You still need more protien. Have you calculated your protien? I bet it’s pretty low.
Im a fan of milk for bulking. I’ve used ice cream as a milk shake with eggs added. I just can’t drink milk all the time anymore or I fart the house clean, lol.
nothing wrong with pasta either, but how much meat protien are you getting from the sauce.
Look at labels, start calculating your protien. Get it to 300 grams. Then work out his many calories the protien is, minus that from 3500 and you fill that in with the other stuff. You can bulk on cookies if you eat enough protien first.
I know you won’t need more than 3500 cal, I would bet you don’t do a labour job, or something burning a ton of calories.
I don’t think you understand how mentally taxing cutting is. It is by far the hardest thing you will do, and drugs will only help, unless you start eating 100 mg of ephedrine a day, you will still need to fix your diet. Don’t use 100 mg off ephedrine if you like your heart, lol.
Im not on your case, just helping out. If you want to use the advice, that’s fine, if not, I have nothing to lose or gain by this.
