Well boys and girls bulking season is upon us. I've noticed quite a few threads on good ways to bulk easy and cheap. I would like to share with you all the easy bulking diet I used last fall/winter that packed on 22lbs but fell to 17lbs total after the water fell off.

Carbs 466
Protein 463
That is Fat 19% Carbs 41% Protein 40%
I followed this diet exactly monday through friday. On the weekends however, I would change a few things up. For example instead of omelets I would make protein pancakes. I would also replace the chicken for red meat or fish. I would also eat 1 Large pizza to myself each weekend (meat lovers of course).
Here was my weekly grocery list that I followed for 15 weeks
5 Dozen Eggs
3 Boxes quaker oatmeal
3 bags frozen brocoli
7 clif bars
14 Chicken Breasts
2 Steaks
1lb tube extra lean ground beef
1 Pot Roast (optional)
7 Bananas
2 bags wheat pasta
3 bags uncle bens brown rice
5 cans tuna
2 Gallons 2% milk
Medium Wheat Pita Bread
1 extra large bag salad
1 Bottle coconut oil
2 Large Tomatos
2 Green Peppers
I rarely ever walked out of the store dropping over 80-90 dollars.
Now granted I was on cycle for this... And it included.
Weeks 1-8 Dbol (pyramid cycled)
week 1-20mg/ed
week 2-30mg/ed
week 3-40mg/ed
week 4-40mg/ed
week 5-40mg/ed
week 6-30mg/ed
week 7-20mg/ed
week 8-10mg/ed
Weeks 1-12 Sustanon 250mg eod (m,w,f,sun,tues,thurs,sat,mon,wed,ect)
Weeks 1-10 Deca 200mg every 6 days.
Hopefully this may help some of you out. It is pretty cost effective and it will get the job done for bulking. After last year there are a few things I would do different.
1. I wouldn't cycle as long. Next time I think I'll go more around the 6-8 week mark, come off and carb cycle for 6 weeks, then do another bulker before going into carb cycling again, then eventually in to keto dieting.
2. I would use more coconut oil, like in my eggs.
3. Add some cottage cheese to the bed time meal
Other than that, I have absolutely no complaints with this diet, some of you may, but then again some of you just may be looking for this...
enjoy
