> It always did feel like it was easier to gain weight than lose it, especially fat weight and not muscle weight for me.
It is the exact, polar opposite for me. I cannot gain even if I eat junk all day.

1000 calorie breakfast = bagel with cream cheese, 3 eggs, banana, some berries, protein shake. It’s a whole lot more than a bowl of cereal.
In college, I used to treat myself with a Hardee's sourdough Frisco burger because, for some reason, it was really damn good to me. Then I saw the calorie count: https://www.hardees.com/menu/charbroiled-burgers/hardees-fri...
Add on some fries, regular soda if that's your thing, and you are pretty much at the daily recommendation.
If you're trying to bulk, you need to be looking at 2500 or more calories a day, plus additional for any calories burned by exercise. (With a surplus of 1000/calories a day you'll be gaining more fat than muscle unless you're still in puberty. Sometimes that may be what you want.)
