Hey guys, I'm currently trying to bulk but I'm struggling with the sheer volume of food I'm needing to eat. I have to walk around 10 miles a night at work, and I'm doing every other day weights at home (nearest gym is an hour round trip, and on top of a 12 hour shift that's not happening). Maintainance for me is already in the 2600 area. I'm getting in 130g of protein a day, but I'm struggling to up my calorie intake to 2900 in a clean way. Does anyone know of some calorie dense carbs I can add in? Preferably stuff I can take into work.

I think I've mentioned before, but just in case: I work security. I only came out at work last summer, I'm not on T yet. Most of my colleagues are 40+ blokes. And honestly? God bless these fellas. I'm getting "Bud" and "Son" from them regularly. We were chatting gym sessions the other day and one of them was happily telling me how the excercise would help keep my testosterone up as I got into my 50's. I don't think any of them realise how much the acceptance means, but I'm so thankful for them.

I just wanted those of you worried about coming out to know what it's been like for me - largely because this kind of environment is exactly the sort people would very much worry about. Things here in the UK are pretty terrible for transfolxs rn and yet every day on shift these guys give me hope in humanity.
