    Depends on you, your goals, diet applied, results thus far, how well you handle a day of total sh*t, how much you can get away with, etc. etc.

    Ok, Swole here is my current diet. I'm on PCT rite now. I have gained 15 pounds in the last 5 1/2 weeks. If you need my Kcals, Protein, Fat, Carbs totaled up just adivse and I'll figure it out and be back. Oh yea, Me: I'm 35 6" 1" 217pds and don't know my bodyfat yet. My goal is lean muscle mass.

    Hey bros, here is my current buking diet. Is there anything else I can drink besides water Been drinking only water for about 5 weeks straight. Too much sugar in milk and OJ from what I've read.

    45-60 minutes of cardio before 1st meal.

    5:00 a.m. - 50 grms whey and some flax

    7:30 a.m. - 8 egg whites and 4 whole eggs


    9:30 - Can of tuna(32.5 grms protein) and ½ cup almonds.

    11:30 - 40 grm chicken breast and 2 tbl spuzn of nat peanut butter.

    1:30 - 12 oz lean ground beef

    4:00 - Workout( 5grm creatine rite before)

    5:15 - PWO 100grms carbs in 50-50 dextrose/maltodextrin form, 50 grms of whey protein, 5grms creatine.

    6:30 - PPWO 1/2 - 1 cup of brown rice, and 1 40 gm chicken breast.

    8:00 - Can of tuna(32.5 grms protein) and ½ cups almonds.

    Thanks bra, I don't think I could go buck wild, I'm too much of a perfectionist. I just wondered if I need to keep track of everything.. Some orange flavored chicken from Panda Express would be nicee. I think a beer would taste great, but I'm pretty sure that is a no no.

    If you want some Panda express and 2-3 beers, cool.

    If you wanna get a serious buzz of a six pack or something similar, that's a diff story. You then talk about setting yourself back for days on end on a cellular level fat-loss wise/muscle gain wise as well. Week after week, you'll see that becomes a problem most likely, but you'll ultimately have to see what you can get away with.

    Thanks, I'll just have 2 or 3. That should suffice.

    Your diet looks like a cutting diet.

    That's what I thought, but dalcowbag told me that 3 pro/carb meals in my bulking diet was plenty. How does this look

    45-60 minutes of cardio before 1st meal.

    5:00 a.m. - 50 grms whey 1 1/2 cups oatmeal and bannana shake.

    7:30 a.m. - 8 egg whites and 4 whole eggs


    9:30 - Can of tuna(32.5 grms protein) and ½ cup almonds.

    11:30 - 40 grm chicken breast and 2 tbl spuzn of nat peanut butter.

    1:30 - 12 oz lean ground beef

    That's cool, or you also may wish to opt to have some carbs/protein about an hour or two before your weights, just so you can use glycogen in the blood for energy instead of the limited amount left from meal 1 and then lean muscle tissue. Your fat intake is not as high as it would be if you were cutting and cutting out carbs, so before your workout I feel it's ideal to have some carbs (like oats) in order to make sure you have energy to push through the demanding workout.
