I read MrX's articles about bulking and came up with this:
Training days:
7:00 - 3 whole eggs, 1/2 cup oatmeal, 20oz milk with 2 scoops whey
10:30 - protein bar
12:30 - chicken nuggets, milk
3:30 - 2 scoops whey with 8oz grape juice
3:40 - workout
4:40 - 2 scoops whey with 8oz grape juice
5:30 - chicken breast, 1/2 cup oatmeal, brocolli, 20 oz milk
7:30 - chicken breast, brocolli
8:30 - cup cottage cheese
9:30 - cup cottage cheese
breakdown according to fitday.com:
Calories: 3108
Protein: 352
Carbs: 253
Fat: 75
Nontraining days:
breakdown:
Calories: 1728
Protein: 163
Carbs: 161
Fat: 49
7:00 - 1/2 cup oatmeal, 2 whole eggs, 20oz milk w/ 1 scoop whey
10:30 - protein bar
12:30 - chicken nuggets, milk
4:00 - chicken breast, brocolli, 1/2 cup oatmeal
6:00 - 1/2 cup cottage cheese
8:00 - 1/2 cup cottage cheese
My starting weight is 170lbs, not sure about bodyfat, i'm around 6ft so it's not too high.
My goal is to be around 180-185lbs+ in 2-3 months. Then for 2 months I want to cut down to a low bodyfat, around 5% (even if that's 170lbs) and then I just want to maintain the low bodyfat and possible add lean mass.. then in the winter i'll go all out bulk.
Does this sound like a good diet for now? Muscle gains, minimal fat gains?
When I cut i'm a little confused... about cardio on empty stomach (some say it'll make you loose too much muscle) and what to eat, anyone suggest some articles?
thanks
