#1427: Don’t Make These 6 Bulking Mistakes
Related Questions
As a 167cm, 27-year-old male weighing 60kg with 12% body fat who is looking to bulk up, I need to eat 2700 calories and 150g of protein. However, I've been struggling to reach those amounts from whole foods, and my appetite is suppressed before I can eat enough. I am eating three meals a day, focusing on protein and high-carb meals around workouts, within an 11-hour window. I don't want to stretch that window to avoid feeling full before bed. What strategies can I employ to increase my appetite, how many meals should I eat instead, and should I eat less fat (currently around 90g per day) to feel hungrier sooner after meals?
I am a hardgainer who has always struggled with eating enough, despite trying everything right in terms of training and sleep. For about a week, I managed to eat the best I've ever done while bulking, consuming around 3500 calories easily, including 400g of carbs. However, I usually have a good week or two of eating, and then something happens that disrupts my appetite or causes digestive issues. Today, I ate breakfast and lunch fine, but I had a soup that I didn’t reheat completely, and since then, I haven't felt hungry. I ate some Christmas cookies at 16:00, but I still don’t feel like eating my usual meals, and I feel a bit blocked. As of now, I've only consumed 1300 calories and 70g of protein, which is not ideal. Why does my gut get messed up after a week or two of good eating? Is this issue happening today as well? What can I do to save my appetite and ensure I meet my bulking goals? I'm about to eat a chicken with rice noodles that I just prepared. I need to stop this cycle and reach 75kg first, then my dream weight of 80kg. Please help!
