I’m trying to bulk up to about 230, I’m currently at 205…
my diet , I just realized, is about 50% protein, 25% carbs, 25% protein…yesterday I had about 4200 cals (I’m aiming higher than that) and my total carb intake was 240 total grams, 90-100 of which were from milk.
I don’t have the time to cook pasta, rice, etc, and I don’t really think I’d like eating a ton of it anyway.
Would Isomass Xtreme Gainer be a good source of complex carbs for me, or is there another way I can get these carbs in? I know some gain off of 200-250, but for me it’s just not enough, especially when I’m working out once, sometimes twice per day.
Surely you have time to boil some pasta for 10-15 minutes at some point during the week. My advice is to try cooking large quantities so you have enough for a few days. Put portions in sealable containers and they last a few days in the fridge. If you are struggling to bulk and wont get your carbs from other sources then I think the weight gainer would be a good idea. Also what about wholemeal or rye bread. That way you dont have to worry about time constraints to cook.
Cook a huge batch of rice one day out the week. Boil some potatoes and mash them(by themselves). add oats milk, protein to a blender fast cheap HEALTHIER meal replacement.

X2 on the bread. If you’re trying to bulk, wheat bread isn’t so bad a carb source.
Neither are PBJ sandwiches (although those do take some time to make…).
