Food for bulk up...

Define "processed"...
It's not put together the same way spam, hot dogs or chicken nuggets are. It is a straight cut of hog meat.
I do agree with it being bad, I don't think it is a processed meat.
OK..just thought I'd unload my opinion here....I think for the "most" part it's ok to have some things that are "less than optimal" nutritionally speaking from time to time...again the key is once in a while. If he likes bacon...sure a little on the weekend for brunch is fine now and then...if it's a staple of his diet...than HELL NO!
One additional thing....Canadian Back Bacon is actually quite low in fat...I think like 5% maybe...not sure but it's pretty lean. As Jodi said though...it's ALL high in sodium...if this is an issue. Also...'m not sure but I would guess that it's Biological Value (BV) is likely on the lower end of the scale. Given the alternative...try eggs or I would suggest as a treat...even some lean ham (not the deli style though)....mmmmmm

How about steak wrapped in bacon

Yep. My dad does a grilled one. Injects it with lots of seasoning, wraps it 3 times with foil then puts it on the pit for about 2.5 hrs. It comes out near falling apart.
Talk about good.

Doesn't matter to me as long as it's a good quality,leaner type bacon.
I don't care about my sodium intake,but that's just me.
I've had too many of those scary dates lately too!

If this post is about bulking...
I assume bulking is about putting on muscle...
Eat lots of protein. If you get sick of protein from healthy sources, eat bacon till you puke. It wont hurt your muscle gain, thats for sure.
If you are serious about bulking, you will want lots of carbs too. The energy to workout from high GI carbs will help you with the intensity you need to maximize your workouts. High GI foods also increase your amino acid uptake and are very beneficial for muscle growth.
Downside? Well, those same high GI carbs will also keep the excess fat around too. Not to mention the health risks of diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.. I'm not saying this is a healthy way to eat...far from it. But if your primary unadulterated concern is bulking up, then it is the way to go.

I have a friend who is 42 and used to train with a pro body builder.( ex Mr Europe), he told me to follow this plan. (bulking):
Meal 1: Six Shredded Wheat with full fat milk.
Meal 2: eight rashers of bacon, four eggs, one tomato, and cheese (In an omelette)
Meal 3 : Chicken and sweet potato
Meal 4: Pasta Carbonara, Sausages and Mash, Lasagne etc
Meal 5: Tuna and cheese Sandwich
Meal 6: (Before bed),Protein tablets and a large glass of water
Drink: Juice, milk, water, Coffee

Unless your really skinny and have a crazy metabolism, most of us can stick to eating clean when bulking, just more of it. Otherwise if your eating pizza and bacon day in and day out, your going to be adding 75% fat and not a whole lot of beef. I can gain something like 3/4 pound a day by eating pizza and drinking cranberry juice mixed in with the rest of my food, not eating pizza all day.
At the moment I am having:
Meal 1: Cereal with full fat milk and a vitamin tablet * Hour later protein tablet
Meal 2: two rashers of bacon scrambled eggs and two pieces of butters granary bread
Meal 3: Two rashers of bacon and two fried eggs
Meal 4: Canteen food or chicken breast with salad
Meal 5: Same
Meal 6 : Protein tablets and water

my metabolism is pretty fast, I can burn of calories so damn quickly
That bulking plan is horrid...
Maybe back when he was Mr.Europe lifters turned into massive sloths by adding 2 lbs of fat for every lb of muscle before they cut, but I think that sacrificing your health to attain size is not sound advice.
Just because i advocate eating less healthy sources of protein occasionally (when the healthy protein sources make you ill to look at) does not mean i advocate two servings of cheese and one massive serving of bacon every day!

I agree,but serious bodybuilders don't usually care
Being north of 300 pounds isn't healthy, no matter how ripped you are. Eventually it just becomes more strain on the heart. If we were serious longevity freaks trying to hit 120 years of age, we wouldn't be bulking at all.
Bulking/cutting/bulking/cutting alone is unhealthy for the heart. Competitive pro bodybuilders are living in the here and now, I really dont think they care about long term health THAT MUCH but I'm sure it depends. Titus doesn't ever want to become that big as an example, not that I'm a fan of his.
