My bulking calories right now are around 2500 with 175P/310C/60F. I'm doing a lean bulk so I'm keeping my calories fairly low but I'm going to increase then shortly because I'm not really gaining any weight now.

Hi, I added you. If you want to help rev your metabolism try reverse dieting. Take your current calories and add 50-100 calories to your daily calories per week (2000 this week, 2050 the next, 2100,...). I found this helped me kick my metabolism back into full-gear. Also try adding caffeine and spicy foods into your diet…

Hi, I am also a college student. I find it easy, and CHEAPER, to eat healthy. I usually buy a pack of chicken breasts (usually around $10), bake them in the oven and store them for the week. I also buy a huge thing of oats (usually $5 for a couple weeks) and eat those for breakfast. If you want to avoid all the junk, I'd…

Don't fixate over the number on the scale. There are a number of factors that come into play when you weigh yourself. Personally my weight can fluctuate up to 5 pounds. One example of this is when you eat a lot of sodium the day before, you will be holding more water weight. As long as your weight is slowly decreasing over…

If you are currently under-eating I'd suggest following what they call a reverse diet. Basically what you do is increase your daily calories by 50-100 each week until you start to gain weight. I did this and went from eating around 2000 calories, maintaining my weight, to 2400, still maintaining my weight. Over the course…

I would say as long are you are eating other foods too, you're fine. If you choose to get all of your protein from whey, make sure you eat vegetables to get your carbs and micronutrients too. Basically, if you are counting your calories correctly, it would be impossible to only live off of protein shakes because you would…

Don't worry about your daily weight, you'll loose the weight if you follow a clean diet. Personally, my weight has fluctuated by over 5lbs from one day. However, I drink 2 gallons of water every day so thats a big cause of that. Basically, weigh yourself every morning before you eat/drink anything. I would also suggest…

Plain greek yogurt. My favorite meal after a workout is 2 cans of tuna and 1 cup of 2x protein greek yogurt. It's around 400 calories and around 75g protein

Just something to keep in mind

I'd consider thinking how you want to feel down the road. It's easy to give in and eat that cookie right after dinner, but it's better to have some self-discipline and benefit your body in the long run. Your body is always changing and it's outcome, whether it's positive(lose weight) or negative(gain weight), depends on…

It's awesome to hear that you're changing to a healthy lifestyle. I'd suggest drinking at least a gallon of water a day. I did that and I'm up to 2 gallons a day. It really helps keep me full when I'm not eating. However, when I am in need of a snack (late at night) I go to the freezer and get some frozen fruit, mainly…
