Critique My Bulking Diet

[Beast_03]

Hey guys im just looking to see what u guys think about my diet, i know i need to add some more stuff in but i wanna see if im eating the right things and what can be done to make my diet better.

My stats are: 17 163lbs at 6ft with about 10-12%bf, ive been working out for about 1.5 years but only eating right for the past 2.5 months and during this time have gained about 20 pounds which made me realise how important a proper diet is. So here's mine so far:

Meal 1:
3/4 cup Oats, 6 Egg Whites

Pro:28g Carb:46g Fat:2g

Meal 2:
2 scoop Whey Protein

Pro:54g Carb:16g Fat:5g

Meal 3:
1 Banana

Pro:1g Carb:28g Fat:0g

Meal 4:
Protein Bar

Pro:24g Carb:46g Fat:8g

Meal 5:
1 Can Tuna (7oz) with 1 tbl spoon Mayo and 1 Apple

Pro:58g Carb:22g Fat:28g

Meal 6:
1 Can Tuna (7oz) with 1 tbl spoon Mayo and 1 Banana

Pro:59g Carb:28g Fat:28g

WORK OUT

Meal 7:
Chicken breast, 1 cup White Rice

Pro:54g Carb:44g Fat:13g

Meal 8:
170g Cottage Cheese

Pro:21g Carb:5g Fat:10g

Plus about 3 cups milk 1% with meal 6/7 (which overdoes pro/carb intake)

Pro:24g Carbs:35g Fat:8g


TOTALS: PRO:324g CARB:269g FAT:101g CALS: 3288
(40%) (31%) (28%)

My Maintenence calorie intake is about 2900 cals FYI.

The reason why meals 2,3,and 4 aren't that good is because i'm at school and its hard to take certain foods in with me, they have to be like ready made meals or something simple thats quick to eat.

Any suggestions for what i could add to any of my meals or change about my meals to help me bulk up would be appreciated.

Thx.

isnt that a bit of overkill? im sure you know a lot more than me but im guessing that would be around the 4000cals range? so dont u think that would be a bit too much considering my maintenence is at about 2900cals?

Overkill? hardly. You need the calories and prabably not even that comes close to 4000cals. People need to understand....4000 cals (when your doing a clean bulk) is a truck load of food. Just make sure you do a little cardio........remember im giving you an idea.......not a "plan you must follow"

k thx man, ill try to eat a lot more rice, dunno if ill get brown, ill try it tho and see how it is..is it that much more healthy than white rice because i dont think the amounts of pro,carb or fat are that much different... must be the fiber? ill add more chicken into my diet too. I dont think im gonna up my tuna intake cuz i already consume like over 14oz of the stuff which is 2 big cans. Im def gonna try the ground beef pattys tho, they sound good.

There is a "how to bulk" sticky aka "important post" atop the page w/a general guide on how to set up a good approach w/all of the pertinent information.

It's helped many w/a solidified plan of attack.

Brown rice is a coplex carb(barely) and white rice is a simple carb.........and yes read the bulking sticky. I do not use numbers and calculate my meals. I have been doing this long enough to know what my body needs and adjust it accordingly. You however may be far different from me..........so read up and see what works for you.

[Beast_03]

k thx for the info, ill change to brown rice then, and yes ive already read the bulking sticky as well as the put on lean mass sticky more than once, but ill keep doing research to see what else i can find out.
