Please evaluate my Diet

[-SD-]

This has been my diet for the past couple months. I am 28, 5'10", 193, 13%. I will be going into a cycle of Sauce/Eq in a month or so, I want to get to 200lbs naturally first so let me know if this diet is good for that. Also let me know if this diet is good for that sauce/Eq cycle or if I need to change anything. Thanks bros.

This diet is followed exactly for Monday-Friday but sometimes I substitute chicken for sardines and on the weekends I just make sure to get enough protein and calories but I dont meticuliously count macronutrients.

thats alot of fat man...I dont think its going to help you... Well it might help you get to 200lbs but you are gonna get some fat on the old belly... Also alot of lactose sugar with that milk... I guess if you have the metabolism then great...

I just dont like it... But thats my opinion, but you are definately getting enough protein and carbs... I'd lower the fat though... Maybe swutch to skim milk...

I have had much cleaner diets that helped me gain 10lbs naturally without the fat.

I could switch to skim if it had enough protein. Ill look into it.

 

[corvettedudeman]

12g prot per cup

If i were you i would go for lactose free soymilk

I would put those 51g carb from meal 5 in meal 2.

This is the first time Ive actually wrote down everything that I eat during the day, so I can now make adjustments where necessary. Give me some more input bros.

try adding in some nuts, peanut butter, ans other good sources of fats...

Get a simple carb postworkout shake dextrose and fructose

If you're trying to gain weight, you need to add a whole lot more clean carbs to that diet, get rid of the sugars you dont need, add more carbs. Your carbs should be equall if not more than your protein if you are trying to bulk up - and post workout, definitely a protein shake with 1/3 c. of dextrose - 75g carbs would help out nicely, Just my 2 centavos

i agree somewhat with tbone... However i wouldnt go past 60 carbs post workout... Def cut out the un needed sugars... But i still wouldnt go too high on the carbs... Def not more than 1.5 x bodyweight

Cut down on the high fat dairy. Change the milk to skim milk and add olive oil or flax on the side. Also up the protein even higher. I would drop the fats a bit, but not much. Following DC's eating habits, I think a 40/40/30 of protein, fats and then carbs is best.

While I agree with most of whats been said here, especially all the information about taking out bad fats and replacing them with good, and cutting them back, as well as the sugars, and bad carbs - one thing I think that is being overlooked is the fact that if you are bulking to gain size, you should be getting close to 2g carbs per pound, reason being is that carbs are very essential to adding mass, and sending glucose into your blood and muscle cells, without them, in the right amount at the right time, you can have as much protein as you want but if you carbs arent in order you wont make any where near the gains you could have. Keep in mind, this is for bulking and adding mass, where you may and probably will gain some fat, but with the proper diet, and timing, you can keep that limited, then after the bulking cycle, hit up a diet that will let you keep your gains and cut the fat - an easy thing to do, if you have the right knowledge !! with that said, if you are serious about adding size and bulking up, you are much better off getting more than just 300g carbs, more like 350-375 is much better for stimulating growth, its been shown that while muscles are made up of protein cells and water, that its the carbs that will add mass and put you up in weight if that is your goal, and its carbs that will send the proper nutrients into those muscles for optimum gains. A quick side note - and thats you should take r-ala with all your carb meals to send them in quicker and avoid gaining too much unecesary fat at the same time.
