Hitting higher calorie targets requires strategic meal planning.For a 3000-4000 calorie bulk, focus on:
- Larger portions of lean protein and complex carbs at each meal.
- Including healthy fats with every meal.
- Adding calorie-dense snacks (nuts, seeds, nut butters, avocados).
- Consider liquid calories (smoothies with protein powder, oats, fruit, nut butter).
- Aim for 4-6 substantial meals per day.
