I heard that I should be constantly eating something every 2 1/2 hours since I am trying to bulk up..getting in as many calories as I can.
If I have a breakfast that consists of 60 carbs...will it be okay to eat a protein bar that has 43g of carbs just 2 1/2 hours later...or is that too many carbs?

well supposedly you are supposed to eat more often, but not necessarily more. you would eat about the same amount but split it up throughout the day. as far as many calories as you can...no, thats not true, you should only be putting in what you can burn off in exercise.

Every 3 hours is best I have heard, and of course ALWAYS eat breakfast.
You're trying to bulk up... you mean build muscle?
Try the Body Fat Guide, it explains everything. i can highly recommend it!!!

you can, but I wouldn't force myself if not hungry. you should use macros of 40/40/20 and try to consume 2x your bodyweight in cals. so if you weigh 170 you want to shoot for 3400 cals a day. if you don't gain weight then, increase your cals by 10% each week until weight gain occurs...

If you are trying to bulk up (I'm not sure if you mean gain fat or muscle). Either way, for muscle you need protein, for fat, well....fat.
