Steak, fish, eggs, chicken, oats, rice, pasta, veggies, oils, seeds, nuts. Lots of them. There are plenty of threads about eating at work/school. Search for them.

If your trying to bulk then I would suggest around 5,000 calories a day. I would suggest drinking about a gallon of milk a day, whole milk, which has 2,400 calories already. Eating clean is good, but if you need to get the calories in then have a burger or two. You won't get big and strong eating only 2,000 calories a day.

I was in high school not too long ago, bud. I caught shit all the time because I carried a big ass igloo cooler around. I don't know if you have free periods or study halls, but I was able to sneak in 3 meals during school. Eat big in the morning (I always went with 6-8 eggs and 1-1.5 cups of oats). Then, in between morning meal and lunch I'd slam a shake with ground oats in it (by means of a coffee grinder). For lunch, I'd eat yams and ground beef with some greens most of the time, and if I started to notice too much fat, I'd switch to chicken for a minute. I had a free period between lunch and the end of the day, so there I'd eat a can of tuna in oil with some frank's red hot and a granola bar and natty peanut butter or something to keep my stomach full. At the end of the day, I'd take my pre-workout supps (may I suggest Animal Pump/Shock Therapy? haha). Do what you have to do, and sorry for the novel. P.S. I went from a skinny 160 to a solid 215 between sophomore summer and the end of senior year. Keep hitting it hard. Remember, it's a personal commitment. It's probable that no one else in your school will understand. They don't need to. Peace.

Just remember young jedi, this is not something you can achieve success at by taking a day off or a week off. If you are truly serious about this, know that you must research and experience countless trial and error to figure out what works for you.
This is lived everyday 24-7, it must become your lifestyle or you will fail.
Want some motivation? How about every hot girl at your school looking back at you twice because you are swollen and every other guy there has cigarette arms!
Get to work!! Post weekly successes and problems you're having.
