please seperate carbs/fats. you can get a lot more calories and a lot less fat storage if you research a little more.

you'll want 1.5-2 times your body weight in protein. alot of good carbs and good fats. seperate them so the excess calories won't make you fat. your body only uses carbs or fat as fuel, not both at the same time.

Hey everyone!

Heres my bulking diet, I'm just getting back into the swing of things please tell me what you think. I'll be using creatine, L-Glutamine, and N-Large2. Any opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Stats:
140lbs, 6'2, hardgainer

Breakfast: aprox 620cals, 30g fat, 50g carbs, 35g protein you want either 30g fat and 0 carb, or 50g carb and 0 fat, although a little of either is okay

-1 ladel full of lean ground beef with taco mix
-2 scrambled eggs a good tip for this is to use egg whites only, its pure protein, the yolk has 5g fat, and egg whites only usually have 3.5g protein with 0g fat
-1/2 cup of potato if this is a sweet potato then good job
-1 Large whole wheat torilla shell
-1 teaspoon of hot sauce


Mid morning: Aprox 700 Cals, 50g protein, 80 carbs

-1 serving of Nlarge2 im not against nlarge2, but im sure it is loaded with sugar carbs so definently keep fat away with this meal
-8oz of milk, juice or water
-1/2 cup of yogurt
-1 banana or some sort of fruit
-1 Tbsp of Udo's Choice Oil udo's oil is a good EFA, but remember keep fats and carbs seperated, so save this for a fat/protein meal


Lunch: aprox 400 calories

-1 Large chicken breast diced marinated in teriyake sauce not bad if you aren't worked about sodium of course
-2 handfuls of whole wheat pasta one of my favorites
-2 Tbsp of marinara sauce
-sliced red and yellow peppers


Mid Afternoon: Aprox 700 Cals, 50g protein, 80 carbs

-1 serving of Nlarge2
-8oz of milk, juice or water
-1/2 cup of yogurt
-1 banana or some sort of fruit
-1 Tbsp of Udo's Choice Oil once again this meal sucks, you are getting high GI carbs from everything on here and then throwing in some fats change this one too
Dinner: aprox 600 cals, 35g protein, 55g carbs

-6oz of salmon
-grilled asparagus with melted parmesan on top
-4 small baby potatoes potatoes are healthy, but dont mix fats (salmon) with carbs (potatoes)
-Green salad with 1 tbsp of italian dressing


Evening: Aprox 700 Cals, 50g protein, 80 carbs

-1 serving of Nlarge2
-8oz of milk, juice or water

Okay, where to start? First, you need to get 2grams of protein per body pound. You weigh 140, so you need 280g of protein daily. Also, seperation of carbs and fats is important. If you didn't already know, carbs induce secretion of insulin. Insulin is the storage hormone, so if you are getting carbs at the same time you are getting fats, you are bound to release insulin resulting in fat storage. Next, you need to get lots of different proteins. N-large is okay, but you have 3 meals with it! How about you try turkey, chicken, tuna, egg whites, whey protein for your carb/protein meals, and try steak, salmon, cottage cheese, cassien protein, for your fat meals?
Also, know the difference between low GI and high GI. Low gi carbs take a lot longer to burn and don't have as much effect on secretion of insulin as high gi carbs do. We always want low GI carbs in our carb/protein meals EXCEPT after our workouts. Good low gi carbs are sweet potatoes (yams), oat meal, whole wheat breads, brown rice, white rice, etc.
Lastly, lets talk about fats. You want to get a good source of EFAs, although you don't need ALL your fats coming from EFAs. For sources from EFAs you can get omega 3s 6s from flax seed oil and udos oil, also try natural peanut butter as it is calorically dense which would help you out and taste GOOD, peanuts, nuts, almonds, salmon, fish oil, are just other examples of this. Im sure you have already read this from the bulking sticky, but you need 40grams protein and 80grams dextrose after you workout.
If this doesnt help you, PM me and we will make a new diet plan for you.
