I recently recovered from an eating disorder. I have to gain some weight over the next month for a weigh in. I hate the slow gradual bulk and that is risky for me since not gaining is not an option for me. I like completely stuffing myself silly (dirty bulk) and also I like a nice cut but I hate a gradual bulk(not comfortable and more stressful for me). So I was thinking of doing a nice dirty and aggressive bulk for the next month (aiming for 1 to 2 pounds week) and then do a quick cut to eliminate the excess fat. I will then do another strong bulk. During the bulk, I will be aiming for 3000 to 4000 calories a day of mostly clean but some junk and will cut on about 1800 calories. I would prefer to do the cut and bulk cycles quickly over one long clean bulk for many reasons. I figure I might as well go dirty and truly enjoy my bulk since I can always shed the fat later. Also since I'm going to be doing a lot of short cycles, I won't ever have too much extra weight on me. I understand this is not the ideal way to gain but I think this is what is best for my lifestyle. How should I approach the bulking part? Can I include some junk foods? Would 3000 or 4000 calories be better? (I'm quite active) any other thoughts or questions? Can I eat some junk food like a burger and fries or fried chicken or some cookie cake since I'm bulking as long as I eat mostly healthy?

    you seem like you already have a plan. not sure why the questions.

    I fill my calories out with ice cream and oreos to be honest.

    when you are eating a ton of food- that "healthy/clean" crap isn't going to cut it. You just can't eat enough of it over the course of the time frame most of the time to really make it happen- so you ahve to go for food that doesn't leave you full- but gives you extra calories.

    As far as #'s- 3000 will be too low I suspect.

    Ya I was staring to think 3000 might be too low to gain my 1 to 2 pounds. So do you think it would be okay to do an aggressive bulk for a good month and then cut to eliminate the fat? I will gain more fat in this time than most would on a bulk but I like cutting and this is what fits into my life the best.

    I think I might start to indulge in some Unhealthy foods a bit. I'm only young once and this kind of situation doesn't always come upso I might as well enjoy the food

    My suggestion for anyone recovering from an eating disorder is to talk to your therapist and learn how to eat properly. If you are still in recovery, obsessing over what you eat, and how much you work out, probably isn't the best thing. Take it easy, and just eat a healthy and balanced diet for a little bit. Is this weigh-in specifically for medical reasons?
