When I started lifting I knew that I NEEDED to eat more than previously. The problem- I did not feel hungry even though I just had a heavy lifting session. I soon realized that I needed to TEACH MYSELF to be hungry. I increased the amount of oatmeal I had at a time from 1 cup to 2 cups, I mixed cheese in with my eggs ect. People who struggle putting on weight need to realize that they need to stop eating based off of hunger but instead whether or not they NEED to eat.

One thing I will say is, take it slow when eating like this guy. If you immediately start choking down all that food your guts will not be happy (at least mine weren't). Irritable GI, bloating, and pain were some nasty side effects that i experienced. A lot of the big boys tell you to "Stop being a pansy!" and wolf down that food so you can get SicK GaiNS! Take your time, this isn't a race.

[@hussainthebane]

This diet isn't really worthwhile. You'd rather gain weight slower than getting over 5k a day and being bloated to fk. Imagine a normal maintenance diet with 300-700 calories on top. That wouldn't be hard and you can actually bulk without gaining a shit ton of fat. That is how people bulk in their first year of lifting to a new weight and never really drop below it.

[@TheXyek]

hello. Eat less fat fuck. free advice.

[@TheHanspeter8]

Mainly eat less. Especially less carbs, the carbs you do eat, eat before working out or doing something you need energy for. Try to keep protein and fat intake high while being below your daily calorie expenditure.

[@fuckfuckiluvesex]

why cut back on carbs

[@TheHanspeter8]

Because you want to eat a lot of protein and fat while limiting your caloric intake. Carbs are not an essential nutrient for humans. They are not needed to build cells or produce Hormons unlike fat and protein. They are in that sense "empty" calories i.e. you just need to consume them to fill up your energy needs. When you are cutting you want to still get all your essential nutrients while pushing your daily caloric intake below your daily caloric expenditure, because carbs have no nutritional value besides calories it makes sense to focus on reducing your intake of them if you want to cut.

[@fuckfuckiluvesex]

finally a good a thorough bulking and full day of eating video thank you

[@blackphoenix8932]

No need for this. You're better off just working out your current total cals per day, and adding 10% more every time your lifting progress stagnates. It's like a slow long term bulk, that better reflects the rate an individual (especially a natty) can gain muscle. You'll also minimalize body fat gain, which eliminates the tedious need to keep cutting.

[@stelliumeleven2889]

superior progress on a excessive surplus mate. fuck stagnation.

[@jermapushedmeintoameatgrinder]

It is faster to bulk 5 months on ~500kcal surplus and then cut 3 months versus slowly building same amount of muscle for a year. For inexperienced bodybuilders issue with adding 10% every time is there is a lot more room for error, also who cares if they get chubby for some time? You are free to do what you want anyway

[@blackphoenix8932]

Sugar I agree, you are free to add 5 inches to your waist and an extra 40/20 to your blood pressure. I just wouldn't want to risk the negative health effects that can come from sudden weight gain. Especially because at some point it's gonna lead to a cut, which is going to dramatically slow/halt progress anyway.

[@blackphoenix8932]

Sugar Also, 500 calories isn't really that great of a bulk, after a few months of productive strength training, that would probably become maintenance (for a novice anyway). My suggestion takes into consideration that as you gain useful bodyweight, your metabolic rate increases as well as your need for calories. Instead of well overshooting your current caloric requirement to gain muscle, and gaining a bunch of useless bodyweight that you are gonna have to deal with at some point anyway.

[@jermapushedmeintoameatgrinder]

Yeah, dirty bulks are pretty pointless if you have no mental reasons for them. Not talking about adding 200 pounds and cutting 150. But I was talking about a controlled bulk (300-500) surplus max. It is the most efficient way of building muscle. For health problems, "sudden weight gain" seems to not be a real issue if you are gaining 0.5kgs per week. While cutting, sure you are not as peak performance, but if you have high fat you will still grow lots as a beginner, and people also take replenishing weeks to get energy on cuts.

[@Sealed_Chamber]

In order to gain weight I had to, each day, consume: 1 gallon of heavy cream 10 pounds of rice with 1 pound of butter and 5 pounds of ground beef 5 sweet potatoes 5 plantains 5 dozen eggs cooked in a stick of butter I have since reached my goal weight of 150 pounds.

This video, I believe, has given me the motivation I needed to hop back into the grind. To eat like a Lord and lift like a Beast. Thank you, brother, for continuing to guide me on my journey.

[@christopherfischer6998]

Yo Alan. I think I’m the opposite of you. I went from being 225 lbs at around 5’10 (I was overweight) to now today weighing 165 lbs. I took the same approach as this video but I just did the opposite and drastically ate less food without depriving or starving myself.

[@SilencedJeager6]

Thank you for this video. As a lifelong skinny guy, I've had enough. Thank you for the info!

[@youraverageartist5855]

This video (and most of Alan's content) should be hitting the millions of views not just 600k. The bulking info in this video are on point. No question.

[@shahargabay2808]

Awesome video! I will say that from my experience this is a diet for a tall 100 kg bulker. As a 70kg 1.75 average-skinny-can't-gain-boy, 3k calories definitely worked and still felt like plenty of food. My daily menu is as follows: - 2 toasts with peanut butter - greek yogurt with like 100g granola and some nuts - lunch with 200g of some carb and a similar amount of meat - oats with nuts and fruit - again some carbs and meat for dinner - trail mix Worked perfectly but can get a bit hard if you truly can't eat so much.

Milk is the best

This is the most surprising motivational video that I ever saw.

[@xmurder95x]

285.5 g of fat... holy fuck that moly

[@Slawsers]

fat wont make you fat carbs do

[@Paulios04]

Fat doesn't make you fat carbs don't make you fat eating too many calories a day over a period of time makes you fat. You could eat 2000 calories of only fat and still lose weight or the same for just carbs. Calories are what matters you moron

[@HHHHH5-g5g]

Exactly its nice to see people that understand this.

[@imthemetalguy1]

I did this for a whole year, and it actually did help me gain weight. I followed it to the letter and I gained 30 lbs. After I got a new position at work, I scaled down a bit and am still getting used to this. Especially with a back injury

[@exxie1]

It's just lately I knew that my coach watches your videos. I'm an ultra-skinny dude, just 45 kgs at 5'7. And his advice to me about gaining weight? EAT. He didn't even try selling me the supplements he's selling, he told me just drink whole milk (I'm lactose intolerant though, and have annoying food allergies). Just fucking eat, 4 times at minimum. Honestly, after over 3 years, already gained 20 kg+, I still struggle to eat. I got used to the bawling and forcing myself to eat because I can lose a kilo in 2 days if I don't eat a lot. Again, for my skinny brothers, fucking EAT, a lot. It's not that complicated, but it sure is a struggle. All worth it at the end

[@2Tall_Powerlifting]

Aldi has the eggs and milk beat. Eggs 69-99 cents, milk 2.19-2.39. Valli has the rice I need and I'm glad to see 110 servings of oats, I go through a regular canister in 3 days...

i fucking love alan's food videos

[@jelenalysak4684]

This must be the best video on youtube, every new lifter needs to see this!

[@devinwebb0]

literally one of the best videos to learn from

[@clap5]

Gaining weight is easy for me...losing it with out losing muscle at the same time is hard. Shit...dieting down is hard period!

[@jabberwock14]

Alan and I have the same bowls. I feel so untamed.

[@brettco20]

watching this while stuffing my face and drinking calories.

[@brettco20]

even with a low appetite I can still get eat decently "clean" and gain weight. I just have to proactively eat

[@lort6022]

no one cares

[@lloyd1176]

Best bulking video on KZbin , straight to the point and no bullshit

[@PsyloRide]

your videos has this 80's television comedy show style wich is too funny man, keep it. I'm on dirty bulk right now!! thnks

[@matthewshelton650]

Holy fuck bud I would feel like a living piece of dog shit eating all that fat in one day hahaha thats like a weeks worth for me

[@RealnameKevin]

SELL OUT!!!!!!!! It's bulk for life bro .

[@mts2457]

10:01 not sure why but that piece of lettuce moving is kinda spooky scary

[@xboxhuegable]

You think that's spooky? Guess what, there's a skeleton inside you RIGHT NOW!

[@MartianManhunterNumberOne]

How the fuck did you even notice that tiny piece?!

[@mts2457]

Andreas Alsbäck I think it had to do with my brain assumed that was just a still image that he popped in next to the other food and I didn't expect it to move

[@Cliftyman]

There is so much wisdom in this video.... Thanks Alan

[@tiaronjenkins776]

Best bulking video out there, great work 💪🏽

From one Marine to another thanks for this video....I am a hard gainer. Going to give this a try. You earned yourself a sub

[@GuitarDaddyo]

Man. I am winding down for bed, now I am starved....lmao. I am excited for breakfast tomorrow. Thank you Alan. This menu looks awesome.

[@chrisharlin7096]

Oddly enough this is about what I've been eating for years. At 6'2" with long lanky limbs it takes a lot of food and training to even look like I'm doing anything.

[@highasakite4122]

LMAO i have trouble eating only 2800 calories

[@lukeappleby5292]

I have trouble eating under 2800 calories cutting sucks

[@eztvlight1202]

Add fats, they are calorie dense.

[@otallono]

It's a lot easier to not eat than to eat.. sure you get hungry, so what? It takes more effort to go and buy the food and then to cook it and then to eat it.

[@NosiGlobal]

i can tell you've never been a fat boy lol. to us bulking is easy, you'll never understand the other side im afraid

[@ariat3381]
