hard to hit 4000cals

McDonalds. Burger King. Wendy's. Pizza Hut.

I don't get how people say getting calories in is "hard".

But don't you ever get tired of consistently eating at a surplus every day? I know I do/have. Sure, with practice (and especially with some dietary changes*), it isn't so bad, but it can still be a chore. And yeah, I get tired of consistently eating certain fast food.


(*My Great Paleo Bulk of 2012 felt like eating was my frickin' job. So many nights cramming in yet another meal of whole foods late at night trying to reach a ~4000 target. Sure, the first few weeks were awesome, but eventually...ugh. Just got tired of eating food. No, seriously. So relaxing those dietary restrictions made it much easier.)

Honestly, not really.

But I do understand where you're coming from, and I've heard this fairly often from people during their first bulks.

I just love food too much.
Plus, having experienced a (relatively) drastic cut going from bulking @4,000/day to finishing my cut around 1,800 calories/day...I've come to really appreciate the grace periods of bulking and eating to my hearts content.

Did the OP ever come back? I'm curious how the 1lb per day gain is going.
