Meh, it’s still a job for sure.. Lantus for my size makes me hungrier at 18 IU’s and up. But even when my appetite is better, I still have to shove down twice as much as I want in a meal, and if I’m not feeling sick, I’ll throw down even more, something that’s not intimidating like whole milk and a few granola bars. Everyone can find something that will work for hardgainjng. For me, it’s peanut butter. It’s not that hard to watch tv at the end of a day, or work on my laptop for an hour, and spoon peanut butter. It doesn’t take a lot of effort, you don’t have to chew it, and I always know, as soon as I finish that jar, I’ve eaten another 2500 calories for that day. End of 2016, I realized very quickly that no person can get past 6 or 7000 calories eating clean food only. It was hard then and it’s hard now, bc I’ve had the same bullshyt put in my head that many have from fitness industry for years and years. There’s some days where I’m focused 100% on my full time job of eating because I want that size on me, and some days where I don’t want it bad enough and I half ass it, and the scale shows that every time the next morning. But every day I get up and put on a shirt for work, and it’s a little tighter, it motivates me to eat my ass off that day. It’s nuts how much food you can put down. I used to eat 2 6oz carbsmart yogurts mixed with another 6 oz Greek yogurt, yesterday I ate 50oz combined in one sitting. I was literally choking on yogurt. I’ve taken what I thought I could bulk with and doubled it. Vacations are out too until holidays are over. It’s literally impossible to eat enough on them.
