    I don't have diary, but I have a calorie dense shake! It should help with the calories and it's pretty delicious! If you need the macros, I can post them too if you would like. You can also add a little peanut butter for fats if needed. Hope this helps. bbrd3di64fj6.jpeg

    Hey not sure if my diary is public but when I was bulking on 4,000 calories, my normal day would look like the following;

    Breakfast - 4 scoops of porridge oats, 3 scoops of full fat milk, 1 scoop of grounded flaxseed,millseed,sunflower seed, banana, tablespoon of honey with a cup of tea.
    Mid morning snack - banana, handful of almonds and cashews and tea.
    Lunch - would be either two slices of wholegrain nutty brown bread, 2 tomatoes, half a pepper, 1/4 of a red onion, 50 grams of cucumber, peanut butter and 25 grams of turkey with 200 mls of full fat milk or tin of baked beans, tin of tuna and 75 grams of pasta.
    Mid afternoon snack - apple, handful of almonds and cashew and tea.
    Dinner - this was a chilli con carne or spaghetti bolognese which included enough for 3-4 meals and were in or around 1,000 calories or a bit more. What I included were 3 half peppers, 20 tomatoes, 1 white onion, 1 chilli, a tin of lentils, tin of red kidney beans if it was the chilli con carne or tin of chick peas if it was the other two, 400 grams of mince or 2 large chicken fillets, tin of whatever sauce that matched the dinner I was having as I was and still am too lazy to make my own sauce, 65 grams of brown rice and a 200 mls of full fat milk.
    Evening meal - on days I worked out, normally 2 eggs with 2 slice of wholegrain nutty brown bread or if I went to the cinema popcorn.

    No problem. I should have added that after a workout I would have gotten in a scoop & a half of a 2:1 carb:protein drink which helped to bump up the calories.

    I try to eat as least 3100, but will bumping up to 3500+ over winter. I don't track all the time, but if you comb back through my entries you can see what I ate. Last winter I was in 4000 - 5000 land.

    No diary me. Just try to stay close as I can on my protein fats and carbs...and most importantly staying under on my sugar goal. 4000-4300 currently bulking a day here.

    Lots of almonds, peanuts, tuna, crackers, and shakes for snacks

    I'm not trying to gain anymore but I was at 5800 before, and I drank a lot of no-added sugar juices, ate a lot of pasta, and made homemade pizza all the time! Trying to eat healthy with that many cal was pretty difficult for me, but I also stuck with higher cal vinaigrette dressings on salads and ate a lot of high-cal fruits and starchy veggies. Good luck!

    6k here but I don't usually log. I have tracked the amount though. I eat pretty much all high cal foods. Gallon of milk, pizza, pasta, burgers, fast food, meats, ice cream etc. Currently 194 trying to hit 210 for Powerlifting. But it's been a grind. I recomped from 160 a few months back.

    Currently maintaining on in or around 3,100 but will be bulking soon. First bulk I did I was on 4,000. Hopefully 2nd bulk wont be as high but I imagine it will be between 3,500 - 4,000
