Well I just found out this past spring that I'm celiac (can't tolerate gluten) I am 22 years old 5'10" 166 pounds (gained 15 this summer). Ok I am on a bulking diet ( I believe ) I am trying to gain to about 185 pounds ( then I'll start cutting bigtime ) I am a competitive skier so cutting will be very easy in the winter with 4-5+ hours of training a day. My inablity to tolerate gluten makes me diet choices a lot slimmer. I can't eat wheat, oats, bread, sauces, pretty much can't eat anything manmade.
I have read the stickies and it made me realise I know less about the proper dieting than I thought. I am curious that I might not have enough fat in my diet (considering it have almost none) which would be bad for bulking I assume. I also have a specific question about my PWO shake.
My diet is as follows.
1.5-2lbs of chicken a day (pan fried in olive oil)
roughly 15 servings of brown rice (hate brown rice but I hear it healthier)
1-2 pounds of greenbeans and broccoli
10ish servings of fruit (mandrin oranges)
3 muscle milks and water
6-7 hard boiled egg whites
1 flax seed oil tab, 1 fish oil tab
I pretty much eat every 3 hours, my solid meals consist of chicken and rice and the veggies.
I drink muscle milks in between solid meals and after workouts
I eat the oranges usually with the muscle milks becuase they almost have no carbs.
I alternate solid meals and muscle milks throughout the day
Ok question #1 Since muscle milk is primarily casein does that mean its a shitty PWO shake?
Question #2 I am getting the feeling I need to add fat to my diet, confirm?
I have been gaining weight I just can't tell if its muscle of fat. I've been lifting for about 5 weeks now and I'm getting stronger but I get the feeling that I'm starting to pick up some extra pudge in the stomach region. I train every other day, not really paying attention to the day of the week. I have been doing lots of squats, leg presses, flat and inclines. Pretty much alternating those every other lifitng day, and I just threw shoulders into the mix this week.
I was just curious if this diet was WAY off or if I'm moderately close to a good one. I don't like to work any harder than I need to so I'd like to be able to maximize gains.
