just switch the tuna and chicken to red meat, eat a meal before bed instead of a shake and you'll be cool.

Well that sounds all good in theory bro, but i'd like to see you eat that every day....

For one i think your cals are too high
for two, at your weight you don't need that much protein, carbs and fat....bottom line....

At your weight you don't need anything over 3,000 cals a day.

a few things....first, the diet looks good, but you will never be able to keep that up over the long run...

second, how are you eating a meal @2pm, working out, and eating another meal by 345? Don't you let the tuna go down for a little while? How long are you at the gym?

third, it will be really expensive to keep buying optimum 100% whey, optimum complete, and designer time released.

That diet looks like a TON of work. How long are you planning on doing it? It looks tough to have a life around it. Good luck bro...you seem like you know what to eat though.

johnny auto parts - I planned on eating the tuna sandwich almost as another snack at 2:00, cause i get kinda hungry by then. I workout at 2:30 - 3:30 and have my postworkout shake as soon as I get home, around 3:45. Yeah, the protein powder seems like its going to cost a lot, but I don't know what to replace it with. I need whey after my workout, i need something slow-digesting at night (Designer's new protein claims it goes for 8 hours, i don't like cottage cheese), and I don't really have time to eat chicken, beef, or tuna in the morning, so I need a different source of protein.

gymrat123 - Lately I've been eating at least 2700. cal and not gaining anything, so I don't think 3000 cals would help me bulk up.

ok...you know your body better than we do

saying you don't have time to eat chicken beef or tuna is just not true. Prepapre those foods ahead of time, i.e., the night before. i can eat a chicken breast in less than a minitue...hehehe

 

[killa in manila]

if you want to bulk up i suggest you go with a ratio of 3:1
ex:90 grams of carbs,30grams of protein. right after your workout.
not chiken or any other solid food for it takes too long to digest!

you may also look into some methoxyisoflavone!
