Answer 1

just do it the natural way - fried sliced potatoes and pot pies (I prefer beef)

Answer 2

you don't have the time to eat properly? or you won't make the time to eat properly? you don't build a house on sand, you build a house on a strong foundation, you don't build a strong healthy body with crappy food and a 5min workout.  You build a strong healthy body with a varied challenging workout which pushes you to the very limit and a balanced nutritious diet with lean meat and lots of healthy fresh vegetables and fruit, etc.  If you do those simple things then you will not need supplements at all.

Answer 3

You have to make time instead of excuses. Bulking up is done with a healthy diet and good rest. If you prepare your meals the night before and carry a cooler with you everywhere you go, time is not an issue. You'll only need an hour or so a few times a week to actually work out. Prepping your meals is the key. You've got the diet from your trainer, now just figure out a way to make it happen instead of figuring out reasons why it doesn't.
