Look for the *** marks.
If you cut stuff out make it your protein shakes.

[shread]

thanx bro,
the reason i havent put protien in meal 7 is because im not sure weather or not i want to keep that meal in the diet or not... thats the only reason.

and if meal 7 isnt there meal 6 is the last meal, should i swap meal 6 and 7?

and the reason for the shakes is that off the internet i can get 20kg of wpi, 93-95%pure for $440. (insanely cheap)

maybe instead of the cottage cheese in meal 3, i could have chicken breast instead, but i love my lunchtime sandwhich and its only 125 grams of cottage cheese.

with meal one would oats be slower releasing than wheet bix? would that be a better choice?

those changes be good enough?

thanx again twist

I would keep all the meals the same just make the adjustments like I said in the stars above. Shakes are shit, I know they are cheap. You get what you pay for. Don't use them unless you HAVE to.
I know you love your cottage cheese, and its not that bad, but you know what I love? Banana cream pie... we all gotta make sacrifices. I don't think the body responds well to dairy and there is debate about the whole thing but I would certainly not make it a whole meal.

IDk what wheat bix is... but rolled oats are good.

[Twist]

soooooo whats your tdee??

Yeah what is your tdee? cuz on a bulk you are supposed to be eating over your tdee.

[shread]

approx 2750-2800,

3118 to much over?
i was aiming for 3000

[jamyjamjr]

no.. your current intake is fine..

just a few changes..

[shread]

im going down to the supermarket today, i will have another look at the bread.

just wondering jamyjamjr, why is casein so much better? ill have a search for it on here

[jamyjamjr]

actually it's not.. lean beef is better, but casein has the same property... long lasting/digesting protien for sustained amino acid levels over night while you sleep..

whey runs through your system in 1 hour.. chicken/turkey/fish 3-4 hours, casein 7-8hrs , lean beef 18hrs..

so if you sleep 8-9 hrs a night and you have anything but the casein or lean beef your body will very likely go catabolic.. that's precious muscle baby.. hang on to it..
