Hi All,
I am in the boat of wanting to bulk up but I want to make sure I am eating healthy calories. I am somewhat noobish, so I am wondering if people can recommend healthy high calorie foods. Here the kicker, my wife wants to lose weight and we prepare the same meal for both of us. I realize portions control is essential but I don't really enjoy eating all day long. Anyone have pointers?

    Add healthy fats & oils to everything - coconut oil, avocados, nuts, eggs - all high caloric, but healthy fats and your wife can definitely watch her portions.

    Many thanks for the input.

    Fatty cuts of meat

    Could you elaborate on that? Do you mean, cuts like steak as apposed to pork?
