I'm about to start my first bulk; recommendations needed on meals & diet.

Should take care of your protein reqs

Don't.

Just eat a frick ton of clean food and minimal simple carbs. Its a long process. Getting fat and cutting down isn't a shortcut to shredding; it's hitting the reset button every summer.

I used to do this yearly. Now I just try my best to stay lean give or take a few pounds during the holidays and consistently make progress throughout the year.

drink lots of beer. potent anabolic right there.

No sups, just eat whatever the hell gets you to your caloric goal. Count your carbs/fats/protein (macros) if you really want to be anal about it. Cleaner food will obviously give you slower (less fat storage) but better results size wize. I am not that clean, but I don't eat too bad.

In order to gain weight, one needs to eat at a caloric surplus. Once I get to my optimal weight, I'll just eat & workout at maintenance.

I'm looking for meals that are cheap, easy and quick to prepare, taste good, and don't get old after a while.

I am not bulking but actually trying to shed weight. Started by trying to keep carbs to 125 a day and very few at dinner and after. It is so difficult to find healthy meals so I am looking for ideas as well.

Go to Costco and get the whole turkey breast (not sliced) and the rotisserie chicken breast chopped up. Get egg whites at Costco in bulk. Get yellow mustard. Get cans of tuna and salsa. Get frozen bags of spinach and mixed peppers. Go to whole foods and get 95/5 ground beef along with a tad fattier buffalo. Get packs of boneless skinless chicken Breasts and brine them in sea salt. Also start taking amino acids - the big fricking horse pill ones (see Optimum Nutrition) and take 10 before you train. Take 10'Grams of Now Arginie powder before bed every night and CALM. Do not count veggies in your macros as carbs rather make a huge pot of white rice and refrigerate to allow for resistant starch.'Lise the rice for macros along with adding oatmeal and grade B molasses post workout. Backstrap molasses even better. Have fun and train smart and go heavy compound movements

If you were a real man you'd have a freezer full of deer meat this time of year. It's the ultimate food and there's endless options for cooking it
