Fuck. I can't take 10 cups of oats a day....

10 cups of oats

nobody should be doomed to that much repetition of something so bland in such a quantity everyday

Whoo! So I'm not the only one who feels this is punishment. Yeah. I'm changing things up a bit. I have to, or I'll never survive.

maybe you can jazz up those oats somehow, the chicken, tuna, ect too.

you just need some inspiration my boy!

Go out and buy a 10 lb bag of instant potatoes. Make sure you eat them early in the day though. High glycemic.

Tommy - I'm not sure where you got the idea that oats are the best carb source out there, so that means you have to only incorporate them ito your diet, idea, but it's wrong. You need variety. You do not want to eat the same food source day in and day out, as you are missing many key elements (vits, minls,etc) associated with other foods. 1-2 cups of oats is PLENTY. Incorporate whole grain or flax bread, whole wheat pasta, yams, VEGGIES, and you'll be on your way....like I said, it's nearly impossible to bulk cleanly the entire time........you are 17 years old with a roaring metabolism.....EAT!

I can't find whole wheat pasta anywhere

Think of food as fuel for your body, because that's what it is...not something pleasurable/fun/something to do when bored, etc. Society today has too many darn emotions and social interactions centered around food and eating, and that's why people are so darn fat.

Put your nose to the grind and eat. At your age you will be light years ahead of everyone in the future if you stick to it now.

I dont know, I used to come from the school of thought that said EAT EAT EAT. Hell, I even preached it here many times. But I've done a 180 since then, so to speak. Our bodies are not garbage disposals. We need to be conscious of what we eat all year, not just one season (cutting season). It's so much easier to cut when the majority of your gains were lean in the off-season. Now, I'm not saying not to indulge. Do so, but be smart about it. Take pizza - what the fuck is it? Bread, tomato paste, cheese, and pepperonis. There's no advantage there, except to keep sane. So indulge every so often, but don't make it a habit. You need to keep the calories clean and eat a lot of those foods. Yeah, I used to eat PB+J all the fucking time when I bulked. But I had to pay the price when cutting season came around. There's this belief that bulking is easy, and how you can eat whatever you want. Bullshit. Nothing's easy, you just gotta work hard.
