Bulking up with calories

[branAdon]

I'm currently doing around 2,500 to 3000 calories a day. I want to up my calories a little bit should I up them to 3000 to 3500 if I want to bulk up?
I currently weigh 172 lb and I would like to get up to 185 pounds in the next couple months
if yes then what are some foods I should be throwing into my diet I feel like I'm already eating a lot

Good clean food choices. Lean protein sources. Veggies and clean carbs like rice, oatmeal and sweet potatoes.

You can increase to 3500 calories to bulk up but you need to increase protein and fats.
More protein shakes and more peanut butter in them.

the worst thing you can do is try and hit calorie numbers. that is where people eat shit food and screw up

 

[JasonPriest]

bulking up you need high high protein at least 300-400 grams so add more

Bulking up is a protein question not a calorie question

high protein is bulk

Add some good fats - olive, coconut, flaxseeds etc

First set the number - so it's not somewhere between the two numbers but fixed.

Up to 3500 but only up your fats and protein.

I don't count calories so if you need to eat more to gain just eat more good quality clean foods.
