    Yeh its tough. It can be hard to get so many calories in when they are clean!!!! Sometimes I get to that sixth meal and I'm like really is it time to again!? I love it though. I love how strong I feel and how my weights keep getting heavier. I did a body composition scan a week ago so I will be interested to see what that shows after 30 days. :)

    then don't eat clean ..

    problem solved.

    I'm on a bulk plan and I consume over 3000 calories a day. It is hard but I try to take in more carbs than protein. I really stay away from all the junk food or any microwavable meals. Eat a lot of brown rice for complex carbs &snack 1 cup Greek yogurt with bare naked oats &berries. Drinking lots of milk helps & raw oatmeal soaked in milk will up those calories a lot. Especially if you mix in fruits and all that :)
    That's what I consume 3k and that's hard as hell lol

    you need to incorporate ice cream, bagels, pasta, full fat cheese and yogurt, etc….

    Like wheel said, don't get hung up on healthy vs unhealthy or clean vs non clean …that is just food moralism…

    I wanted to gain back 30 pounds after I had my baby, but so far at 7 months out I've only gained back about 20. But I've gotten strong. I'm hovering where I am now, within 3 to 5 pounds it fluctuates. I've recently started prepping snacks and lunches the way I prep dinners and my husband's lunch, so I'm hoping it helps me eat more, usually I'm too busy to make something so I just go until lunch, then go till dinner.......

    If I gotta hear your so skinny one more time I'm gonna pop someone!

    I hear that! I'm having trouble being patient, too, but I only started last week. It sounds like you're doing well!
