Buying Bulk, Being Bulk

This is the part where people usually hate me.

I’m thin. In fact, I’m mighty thin. I’ve got one of those crazy fast metabolisms that let you eat anything you want. I didn’t do anything to get it, so it’s nothing to be proud of. And it has drawbacks. It’s hard to get the weight on, especially as I’ve been doing more exercise and lifting weights.

I had a hard time keeping up with a vegetarian diet, and it’s more challenging with a vegan one. Between normal needs, offsetting the exercise, and adding a bit more to add bulk, I should apparently be getting around 3500 calories and at least 100g of protein a day. I can eat every time I’m hungry, and eat until I’m stuffed, and it’s hard to hit that every day.

My goal with my body is to eventually gain 15 quality pounds. The goal with food is to work with awesome, nutrition-rich, high calorie and protein meals, so I don’t have to eat 6 meals a day or rely too much on protein shakes and pre-packed stuff.
