Help plz
180lb, male 34.
I have been trying to gain weight in a clean fashion. I lift 5 days a week, really focused on bringing the weight down and doing controlled reps 10-15.
I am logging foods on macrofactor - really trying to have a limited use of bread, and focusing my calories with whey, oats, rice, bison, chicken, cream of rice and some fruit. I do tend to add some olive oil based butter and bread into the diet or an uncrushable once a day to bring the calories up. Im eating around 2900-3k daily and still have not gained a pound in the last 2 weeks or so.
Im pretty much full all of the time. My thought is incorporating some more calorie dense, not as clean foods in to up the calories - maybe a beef sandwich here or there or some peanut butter sandwiches. Im torn between clean bulking and if it fits the macros argument. Any advice is appreciated!
