how many of you use it for putting on mass? i have to say the BK Quad Stacker is the greatest bulk food known to man.
its got 4 1/4 pound beef patties, 4 slices of cheese, and bacon. i usually get 3 of them when i hit up BK and the bag feels heavy enough to do tricep kickbacks with haha.
This looks like something I would read on bodybuilding.com. Everytime I read these forums there are more “bodybuilding.com threads”. If you’ve ever been there you know what I mean. Next there will be 16 threads on best NO product.
I like to eat lean steak, chicken, salmon, cheese, greens, oatmeal, fruits, and nuts while bulking. But that is just me.

Is that supposed to be a joke?
If you want to eat something that tastes like shit to begin with, and your only goal is to put on about 95% fat, then sure…it’s the greatest bulk food known to man.
I used to eat fast food fairly often when I was younger (maybe 5-7 years ago), but I quickly realized how unhealthy it was and that it really didn’t taste that great. About the only “fast food” I will eat now is a chipotle burrito or subway.

I haven’t had the quad stacker yet, only the double stacker.
Speaking of Burger King if you haven’t tried their dutch apple pies do so, they’re awesome too. Aside from BK, the only other place(s) I go out to are Chinese buffets.
I actually get a lot of chinese food and sushi after lifting. Lots of carbs and protein at a reasonable ratio and I love sushi. I make a lot of my own asian dishes at home, rice w/beef, fish, sauces, ginger, very tasty and a great PWO meal.
Funny the naysayers profiles list their bodyfat as too high and weight too low, or no description at all.
Real life experience beats parroting authors.
I doubt this is 100% of this guys diet.
This thread is gonna turn into another argument. Professor X probably won’t show because he’s debated this subject to death.
I’m sure all the biggest guys in the world stuck to just chicken, broccoli, and brown rice.
Lighten up.
Higgins, have you ever really bulked? I mean, I watched you v-diet thread which you did well. But I doubt you’ve really eve gone on a “bulk”. You are more likely a guy like me who ate whatever he wanted and ended up overweight, and now is successfully getting rid of the excess lard.
Not trying to call you out, just putting out that you are basically saying, theoretically, what you would do.
Just trying to exemplify that people should dole out information based on a mixture of experience and knowledge. Not just what the article library tells you.

I “bulked”, to use the term lightly, for 3 weeks during the transition between v-diet 2 and 3 to try to get a feel for it. Extensive experience no, but I have felt the pump so to speak.
For the most part I would agree that I am like you though. Feel free to put me my place when needed, from all the progress you’ve made, you’ve earned it.
I dont deserve or want to put any one in their place but thankyou.
Its just that more and more and more there is too much article parroting on here.
I don’t advocate eating a bunch of shitty food all the time. And I would mostly agree with bulking on the kinds of things you mentioned, its just that I do believe there is a time and place for dirty calories. It just cant be over done, which is beyond the scope of this conversation. Too many people just started shitting on this guy cuz he dared grab some cheeseburgers.
As an aside, I will reiterate that I am not attacking and certainly think you are a hard worker and making good progress as indicated by your thread. I just want to express my thoughts.
3 quad stackers seems a bit excessive. But yes I have definitely used fast food for mass… to my advantage. Mcdonalds 2 single cheeseburgers and large fries for me, on the occasional weekend.
No, but I would tell you to go to safeway, where for the same amount of money you could buy more ground beef and cheese and eat that, and not have to worry about all the various chemicals and god knows what shit they put in their garbage that also happens to tastes like shit, too.
Mcdonalds is awful but three stackers is a TON of food, like three pounds in just patties. I would probably pass out or puke from all that.
I’m a fan of lions choice, their fries…yummy
I eat 4500 cals/day and no where is there that junk shit of food from BK or other fast food places.
Eating that stuff in the name of “bulking” is a cop out for those that are to weak to do it a better way.
And to getswole, while you make a good point, one could make such an item at home with a better healthier nutritional profile and better quality meat.
That and supporting fast food companies is not my cup of tea.
To each their own, I’ll stick to my homemade buffalo burgers.
yes its fine I don’t think its great for beginner but as you begin to hold a lot of mass you need the calories.

Hey guy, you’re not in a position to determine the hilarity of anybody’s body comp. Nor are you in the position to talk down to anyone. I have more real life experience than you do. When you’re down in Iraq and have to build barbells and dumbells out of T-62 parts, maybe you’ll come close to my real world, ok. And why are you turning this thread into an argument? And where the fuck do you get the idea I eat just chicken broccoli, and brown rice?
I wouldn’t make it a staple, but if you’re having trouble bulking, I say go for it every once in a while.
If for no other reason, three stackers in one meal will probably deter you from eating fast food for a few months, at least.
That said, I just finished a chicken stir-fry. It was healthful, sure, but I’m still hungry. Where are the burgers?

A: Sorry your in Iraq or were in Iraq, but that has absolutely nothing to do with this conversation.
B: You may very well have real world experience, but all you said is you built dumbbells in Iraq, so I don’t know what that has to do with the proper way to bulk.
C: I’m not turning this thread into an argument, if anything it was those who attack the original poster. He asked what fast foods people liked while they bulked and started to get assaulted.
D: I do not deem anyones physique “hilarious”. The point in mentioning it is, most of the guys with large, well developed physiques around here won’t tell you that you can never have a fucking cheeseburger while you bulk. Some will even tell you that it might be a GOOD idea on occasion. I never said every day, and I seriously doubt the OP eats this every day.
It is usually less developed guys who say don’t do this or that, thus the comment about getting real world experience, as it pertains to weightlifting a bulking. Military or engineering might be life experience, but its got shit to do with bulking and weightlifting, I say that because thats all you really told me. You didn’t tell me about some amazing transformation you’ve made or how long you’ve been seriously training so I have nothing else to go by.
and finally, E: Chicken, broccoli, and rice, was a metaphor for eating clean, it was not directly intended for you nor for anyone. It meant that eating clean (i.e. chicken, broccoli, and rice) isn’t necessary 100% of the time.
If you don’t want to turn this thread into an argument, leave your fuckin’ attitude at the door.
Orange chicken FTW!
Plus a nice heaping pile of lo mein always hits the spot for me.
Do you eat fast food because you find it’s the best way to pack on calories, or because of convenience? Personally, I think imitating fast food recipes with home cooking rivals the calorie content while delivering vastly superior taste.
