I'm unsure if I should start a bulking progress, I'm quite tired of going to the gym and remaining small. Over this last year I feel like I've done a lot of progress in my body and got a lot better with my self esteem, yet it's like people hardly notice as I went from skinny fat to just skinny. For context I attached some pictures from around this time last year and from this week.
I basically started dieting, initially i was counting calories but that made me too paranoid about eating and as i already had a general idea of what I could eat in a day to be within 2000 calories I stopped counting. I basically cut on hidrates and sugary stuff and would mostly eat just lean meats like chicken and turkey and accompany them with salted veggies, most of my snacks were low sugar/low calorie stuff too. Also did a lot of cardio. I feel like I can't really diet more than this, as the food that i eat now was all that I could eat without feeling like i was hungry all the time and that I had no energy during my workouts.
Yet I'm unsure if i should start bulking because I don't know if I'm skinny enough, if that makes sense. I also feel like I don't even know how to bulk, dieting is easy as you just cut out certain foods but bulking seems more complicated. I already take protein, should I also start taking creatine? Are there certain foods that are recommended to gain mass? I'd love any advice you can give me.
