of frosted flakes - milk
3 bananas mixed in with the cereal
2 hot pockets (pizza flavor)

Meal 6
turkey sandwich with swiss cheese
1/2 dozen rice cakes with peanut butter/jelly

thats a typical day in the offseason...i like to eat out at restaurants on the weekends....i dont recommend everyone eat like this, i could do this and stay under 10% because my metabolism allows me to do so...

plus it makes it so much easier to see the changes in my phjysique whe dieting hard...

eggs have been on sale lately where I live, eggs are a perfect bulking food.

[krieg]

ohh yes eggs are awsome , the other day i ate record 30 eggs, yes i smelled but i was full of protein when i went for a nap, . Milk is awsome, I always buy milk with 8g of fat- the reason it tastes so fucken good down your throat. I go for a galon since its so fucken good. Peanut butter gives litttle heartburn but i can get used to a little heartburn down deep in my throat. Also a bowl of fresh vegetables is nice to have now and then, especially with lots of tomatoes , onions and cabage.

whole milk = 2% milk

????????

[huskyguy]

Actually whole milk is higher fat than 2%. In most stores there are 3 types of milk; skim, 2% and whole milk. Some stores sell double cream milk which is almost as rich as half and half. I love whole milk, it tastes better than 2% and is more digestable, 2% and skim tend to give me gas. I do not have any digestive problems with whole milk. Drink a lot of it and you will put on some serious weight.

[krieg]

i wish they lower the damn price on milk like it was , fucken 4.50 thats rediculous!

[doggmann]

when bulking seriously, i prefer whole raw cow's milk from a farm near my house...the cow's are tested and certified and the milk is creamier than any homogenized milk you ever tasted...the cream is always on the top of the gallon, so you have to shake it up welll to get it mixed, but nothing comes close for taste and results...

does soy provide the same amount of nutrition as milk? I am lactose intolerant, I cannot eat cheese or drink milk. I waslooking into soy but it seems pretty expensive, 5$ for a 2 liter carton. Also how do you seperate the egg white from the yellow in a way that no yellow gets in the mix, i usually do it with a spoon but it isn't very efficient.

[huskyguy]

No soy is not as nutritious as milk, there are enzyme pills that help with lactose intolerance, and they are all natural go to your local health food store--not GNC. When I am bulking I eat the whole egg--the yolk is the best part. Whole milk and eggs are two of the most inexpensibe high protein bulking foods available.

Hey huskey how much protien does 1 egg(whole have?) I wanna add them to my shake but don't wanna put to much in!

[Bimmer]

damn pudge, thats fucking nuts. You got one hell of a metabolism! What your wieght

[huskyguy]

A jumbo or large whole egg has about 6 to 7 grams of protein,
