    Almonds. A cup of those will give you around or over a thousand calories and some protein and fiber too. I ate plain roasted ones in my last bulk.

    I drink 2 thousand calorie shakes a day to fill the gaps.

    One suggestion would be to make a big batch of chicken curry, chilli con carne or spaghetti bolognaise, load it up with a load of veg, lentils, chick peas and have it with either rice, potato, pasta or spaghetti with a glass or two of full fat milk and that should net between 1,000 - 1,150 calories for one meal.

    For breakfast, go with 3 scoops of porridge, 4 scoops of full fat milk, banana or whatever fruit you want, a scoop of flaxseed or millseed or sunflower or if you can get all 3, do, a tablespoon of jam. Should get you nearly 1,000 calories.
    For the rest of the day, as @nakedraygun said, almonds are great as are cashews.
    If you are struggling with eating that much food, drink some of the calories like a shake.
    A suggestion would be to pre-log the day as much as you can so you know what you are eating, when and how much.
    I'm on a 1,000 more than you and I more or less do it this way.

    1,000 calorie shake will do it. Two of those ans food you will hit over 3,000 plus cals. I make my shakes, one scoop of weight gainer, milk, cup of blackberries, 2 tbsp of peanut butter, 1/2 cup of raw oats

    Peanut butter and Ice cream. A "clean" bulk has 0 to do with the food you eat and all to do with the amount of surplus.

    I've tried putting in raw oats into the shake but it never tastes right.

    That would depend on the fast food place in question. McDonalds no. Burger King, yes, especially their double bacon cheeseburger.

    Just eat a third of what this guy eats and you'll be fine.

    I get through 3,000 easy, just wish it would build me more muscle. Lots of snacking & eat lots just before bed. Seems to all add up.

    Just started my 3000 cal bulk. Homemade weight gainer before bed @ 1000 cal helps make eating the other 2 throughout the day easier.

    Try to split the 3000 up to 5 or 6 meals. They'll be much more manageable.

    Neither do I. Awful food. However that double bacon cheeseburger in Burger King can become an extra large one if you are really after a lot of calories or a not thinking right as you have had one too many drinks on a night out!!

    Sure the burger is full of protein, the chips/fries are full of carbs and both are good for us;)
