Stay away from too much cardio if you're bulking..........as far as your diet goes your calorie intake is too low even at 148lbs. Use a bmr calculator to calculate your daily calorie needs and add 500 to that. Take the oatmeal outta your pwo shake and replace it with dextrose, you need s simple carb with your pwo in order to spike your insulin. And get rid of the grits and replace that with the oatmeal,not packets that shit is garbage. Is there a specific reason you're drinking your cassein with almond milk at night? If not use 2% to bump up your calories. Other than that you can't miss with chicken breast,brown rice and green leafy veggies. Throw another meal in there with salmon and rice if you can (great source of fat). your P/C/F ratio looks pretty decent as well, but i like to keep it around 40/30/30 in order minimize fat gain. Good luck

Welcome Bootuh;

Agreed with above, don't be afraid of calories....as long as they're the right ones...

One observation I have is about the chicken "strips"...is that the pre-cooked/packaged deal? If so watch out those things are usually LOADED with sodium...

How much water are you drinking?

Thanks, and I'm consuming a gallon of water a day.
