    As long as it's with ice cream, then the one you like ;)


    In all honestly, any food you enjoy that will help you hit your calorie goal. I love almost all fruits and like a variety to maximizing nutrient intake.

    Actually probably this. Unless someone can think of a more calorie dense fruit.

    Yeah...I mean. You're bulking and your first inclination is to eat as much fruit as possible?

    Fruit for gainz WTF? Just increase your actual meals. Eat more of what your already eating, forget that additional fruit.

    My advice, don't focus too much on fruits. It's just not necessary in my experience. Add another banana in and maybe 2 apples and that's more than enough fruit for the day. That along side your real carbs then you'll be on your way to all kinds of gainz. Keep lifting heavy AF too. Good luck.

    Yeah, don't get caught up in fruit. It's has some carbs, and it's great for micronutrients...eat some. Otherwise, make sure you hit your calorie goal, with enough protein, and train with progressive overload.

    Cantaloupe and strawberries are some of my go to fruits when I want to eat a lot of volume for a low amount of calories.

    If you really want to increase your fruit intake but are trying to gain - why not try some dried fruits? By volume dried fruit is more calorie dense. In a couple minutes I could easily eat 500 calories in dried mangoes but would have a difficult time stomaching 500 calories of fresh mangoes in one sitting.
