Ehhhh, it’s just not a good idea. It’s almost nothing about soda where you should add it to your diet as a building block.
No offense but that’s just not a good suggestion.

Time to go!!
So what you saying is
all I have to do is add anabolics to the equation and I’ll get desired muscles gains while on caloric maintenanceDoesn’t matter. Can’t throw out overall health and practicality for gains. Pretty much any type of liquid cals of that nature are providing enough of a benefit to be part of his (or anybody’s) nutrition.
I’m all for flexibility but this is like a hard no. Even the most bro YT guys drink diet soda at a maximum.

Smoking on a Cac Pack
1. Minimize/Eliminate all habits/consumption that will throw you off. Caffeine, Alcohol,Smoking,Overrtraining
2.i went from 165-205 eating just like you are and ended up putting on extra body fat because my cardio/plyo game wasn't intense enough. I had to cleanse myself back down to 180 and try diff "cleaner's meals. Got back up to 200 but I'm 6'1 and lean
3. Going up to 225 now and I want it to be clean high protein bulk so I'm eating mostly avocados, lentils, beans, quinoa, greens, herbs, sweet potatoes. Going to try eating olive/coconut oil too since calorie sense as well. All cheap, available in bulk and easy to cook. Just look up the calories per 1 cup of lentils+1 cup of beans+1 cup of quinoa. Alot of protein and clean carbs.
I just copped 100lbs of flax seed, 50lbs of chia, 50 lbs steel cut oats , 50 lbs sesame seed, 3lbs pumpkin seed, 7lbs quinoa, 2lb lentils + 10lbs or more of dried herbs.
Got enough clean food to feed the block for a week.
Slamming an avocado smoothie now and getting ready to make my lentil/quinoa/bean salads for lunch/dinner. Will post with portions later

Godzilla got busy.
The SSRI probably tanked your appetite. Substances that increase serotonin activity tend to do that.

You do not need to eat 3K calories at your weight/height.
Take your time and find out how many calories you actually need to eat.
Try 2500 for a month...and see if your lifts go up while doing so.
Lifts going up? Keep eating 2500 calories
Lifts stalling? Add 200 more calories and see if your lifts go up again.
Rinse and repeat.
im 6'1 175 and my maintenance is about 2500 calories...so no way in hell you need 3K to bulk.
I’ve been eating 2500 calories per day for years
I played football, baseball (13 years) ran track, cross country, soccer, etc.
My metabolism is out of control, and the amount of physical exercise I do outside of the gym is burning some calories.
You may be right though.
I’ll keep at it, but this 5-6 miles a day of walking will probably do something to these attempted gains
Two different things in regards to supporting your athletics and trying to build muscle. Also were you truly tracking calories for that many years?I’ve been eating 2500 calories per day for years

His bigger point is to build up and make sure that’s what you need. That’s the smarter move.
Reading back are you not hitting upper body and lower body at least two days a week every week?

Still...track your calories.
People lie to themselves about how much they eat...
fat people underestimate, skinny people overestimate.
If you dont like the 5 meal a day thing...eat a few meals w/ a ton of calories.
Thats personally how I like to eat (especially if I smoke at night).
A hamburger w/ 85/15 beef can easily be around 800+ calories.
Half a frozen Home Run Inn Pizza is like 1200 calories (watch the sodium).
How old are you OP
i read the thread title "3000 calories"
then saw you weigh 135
yeah eat more breh. i weighed 135 in the 5th grade
