    endurance/weight training diet

    hey people
    i have been reading for a while and thought i would post something - i am a cyclist and enjoy weight training - i am fairly clued up on diet/nutrition/training etc. i come from a sporting background and would like some imput
    i am looking for the optimal diet - mainly a % breakdown carbs/prot/fat for a cyclist who also wants some size and a rough calorie intake requirement figure:
    here are the stats

    MALE
    AGE 25
    150LBS
    7% BF

    2 HOURS DAILY (5 TIMES A WEEK) AT APPX 135-140 BPM STEADY STATE CYCLING TRAINING

    4 DAY SPLIT ON THE WEIGHT TRAINING

    i have my diet set up but would love some imput from you guys in the USA (as i am based here in the UK)

    i am looking to put a little size on and maintain body fat fairly low - i can provide more info as the thread progresses and would also like advice on supplements if possible! - i am taking creatine mono powder currently

    Hmm, you should probably refer to the stickies at the top of the page for a lean bulk. You seem to have alot of carbs in here, no significant protein sources except the two whey shakes and chicken breast. I also have no clue what Quark is so I really can not analyze it's nutritional value.

    That is one crazy ass diet...is this the diet you have been using for a while and weren't able to put on anymore weight? throw beef, steaks, tuna in there...beef builds beef, spread meals 2.5, 3 hrs apart, just study the bulking sticky and customize it to your caloric needs, and up them 500 or so calories...

    I recognize that approach as one of those 80/20 diets.

    80% carbs, and 20% exercise!!

    Eat some meat brutha!

    As the other said, check the posts atop the page.
