    2500?thats it?

    If you need to get in more calories, eat more calorie dense foods - oils and butter (to cook in or drizzle over vegies or salad), fattier meats and oily fish, whole eggs, avocado. Use full fat dairy or coconut milk/cream - make your shakes with it! Carb dense vegies (lots of starchies) and fruit (bananas, dates). Grains - rice, Quinoa, pasta etc.

    What height are you? 2500 seems low for gaining.

    I am 6" but I am a student so it seems hard to buy all the food I need

    I'm a student too, your best friends for bulking will probably be oats, pasta, milk and musclefood meats.

    I'm currently cutting but I've got 3 set meals for when I'm bulking. If you check my diary for tomorrow you'll see what an average day would be like for me. You can probably tell I'm a big fan of milk! That whole day would cost around £3. Less than £100 a month on food for 3200 calories a day!

    Yeah that sounds good thanks and I am so stuttering I haven't been adding milk to the diary xD that would make my day around 3.4k

    +2 on the whole milk. Body builders having been using GOMAD (gallon of milk a day) for years very effectively to pound on the weight. (Pun intended!)

    Four and a half litres in a galleon. I'm gonna stick with half a galleon, I'd rather not all my calories coming from liquids!

    The very first thing I did for my most recent bulk was swap out 1% milk to whole milk..
