i saw your other post in the q&a section. it takes a bit for people to answer. we all have jobs and families. but hopfully some more knowledgeable vets will chime in too.

are the "raw eggs" coming from the tub of pasteurized egg whites? if not, do not consume your eggs raw. your body can't properly digest them so eat them cooked. eating 5 eggs in that sitting might be better than 6.

if you're trying to bulk then try to get your protein from caloric stuff like red meat. chicken is good too.

the tuna meal is okay but tuna is usually a lean protein source that you would use during a cutting cycle. however, it's good to switch up your protein sources to get a wide amino acid profile.

Calculate your total calories, P/C/F from all those foods. I don't have enough time to do it myself.

To put things simply, your an ectomorph (self assessment by you), and from your height and weight, i can only assume you are. If so, you are defiantly not eating enough to bulk. Look at doubling what you have above, and removing one of your weight gainer shakes for real food.

Sounds like cutting diet to me
EAT man. eat burgers and pizza at least once a week

[baseline_9]

Ditto^^^

Cook the eggs and eat oats in morning aswell

Dropp the tuna, fish and shrimps and replace with lean meat lioe chicken beef or pork tenderloin.

Cottage chees before bed with some aditional casein if required

Drop the MRP shake, change to real food

Im about 4100 calories including the 2 shakes and some consider this a cutting diet?? I consume raw eggs to preserve the vitamins in the egg which if cooked could be dissolved plus it's time saving. I do consume chicken in certain meals (1/2 chicken or 1/4 from rotisserie without skin, not big fan of chix breast) I'm looking for a clean bulk, i'm happy with my bodyfat and abs and would like to maintain, i don't want to eat crap like pizza or burger just to put on weight, i know it will take more time but i'm willing to invest. Any other recommendation?
Thank you

droping the shakes for real food will help alot, liquid calories never fill you up as much as caloric dense meats...

why not just consume the 4100 kcal as planned, if after a week or two you dont weigh more or dont look larger, start consuming 500kcal more, then if that dont work, eat another 500 on top of that and so on, just keep eating more and more till you get larger and weigh more...

i think your making a good decision eating clean, but as your an ecto you can get away with extra calories through not so good foods like burgers and
sh1t...

As somebody suggested above, calculate your TDEE so you can get a closer to accurate number of what you should be eating to gain. Constantly monitor and adjust if/when necessary.

No reason you need to eat pizza or burgers to gain weight, you can certainly do a clean bulk and I don't know why anybody would be recommending otherwise. Just make sure you have plenty of protein (for you i'd say 1.5-2g/lb of LBM) and alot of complex carbs in each meal - sweet potato, yam, brown rice, lentils and beans, quinoa, etc. Lots of veggies for nutrients and fiber. Get your healthy fats in and try and separate them from your carb meals, such as in the last 2 meals of the day for instance.

Thank you for your feedback, what is considered good fats ?

[Damienm05]

nuts/butters made from nuts, extra virgin olive oil, macadamia nut oil, flax seeds and oil, fish oil, avocados/organic guacamole, salmon/trout skin, chia seeds, many more but those are gonna be the main staples.

Thank you for your feedback, what is considered good fats ?

nuts.. fats from fish.. olive oil.. stuff like that

here is how to calculate your TDEE

Bmr=66+(13.7xkg)+(5xcm)-(6.8xage)
1kg=2.2lb
1in=2.54cm
Once you know your BMR (basal metabolic rate) then use your daily activity factor to get your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE):
-Sedentary................BMR x 1.2 (little exercise)
-Lightly active...........BMR x 1.375 (light exercise)
-Moderately active.....BMR x 1.55 (moderate exercise)
-Very active.............BMR x 1.725 (hard exercise)
-Extremely active......BMR x 1.9 (hard exercise daily)
