I agree with the protein shakes, you can also throw in some clear protein like oath it’s perfect for summer time and gives you a break from the whey flavor

It really is just eat and sleep more than you usually. Personally I like to cook with butter, rather than cooking oils, when I can while I'm bulking.

If you want 20 pounds of muscle, keep training hard and eating protein. If you want 20 pounds of fat, eat junk food

Whey Protein paired with slower digesting protein (casein protein powder, beef, chickenc fish, soy) and fat. Quality peanut butter is a great source of healthy fat, electrolytes, and slower-digesting plant protien. Make sure to pick a protein powder with good purity/safety documentation- lead contamination is real and on the rise, sadly. Plant powders are often contaminated, I got a bad batch in 2024 that caused some nasty issues. I'm ok now, but I learned a valuable lesson.

For bulking I do 2 scoops of a banana flavor with a packet of oats some honey milk and if your not allergic to nuts peanut butter for cutting I do one scoop of berry flavor with frozen berries and milk
