3,500 Calorie Diet?

geovanimbenitez840

I'm 19 and I weigh 142lbs. My goal is to weigh 160lbs of muscle. I go to the gym everyday except Saturday and Sunday. My personal trainer told me to eat 3,200 calories a day, but I have a very difficult time eating all that. The best I can do is 2,800. What meals can I eat to reach 3,500 calories? I'm allergic to eggs (can't have no eggs at all) and wheat (I eat a little bit of wheat anyway). I really want to bulk up a bit so any help would be great!!

Nuts and seeds are calorie-dense and nutritious, also a great source of protein. Avocados and oils like rapeseed or olive oil are also high in calories, can be easily added to meals.

Ice cream, peanut butter.... or a combination of both.

Cheese and full fat dairy

Agreed. Look into using almond flour for breads and cookies (there are some good recipes on the internet). I second the avocados and olive oil. Also, coconut oil is a good fat that is high in calories.

go to gaining weight forum and check out the sticky there..

I would say bagels, pasta, ice cream, cookies, full fat milk/cottage cheese/yogurt, etc…

make sure that you are hitting your macro/micro targets too….
