        I guess it matters how heavy you already are but 3 meals a day isn’t enough for me to hit 100KG. Nuts is something I do need to eat more often.

          Just gotta up the calories per meal, other than the meal right before the gym in the morning, they’re always 1000+kcal for me.

          I tried meal prepping and eating less per meal, but more often, but it just takes too much time out of the day personally.

          100kg is quite the bulk though, what’s your starting point?

          Nuts is something I do need to eat more often.

          Unsalted cashew nuts is my personal go to.

            I’m at 97KG right now and I started at 93KG but my starting weight was all fat (45%+) and zero muscle whereas now, I’m 4 months into a 5 day workout with weights so I’m reversing those numbers and trying to eat lean while getting to 100KG with half the amount of fat but I’m still around 35% but also 4KG heavier so I just need patience as I think what I’m doing is working.
