Hey everybody. I am currently on a slow bulking phase. My breakfast is 3 eggs and a cup of oatmeal with 36 almonds. I find it hard to eat enough to meet my calorie goal. If you would, pls share your muscle building breakfast and also if you have ideas on healthy calorie dense foods? My diary is open to public if you want to know.

I don't eat breakfast, but when I do start eating, meatloaf muffins have been one of my go-tos.
Looking at your diary, I'd add some PB to your oatmeal in the morning and have a bowl of ice cream after dinner,
FTR, I'm a 5'6" 130 lb female with a 2700 calorie goal and I have no problems meeting it!0 -
I switch between two breakfasts:
1. 3 eggs with spinach, 1/2 cup oatmeal, 5oz strawberries, Dannon light and fit GY/chicken sausage.
2. Protein pancakes, some sausages, 5oz strawberries.
Looking at your diary, it seems like you eat pretty healthy food. Don't be afraid to eat some junk, as long as the majority of your diet is composed of whole foods you'll be fine. Calories are king when it comes to gaining weight.0 -

Yeah, I should probl add sum junk like u said for calories. I just find it hard to eat enough bc I feel so full. Thanks alot0 -
I eat kashi go lean mixed with plain greek yogurt (and fruit) for breakfast. It's hard to get a lot of calories from it since it's so filling, but it provides about 30 grams of protein for me.0

Don't be afraid to drink your calories too. Protein shake made with a banana and some milk will help add calories without filling you up too much. And a scoop of PB in there too LOL0 -

I usually have a low-sugar cereal (Fiber One, regular Cheerios, Corn Flakes) with some Almond milk mixed with some vanilla protein powder! Or add some protein powder to the water you mix in with your oats!0

Mix the protein powder with some milk and add to oats after they're done cooking. Also--whole milk rather than 2% will be your friend.

It's great for bulking. GOMAD is a very popular bulking method. I'm not necessarily recommending it, but it's a great way to help you reach your calorie goals.0

Wow all of these recommendations are way better than mine lol. I just have a mass gainer protein shake, packet of oatmeal, 2 eggs, and a little fruit.0

Dude, you only get fat if you eat too much of a surplus. If you're consistently falling short, I see no reason not to have SOME whole milk.0
