Trying to bulk what do i eat?

[Sh4nk]

I'm 17, 130 pounds

Got a decent workout plan going, but I need to know what to eat! I know I need a bunch of calories/protien and 6 meals a day.

Some one give me some REALISTIC meals. Like I can't cook eggs or make tuna for every meal. Usually when I get out of school I have 1 hour from the time the bell rings intill my shift at work starts lol.

Should I avoid fast foods?? Carbs are carbs right? Taco bell is right by my house, is that somthing to take advantage of? Easy calories, or is that the kind of food I need to avoid.

Any supplements WORTH taking?

I try to eat alot of steak/chicken/peanuts etc. I just don't understand the "eat big to get big" thing. If I go to mcodnalds after school every day AND work out am I going to get big (muscle not fat)?? I understand that I'm going to put some fat on but I can always cut later and I have a fast metabolism.

Yea so... lets hear the adivce

If you have a fast metabolism, then EAT EAT EAT everything in sight bro! Get lots of carbs, lots of fat, lots of protein...just avoid dirty foods, shit heavy in saturated fat and high GI-carbs(white bread, white pasta, white rice).

Taco Bell sucks, you dont NEED that shit man. Get your carbs, fats and protein from clean sources. Invest in some whey protein, pack some with you to take to work and school. Try eating every 2 hours or so. Subway is a good source for a lot of protein and shit, try getting a couple of 1' subs in ya every day! Haha or not, it's kinda expensive...

Basically, don't worry about the fat at this point. Worry about that later, in like 6 months. Yeah youll get fat and muscley if you eat and work out right, it comes with the territory.

Fast food aint bad, do you have Wendys by your house? Try getting their grilled chicken sandwhich(PLAIN if you can) with baked potatos and diet soda. Tasty and full of carbs/protein. I dont know what Taco Bell's menu looks like, I just know its very processed and is like bullshit wannabe-Mexican food.

Hit up the brown rice, whole wheat bread, oatmeal, chicken, eggs, steak, turkey, beef, wheat pasta, bananas, whey protein shakes...man, just eat a shitload of carbs and protein!

You want Calories? Healthy ones? I'm on a cutting diet right now and I'm eating 24 ounces of chicken a day, you'll be looking at that + lean beef among other things. A good way to get more calories is what BiggT says he does and suggested to me when I thought about bulking, I can make an 1100 calorie shake.

2 servings All Natural Peanut Butter, 2 scoops of my Powder, a serving of Choccie ice cream and just for more calories, I used whole milk. Also, eat yourself 2-3 servings of almonds a day and have 2 more servings of ANPB, throw in olive oil in there.

How many calories do you want to eat a day? Or you just eating until you get to your goal weight?

Here is a sample breakfast I had made for a bulking diet.
4 scrambled eggs....280
2 servings Bacon....220
2 cups milk....220
4 slices toast (pepperidge farm toast with 100 cal slices)....400
Total Cals for Meal One: 1120

Meal 2 was my Shake, 1100 calories.

Meal 3 was right before work.
3 servings Chicken...330
2 servings almonds...340
1 servings ANPB....210
Total for meal 3: 880

Meal 4 was at break, I ate two cereal bars, highest calories I could find. The ones I eat now, I'll use as an example are 200 a piece, 44 carbs a piece. Also, as I've read, drink milk, a lot, so I drank a cup of milk with the bars.
2 bars/...400 cals
1 cup milk...110
Total meal 4: 510

Meal 5 was Pork Chops on Wheat Bread *Ugh I hate those now*
2 Pork Chops...240 cals?
4 slices bread...220ish
2 servings ANPB...420
1 cup milk...110
Total Meal 5: 990

Meal 6 is break, 2 more bars and 1 more cup of milk so same as meal 4
Total cals: 510

There you go, for a grand total of 5,110 calories for a day. A LOT of fats in it but for the most part all healthy fats, the majority at least. If you like to eat rice, eat the shit out of eat, good calorie feeler and great carbs. I can run on a low amount of carbs, some people can't function without them it seems.

At 130, even having a fast metab you should gain fast on 5k a day. You could get more unlike me, on my breaks I only have 10 minutes and if you have a little extra time, take out the cereal bars and put in chicken and rice, or beef or something. You could get to 6k or 6.5k probably.

Oh, and btw. Prepare to cook a lot if you want to do it healthy.

I remember when I was that age and size. My metabolism was and still is crazy fast. I would eat two lunches at school, one I brought and one I bought. As soon as I got home from school I would eat whatever was around and I still couldn't put on much weight. My suggestion to you depending on your metabolism would be to eat whatever you want. I would eat two quarter pounders from mcdonalds on my lunch break from work and it sure didn't make me a blob of fat. Buy some protein from GNC and cook a bunch of stuff ahead of time, chicken breasts; rice; pb&j sandwiches. Just remember that fast food isn't going to be real nutrient dense so eat your fruits and veggies. Hope this helps.
