I am no expert but in my opinion way too much reliance on powders.
I try to limit my powders to my PWO and use 3 scoops whey. two of Carobgain and 10-15 gms of Creatine Monohydrate.
Other than that I eat whole foods, I work 9 hrs a day and while at work its tough to eat well, however what I do is to bring 3 prepackaged meals one example being chicken breast chunks in barbeque sauce ( I know but I gotta be able to eat it LOL) and a cup of uncle sams cereal and a third of a cup of blueberries. This is of course far from ideal but in my opinion provides much better nutrition, fiber and vitamins and phyto's than powder ever will.
PS I am cutting and am on a 40/40/20 split and am completly jealous of you being able to eat all those carbs ( the only ones I get are PWO) I work doing building maintenance and engineering and would love to have all those carbs as I am exhausted by the end of the day.
Anyway this should provide you with a bump and maybe others with more knowlege can chime in,
Best wishes.

Maybe change last meal to some cottage cheese and almond butter so I should do away with pre shake?

let's see...
I have your TDEE closer to 2300 - what do you do all day? Give me a typical day's schedule from rise to rest. It'll be hard to critique the diet until we have a better idea... but for now I can at least look at food choices. Also, post up a pic or 2 if you can, it'll help a great deal with judging where you're at and what direction you need to go in.
Definitely - but i'd make it at least 30 mins. Heart rate is barely getting up at 20 mins, assuming you're doing moderate intensity stuff. I'd add 5g BCAA prior.
How about 2 whole eggs, 4 whites. What kind of yogurt is this? Can't be fat free... if it is, I can't see where 23g of fat is coming from in this meal.
Meh. I'd have this meal looking much more like meal 1 personally.
Fine, although I'd invest in a better quality protein powder than Syntha-6. Just my opinion. ON Pro Complex
Nice meal, but seems like a lot of fat man... you gotta get this down somehow
Nice. Add some veggies if you can
No problem. But you do have options. Beef Jerky.
Meh. These types of meals are hard to account for. You might be able to get away with this on a bulk, but it could be tough on a lean bulk. If you're having a hard time staying lean, this is the first meal i'd look to fix.
I'd ditch the milk and drop the AB to 1tbsp. You don't need 30g of fat. And with a better protein powder, you can reduce the fat even further.
Man, this isn't a lean bulk at all. It's a fat bulk. 127g of fat? 4000 calories for a 5'10 170lb guy? Seems like way overkill to me. I'd start no higher than 3000 calories and completey readjust macros. If you aren't making any gains, you can always bump calories in small increments. I honestly do not think you need 4000 calories. I'd go with:
300g protein
300g carbs
65g fat
So yea, i'm basically telling you to drop 62g of fat. You'll thank me later. IF you aren't making gains, I would bump calories slightly but wouldn't go over 75g of fat... start looking at carbs more.
Note - this is assuming you're running the same calories every day. Personally, i'd carb cycle and reduce carbs to around 150g on off days.
Also, do you plan on doing any PWO cardio?

Thanks fb switching meal one yogurt to cottage cheese. All that fat is coming from the whole eggs and the milk I use in the oatmeal. I have no prob whatsoever staying lean just put lean bulk cause I was trying to eat clean ..
What is your go to type of beef jerky and would that be all you had???? Will put up a revised diet tonight
