My pockets hate me for bulking

Options
Hey guys! I’m an on and off bulker been trying to gain weight for a while but never really realized how much it cost to continuously eat. I’m used to only eating every now and then so bulking sometimes feels like a chore. I’m 5”8 and just got to around 140 pounds from 126/130. I try to average 3000-4000 calories a day but then run out of food 🤣 how do y’all combat cost of bulking without having to eat the same boring food

    Toast with peanut butter and jelly (or jam if you’re uk). Tasty, lots of calories, pretty good nutritionally too.

    Porridge for breakie too. I throw nuts and dried fruit in there. That’s a surprising amount of protein.

    Honestly, I quite enjoy eating like that.

    Easy. I eat the same boring food! :smiley: I understand that's not for everyone though.

    Oils and nut butters are pretty cheap here in the US, especially peanut, and very calorie dense, so that's one option.
