15 Foods That Will Get You Jacked

Obviously gaining weight involves taking in more calories than you are burning. Some people like eating clean, personally I like eating dirtier, and found that it was far simpler to eat so called “dirty” foods and get big. Every time I’ve bulked it hasn’t involved the cleanest of food sources. Here are some of the foods to use:

Milk- If you can handle it, a gallon of while milk packs 128 grams of protein, a ton of fat, and a ton of carbs, and 2400 calories. Cost $2-3, drink a gallon daily, and you have half your nutrition requirements.
Ground Beef- High In Protein and Fat, you’ll get ballpark 1300 calories and 70 grams of protein in the fattiest, cheapest cut per lb. A solid meal is an entire pound mixed with cheese, and rice( if you want the carbs).
Eggs- can be consumed in 1000 manners, my favorites being fried in copious amounts or drank raw as part of a shake.
Top Ramen- just shy of 2400 calories for $1, lots of carbs, some fat, 60 grams of protein. Quick to make, you may want to toss the flavor packets though.
Rice- I prefer white over brown, I stomach it better, similar in cost to ramen, but healthier, and can’t be consumed in as high quantities( less calorically dense). I’ll mix this with cheese, ground beef, eggs, peas. Basically as the carb base for a meal. If I can’t stomach anything a bowl of white rice mixed with Mexican mix cheese is my go to.
Chicken- fattier cuts, just as high in protein, are cheaper, and taste better than breast meat. You have no idea how unlikely it is for me to want chicken breast.
Frozen Pizza- Lots of calories, generally around 70 grams of protein here. The laziest way to eat 5000 calories, without it being too terrible is a gallon of milk and a frozen pizza.
Peanut Butter- by the spoonful, as part of a shake, or as part of a sandwich. Cheap and easy, there’s a reason we grow up eating it.
Shakes- Not your lame whey in water shake, but a blended mix of everything but the kitchen sink. Milk and/or eggs as the base, peanut butter, bananas, olive oil(yes I’ve drank it in shakes), oats. Anything that sounds good to you and passes the will it blend test. Have fun here.
Soda- Need calories, and have a hard time eating? Drinking them is your friend, like it is with milk or a nutritional shake. While soda is straight sugar, and has no nutritional value, we’re here just for the calories. It’s not hard to drink a 2 liter, and it’s an extra ~800 calories if you do.
Oats- Already mentioned as part of shakes, but they can be eaten as oatmeal, or raw mixed in with fried eggs(before you fry it). Very versatile, and a very “Clean” food.
Junk Food- Too many options to name one in specific, they are an easy way to get calories in. Often cheap, and somewhat addicting a sweat tooth can make it much easier to pack in calories. For example a 6 pack of Honey Buns is roughly 1200 calories. That can be demolished in a minute. It’s not hard to eat a bag of Doritos, a dozen donuts, or really any junk food for that matter. If you’re trying to get bigger they can be a godsend. Don’t worry about the fact you’re eating the whole pack, that’s the goal here.
Mozzarella sticks- like the frozen pizza, similar in calories, and slightly higher in protein, they’ve been a staple for me as of late.
Any Food You Love/Works For You- If you like it, and it can be eaten in copious quantities have at it.
Canned Tuna- due to the vagueness of #14 this makes at least my list. I personally love it. I will eat as much as I can get my hands on to the disgust of most around me. Haven’t died of mercury poisoning yet.

Conclusion

Now you don’t have to treat my list as the be all and end all of bulking food choices. I put #14 Any Food You Love/Works For You there for a reason. You have to find what works for you. Some foods I list may disgust you(tuna), be overpriced ( eggs, they highly vary in cost by locale), or you may not be of European descent and would shit yourself if you drink milk. Do what works for you.
