Good luck getting fat eating lean meats and not eating grains and dairy though
eating too much makes you fat, not grains and dairy.

Correct, but that misses the point entirely
No it doesn't.

I don't know why I have to spell this out so much
You need to eat a lot in this position but not too much. You need to develop the ability to eat food. If you can't figure out why processed grains and dairy, sugars etc are a poor choice then you have little hope.
People have such a problem with eating clean on this forum, it's very funny. Good luck overeating if you do not eat these foods, you'll grow very rapidly with little fat gain. If you want to cheat then fine, cheat but you're just kidding yourself. Once a week is going to be fine for many people but even myself I have started limiting this to once every 10 days and cutting out all dairy and sugars on these cheats.
thank you
Yeah, @0ni; I do know a "little bit" about having to get used to eating more
Probably more than most given I have almost tripled my kcal intake in the past 18 months or less.
Eating a modest surplus and training hard and consistently is the foundation to success in this instance.
For a newb, it's actually possible to lose a bit of fat while gaining muscle too ... although obviously the ability to do so declines later.
There is no magic combo of foods.
Edit: correction .. yes there is. Bacon, maple, banana and peanut butter is magical.
Interesting comments here.
Has anyone got experience with muscle chef type of companies that deliver prepacked meals to your door? There's one that does deliveries to Perth (not sure if I can name companies in here). Are they worthwhile whilst you are learning about nutrition?
Prices seems reasonable given the cost of shopping these days.
I think to an extent as well Viv, you overestimate just how "unhealthy" your diet is.
I believe you started from pretty skinny as well, when you're fat with no muscle mass you can get away with far less. If you posted up your macros and calories it would most likely support what I am saying. I think taking your body weight in pounds and eating that in grams of fat a day with double this in carbs would be very, very bad.
You're very right, small surplus and hard training. This fella will be used to eating whatever though, 250g of camembert is hardly a snack lol, goes down very easy and won't fill you up. I just think you're better off getting those 750kcal from a half chicken- and you're getting more protein and far superior nutrient profile to boot
You only have so many calories you can eat... make them count imo
