Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Can someone please tell me how to properly bulk? I would like to do it cleanly and avoid putting on alot of fat. Is it just a matter of eating tons of healthy food and taking in lots of protein? I am 6'4" 195lbs and have always had trouble putting on weight. I'm guessing I am probably between 12 - 14% bf, but need to get it measured. I've been on the 5x5 program now for 3 weeks and I plan on staying with it for a few months before changing it up. Any suggestions?

As far as the type of food I like goes, I like just about anything. I'm not picky at all when it comes to eating. I currently try to eat about 5 times a day. Usually my day looks something like this:
7:00 - workout
8:30 - 2 eggs, toast, creatine
11:15 - lunch #1, usually chicken and vegetables
1:15 - lunch #2, more of what I ate at the first lunch
3:00 - snack, some peanuts or fruit
5:30 - dinner, whatever the wife feels like having that night
8:00 - snack, cottage cheese or something
I don't think the creatine is helping very much. The supply I have will run out in about a week and then I plan on buying some optimum nutrition protein and taking about 3 servings a day.

heres waht i would do.
7:00 - workout
8:30 - 5 eggs, half pound bacon, protein shake, 1 cup oatmeal
11:15 - half a chicken, lots of brocolli
1:15 - half a chicken, protein shake, various veggies
3:00 - huge snack, whatever you can find thats good
5:30 - lots of red meat, lots of good carbs, stuff your face til you pop, and a protein shake
8:00 - oatmeal
i would get optimum nutrition vanilla ice cream protein shake and mix it with milk, it actually tastes very good and not like a protein shake.

ok
the big whey shake and tuna shake sound disgusting
cup of pasta cup of rice? no protien? same with the jell-o?
plus I don't think you have to rely on protien powder so much
that's my opinion
if I ate like that I would
a) be sick
B) be fat
c) feel very sluggish
but if it works for you.........
