8:00 - 4 eggs, 2 Apples, cup oatmeal, Banana

10:00 - oatmeal, whey w/ milk, 2 banana's

12:00 - chicken breast, cup rice, brocolli

3:00 - 1/2 cup sunflower seeds

6:30 - chicken breast, cup rice, brocolli

7:45 - Workout
8:45 - Whey w/ 20 oz's grape juice

9:45 - Cup cottage cheese

That's around 3500 calories, I think.....

I'm 165, and my goal weight is 185 so shouldnt i be eating more around 4500? What things could I add?

What should I change when I cut?

In my opinion, since u are only 165 pound, 2500-2800 cal daily intake should be enuf. U are gonna get fat doing 3500 and let alont 4K+ cal.

That's just my humble opinion.

you don't take enough good fats (EFAs like fish or flax seed oils)

Hmm, where else could I get those 'good fats'?

TheBigDog, so is this diet fine or should I cut some food out?

Thanks

You can get your good fats from a variety of sources. Try nuts, nut butters, mackeral, salmon, halibut, snapper, tuna. Try canola oil and olive oil on salads and veggies. Flax oil and flax seeds in protein shakes and yogurt. Things like that should help. Good luck

your complex carb intakes is also way to low. your body can not be in a constant anabolic state with out sufficient energy. with each meal you should be eating some low GI complex carbs such as whole oats, chickpeas, lentils, kidney beans etc.

you only need to go 300-500 cals over maintenance to gain weight...

So what foods would you specifically add, take out, or change around? Complex and low GI carbs are all the same to me... lol

Thanks guys

Just try increasing the carb components (rice, etc) you already have planned. Maybe as much as double. As for calories for gaining good mass, I think for a 165#'er, 165x20=3300 Calories is good.
