Wow bro that would be a cutting diet for me.

 

[theoak01]

my maint intake is 2160 so I figured that would bulk me at almost 1000cals over maint.

I am also smaller at 5'6 183-185ish and 13% so I figure it will work

i didnt even read past meal 1...it is kinda skimpy man...im not even bulking and my meal 1 is 2 whole eggs, 5 whites, turkey bacon and a bagel

Maintenance is just an estimate and keep in mind your lifting and doing whatever else. Id say go for at least 3500

It could not hurt to start at 3000 then check the scale after a week or two, it will tell you if that is enough of not. I weight about the same as you, but 3000 a day would be just enough to keep my weight steady. When I was trying to lose weight I ate about 2500 a day and was losing a pound or two a week.

gallon of milk a day shoulud be standard

 

[ffknight84]

so little calories, so high nutrients, i eat about 3k a day and only get 200 pro 200 carb and 70 fat, give or take some here and there. When I start bulking I plan on atleast 5k a day. But i will be running atleast 2 miles a day to stay in good cardio shape.

Be sure to include some cobbs in the diet.

Cobbs are essential for providing fuel for training and recovery.

Cobb up!!!

 

[d3track]

i would start with that and if you don't gain start adding more, probably in the carb area

otherwise, a pretty good start, except for there are no veggies? I would definatly add in 2-3 servings of veggies to your day

 

[theoak01]

I realized no veggies either, in the past month I added 7lbs or so with a diet less than this,but I will def get up to 3500-4000 if I dont grow atleast 1lbs a week minimum. I also plan a fall cycle but have to get funds together first and more important a diet that will suffice.

as for the gallon of milk,that would be nice but I cant put on much fat and have to do cardio 3 times a week for testing in my college course

 

[STEP OFF]

more food! get back in the kitchen and post a new "bulking" diet. i would UP the protein a bit, shoot for 300g/day ... carbs are kinda low, UP the carbs, you'll notice an increase in energy in the gym. fat intake looks ok, get a bottle of FLAX OIL and take a tbsp or two in the morning. your last meal is ghetto, you'd like a slow-absorbing protein in there, like cottage cheese or even milk.

good luck bro. eat!

cut out the 2% milk (replace with skim), take out the chicken fingers (trans, deep fried shit) replace with chicken breast, and replace that potato with something else.... maybe pasta or whole grain rice...

just because your bulking doesnt mean you should add crappy foods to your diet. eat clean now... it will pay off in the long run.

 

[theoak01]

id be more than happy to cut out chicken fingers and other things that arent ideal but I am in college and dont have any options,I eat what is in the house and this is really all I can throw together, I did get my family to switch to skim milk but I can throw a protein shake in there for about 25 extra grams of protein,for carbs I can try to add a little bit of pasta in there but again it will go on what we have.

thanks again for the help guys

 

[collegiateLifter]

i'd bump up the protein a bit.... youve got about 1.5g/bw right now, but i'd push it up to 2g/bw

 

[louden_swain]

I like chicken fingers. . .especially with mashed potatoes gravy and texas toast.

Here in Oklahoma. . .chickan fangers lol.

 

[bigstve12]

texas toast is the greatest..i eat that shit like there's no tomorrow

 

[d3track]

texas toast?
is that when you make french toast in the bacon fat?

 

[theoak01]

texas toast is just thicker toast great shit,I may pick some up
