Considerations
>Prep time
Powders or raw milk are easier. Actual food is more difficult.
>Goals
Milk is good for outright bulking. Something like chicken, tuna, or EAS would be good for lean bulk or cutting.
I just used a few different items that people are familiar with and some powders that are fairly popular.
Some of you might already be employing some of these formulas.
If anyone has a food suggestion that they think will rank well, or horribly, post it.

im a skinny fag and need to bulk up and haven't really started doing any drastic workouts yet, should I just get normal whey protein? I was looking at this one but im not sure

No, senpai. For bulking you want a high calorie per dollar.
Other than raw flour, I would recommend
Mutant mass from amazon
>Cpd of 388
However, it has an abysmal Ppd of 19.04
Or
Optimum nutrition Serious Mass (12lb bag from amazon) which has the best Cpd that I've seen.
>Cpd of 416.84
Obviously you can't have it all with a protein powder. Thus one has a terrible Ppd of 16.67.
More than powders though, GOMAD is a thing for a reason.
It has a cpd of 771. That's almost double the best protein supp that I've looked into. (I'm sure there are better.). The thing is, you're going to have trouble staying lean, and it full of exogenous hormones. Some people think they don't affect you, but that seems foolish-despite what research groups with vested interests may say.

theres nothing more beneficial in that to justify its price point over regular whey concentrate whey isolate blend
