Going off the "To Be A Beast" article I am following case #2. I was at 192 and cut down to 180 now I want to pack weight on more appropriately. I've come to the realization I can't eat healthy and gain weight without counting calories, so I present to you, my diet. Any suggestions? Thank You.

Looks fine unless you were eating less than 3200kCal before in which case this is probably too big of a jump in calories initially.

Okay the first week didn't go great. I ate what was in my diet but I was just struggling to get it all down. I was even waking up earlier and staying up later trying to cram it in. I'm going to give it another go this week but instead try to take more food to work this week to eat more consistently throughout the day. All is well as I still ate much better than usual. Is it common to eat 3 pop tarts a day, every day? Trying to add up 500g of carbs was a challenge. LOL

I guess it depends on what circles you run in, haha.
