bulking diet..not gaining!
I'm on a bulking diet, and i didn't gain any weight for the past two weeks..i guess i'm not eating enough..my carb intake are mainly from oatmeals,veges and brown rice. I found it tough to determine how many carbs are there in brown rice..might be bcos of this dat i'm not gaining?
i'm 5'8 162pounds...anybody knows how much proteins are there in one chicken fillet? and how much brown rice make up 80g of carbs?
My typical day diet..
11am:1 cup of oatmeal
1 banana
1 cup of fatt free milk
1 muti-vit
2pm : Post workout
2 scoops optimum whey
4 tbsp dextrose
1 cup brown rice
2 cans tuna in water
3pm: 2 cups of whole milk
5pm: 1 cup brown rice
6 pieces of chicken fillet
1 bowl of lettuce
7pm: 1 cup oatmeal
6 pieces of chicken fillet
10pm:6 pieces of chicken fillet
1 bowl of lettuce
12pm:6 pieces of chicken fillet
1 cup of fat free milk

Re: bulking diet..not gaining!
Well to solve your how much protein in chicken problem, just go to the store and buy a cheap $5 scale, will be well worth it.
First of all, you need some solid food protein in your 11am meal and i would add in a protein shake also.
3pm- milk is not a meal by itself, add a piece of chicken or some type of solid protein in there.
Other than that it looks fairly good, i would just make sure you get that scale to make sure you're getting in enough protein. Except for your postworkout meal, i would make sure that you're getting in at LEAST 40g protein per meal for the rest of your meals.
If you make those changes and you still cannot gain, than i would start substituting some of that chicken with red meat. If you still cannot gain, than it could be over training.
