    Seems alot of sugar imo. Plus I'd add some carbs before you workout out, just to give your prewo shake something to work with.

    I'd add as many complex carbs as I could and try to eliminate as much sugar. And try to eliminate as few shakes and replace with real food.

    I can replace the honey with turkey slices to help get the chicken sandwiches down and work a 1/2 serving of ON Serious Mass weight gainer shake before my workout (126g carbs). That will put me at:

    3296 calories
    313 g protein
    332 g carbs
    44 g fat
    88 g sugar
    45% protein, 42% carbs, 13% fat

    I can work on finding some real food in place of protein shakes when I get back home (US). I'm a little limited on what food I have at my disposal right now. All-in-all,do you think this breakdown will support lean muscle growth...and keep gains with good PCT and steady diet?

    The 40/40/20 split seems to be a.popular split and work well for people on a bulk. Yours is roughly that, but it's not a guarantee that it will be the best split for you. Initially its a good set up, but you may have to alter things slightly if you feel yourself not gaining enough muscle or gaining too much fat. But don't swap and change things every week, give it time.

    Will do..this is more of a marathon than a race. It will take a lot of time/effort/trial/patience I'm sure.

    Thanks for the advice.
