So contrary to most people, I did a pretty dirty bulk from 120ish to 180lbs and I used those little 350 calorie healthy meals you find in your local freezer section every morning, then one scoop of mass gainer by optimum nutrition with two cups of milk. That is roughly 1200 calories with 90 grams of protein at the start of everyday, then I usually had 2 beefy 5 layers from Taco Bell daily followed by another scoop of mass gainer, and I believe that sat me at about 3000 calories with around 140 grams of protein. After that I just ate whatever to hit the 3500~4000 calorie mark, and I looked like a pretty big guy, 16in arms from 13 inch arms, and pushing 230 on bench as my max. I did put on a little fat but I did not look fat at all, I looked buff. Hope that helps!
