Bulking doesn't have to be a dirty bulk where you eat hamburger helper 5x a day. Eat lots of grass-fed meat and wild-caught fish. Stock up on fish oil supplements. Eat at a moderate surplus rather than going full bloatmaxx. Take it easy and don't hesitate to cut if your bf% is getting a bit high.

Did you fast before your blood test OP?

Do you have the numbers for your LDL, HDL and triglycerides? High LDL cholesterol is not a strong indicator of negative health. What is an important indicator is triglycerides/HDL ratio. Also, if you’re eating high saturated fat foods you will temporarily have increased cholesterol. If you stop eating it for a week before your blood test your numbers will be normal.

Cholesterol is not really something you should worry about. Eat meat, eggs, cheese all you want- just eat vegetables and fruits too. If you’re eating processed carbs you should cut that shit out.

I’ve seen total vegetarian body builders. You need a more balanced diet. Besides your body can only absorb so many grams (23-25 gr) of protein over the course of so many hours. Better to break it up into 5-6 smaller meals. Just FYI I’ve been a personal trainer for the better part of 20yrs and I’ve seen a lot of fads as well as what works and what doesn’t - without steroids of course.

How much meat do you eat? I eat 250-500g a day along with alot of dairy (1kg+, mostly quark) and I have never had problems with my cholestorol.

Eat more eggs and higher fat in general. High LDL cholesterol is caused by processed foods, mainly sugar. Do OMAD and regular fasts

Do cardio for your cholesterol. Also eat high fiber. That should be enough.
