From cut to bulk
Age 18
Height 5'11
Weight 177lbs
Eye colour blue
Hi guys. Recently been convinced to switch from a very long cut to a lean bulk. I have no experience in bulking other than eating as much as possible...
This is was I propose to eat and feel I could get along with for the average day
Oats 80g
Chicken 800g
4 eggs
Brown rice 750g
Tuna 200g
Light mayo 60g
Brocolli
3000 calories
300p 290c 72f
I am also interested in carb cycling in my bulk to minimise fat gain...
What would be the suggested drop in carbs on low days? And what frequency should I start with of low to high days... I understand everyone is difference but a heads up would be nice.
Tdee is supposedly around 2700-2800 but I don't know how accurate that is.
Any help would be appreciated guys

A slow cut and a lean bulk are essentially the same thing. I'm not a carb cycling guru like some on here. I would lean bulk on on Keto diets and did really well with that.
Edit: just saw you are going 2-300 above TDEE. I think at a minimum to gain muscle mass would be in the 500 calorie range. It takes 3500 calories to build one pound of muscle.Last edited by MuscleScience; 04-20-2017 at 03:44 PM.

You can start with 200 and increase towards 500 in the next 2 weeks , see what suits you
I'm not sure u actually need that much protein on ur size , i'd reduce protein a bit and increase carbs
I'd go high carbs on days u do legs/back/chest
moderate on shoulders and arms
and i'd pick one complete rest day with low(er) carbs

I second the notion of dropping some protein and replacing it with carbs. Like any diet, stick to it for a week or two before making any adjustments such as raising or lowering cals. Since you're not sure how accurate your TDEE is, it's best to just start lower and raise your cals later if you aren't gaining. Then you'll get a better idea of your actual TDEE.
