I don't really use any ready made marinades (though I'm planning to experiment with some soon)

I prepare my own

Season salt
Olive oil
Red Pepper
Curry
Garlic

Mix it all together in a bowl, rub on chicken and let sit overnight (I will sometimes squeeze a lemon on the chicken as well)

That sounds pretty good

olive oil was always my go to ingredient for literally EVERYTHING i cooked, even growing up (my family exports olive oil from italy so you can imagine)... However at 120 cals / tablespoon, i was adding way too many calories to my daily intake.

I walked around whole foods yesterday and picked up a couple things that were like 50 cals per 2 tablespoon. I rarely ever marinate my food (besides simple salt, pepper and lemon) but Sometimes i need something to excite it up a little bit.

I bought these wraps that are like 50 cals... much more convenient to wrap up whatever I'm eating rather than plain, and 1 or 2 tbsp of some Very Very Terryaki really kicks up the taste. (Theres only so much mustard I can tolerate)
Very high in sodium, but I dont really care about a little extra water retention... plus I drink a soild 1.5 gals of water daily to offset.

is it bad that ive barely done cardio during my bulk? i start a cut after thanksgiving, so and i'll start doing cardio about 2-3 times a week, but i havent done any in at least a month, maybe two

It's winter man, focus on gaining the mass you want. If you get to fat, cut for three weeks and repeat bulk.

About 16oz of beef plus two strips of applewood smoked bacon and 2 slices of cheddar. Had a job interview in Alexandria and didn't know where to get lunch, so ima write this off as a cheat day

Good thing I ran/did abs yesterday

530 am -whey

7- pwo shake 2 scoops of whey 45g dextrose

745am 4 eggs, cup of oats

12pm ground turkey, cheese, two whole wheat wraps

Should I grab two mcribs before my plane takes off?

you're bulking, don't be a pvssy.

although I am bulking and would not touch that crap

I purposely dragged my ass into the gym on my off day yesterday because I knew I'd be away all day today, so today's my official cheat day. However I looked up the nutritional value of the mcrib and it's 24 fat/24 protein

The trick is to mix casein with much more water than you would use in your whey shake. I use 8-12 ounces of water for a normal whey shake, and no less than 16oz for a casein shake. This is for 2 scoops or about 50g of protein.
