1st bulking diet needs help

**ndmand4u** · 02-11-2006, 04:56 PM

I am going to start my first cycle in a few months and wanted to get some advice on my bulking diet. I am 25 years old, 5'7" and weigh 170lbs. I have been working out for 4 years now. I am a full time college student and I also work 24 hours per week. This has forced me to workout in the mornings. I would prefer to workout in the evening, but it can not be avoided. I would like to add at least 20lbs by the end of my cycle.
I will be taking:

Test e wks 1-10
Dbol wks 1-4
pct wks 13 -16

I have been doing some research on diets and this is what I have put together.

1st Question is how does that diet look to you? Do I need to add anything or drop some things?

It's funny how our stats are pretty similar. I have as few extra pounds on my frame than you, but I bet you'll pull ahead of me by the end of this cycle. As for your diet, it looks solid. I'm not sure how many calories that adds up to off the top of my head, but try to get in 4,000-5,000 calories each and every day. Since you weigh 170, I recommend getting in at least 2g/lb of protein, so that means at least 340 grams of protein daily. It sounds like a lot, but whenever your on cycle, your goal is to grow and by increasing your caloric intake, as well as protein, you'll grow. Chicken, fish, turkey, ham, lean meats, natty PB, eggs, and tuna are great sources of protein. I would throw in about 8 oz. of orange juice for your preworkout meal. I don't know how much energy you have at that time in the morning, but the OJ will help raise your blood sugar and give you a nice little boost. This is just my personal preference, but I also like to throw some V8 into the mix. It's a great source of vitamins and antioxidants. If you would like, maybe throw some of that into one of your later meals. Other than that, just eat, eat, eat and train hard. I'm sure you'll do fine. Good luck.

whole food is way better for slower absorption at night. i eat almonds with cottage chesse or my fav.... Natty Peanut Butter! YES!

agreed...my pre-bed meal is something i look fwd to all day! i dont think it will make a huge difference with the gear, but whole food would always be a better pick, IMO.
