I'm definately no diet guru so you can take this with a grain of salt.
First, total kcals seem way low if this is a bulking diet. Use this Harris Benedict calculator to figure out what your maintanence cals should be then bump it up 500-800 cals.
http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/CalRequire.html
From my calculation you have about 350g protein, 140g carbs, and 58g fat. You'll need to add more carbs, over 200 at least, then bump the fat up. Your diet looks a lot more like a cutting diet/maintaining diet, rather than a bulk.
Best of luck brotha.

Fear of putting that fat back on is always a problem when going from cutting to bulking. Just keep that a.m. cardio up and EAT BROTHA. I envy you, I'm still cutting.

Alright, it's updated with much love from SPOUND with the kick ass advice. thanks to all who replied, everyone let me know what you think of the final product. i am clean bulking, but more suggestions are more than welcome to add more cals if needed here and there. let me know what you would do differently, or what you like. any suggestions on cheats as well!but remember i'm in college and time and money is tight. again, let me know what you think.

looks much better!! i would start with this and see how you do. as far as cheats go...chipolte burrito bowls are a good option because if you get them prepared right (rice, black beans, chicken breast, salsa, veggies) they aren't a totally off the wagon cheat. sushi's a good one too. enjoy!

Looks a hell of a lot better! I still have some critique though....
Also I didn't mean list how many cals from each macro nutrient in each meal, I meant to list hwo many grams of each macro nutritent are in each meal, and then the total grams of each as well. Sorry if I was unclear.
You still need to up your carbs some...don't worry...carbs dont necessarily make you fat is your timing is right and the carbs are th eright kind. I am in college too, so I know how tough sticking to a diet can be, but if you need any tips, LMK

So here's what i did...
upped my carbs by about 500 cals...
changed a few things around. now my question would be, can you eat too many oats? don't worry, I LOVE EM! so it doesn't bother me, but it's looking like a lot of oats.
i also changed the times on my PPWO meal so there wouldn't be any prob with the fat from the salmon, i also moved back my whey/flax meal after that.
i also changed the bread to oats in meal 4 (can't guarantee i wont use bread every now and then though).
i also added the grams of each macro and grams per meal and a daily total...
so again, please add anything else, or any opinions you may have.
THANK YOU SO MUCH "SPOUND" FOR YOUR HELP...
and a big Aaaaaaannnnkkkkyoooouuuu!!! to everyone else who joined in!
keep the great help coming!

Looks pretty damn good. Only thing I could comment on now that you have given me grams measurments as well is that your protein intake is unnecessarily high. You only need about 2g per lb MAXIMUM ( I wouldnt even go this high unless I am on gear)....I go about 1.5-1.7g per lb myself. You are taking in as much protein as myself and I weigh 250 lbs. The first meal I see first and formemost has too much protein, you don't need 100g of protein in one sitting if you are eating 7-8 times a day. Back it down some. Other than that it looks pretty good...try this out for a while and see how it treats you. If you are unpleased with anything such as too much fat gain or anything then come back and we can make some adjustments accordingly. Good lcuk
Oh and...your welcome on the advice, it's my pleasure.

Oh and no....you can't really take in too much oatmeal. It is great for you! When I am bulking I eat around 6 cups of it per day. When I incorporated oats into my diet my cholesterol dropped from in the low 200's range to 126!!! Doctor was amazed at how low my cholesterol was.

02-16-2006, 11:39 PM #19
wow, didn't even register as i was altering it how much protein i had! i'll adjust that and i'll post the finished product 2morrow, or later this morning...hehe
-

my gram measurements were off for my protein in nearly every meal except PWO, with that in mind my new total for protein grams in a day is 380, which is a little higher than 2g/pound of weight. but with the hopeful weight gain, i think it will even itself out. so i am leaving it there...
now its to figure out what kind of cheat meal i want
-
02-17-2006, 12:00 PM #21
so i guess i really don't need to repost, i figured all my protein grams and im just over 2g per pound of weight as stated above. i am really eating my ass off and i like it! haha thanks for all teh help, and any other comments are always welcomed...
any great ideas for cheat meals would be cool too
-
02-17-2006, 02:59 PM #22
Cheat meals, oh let me count the ways.
1...2...3...4....
'6 hours later' 5864....5865....5866.... Sh!t, I lost count. 1....2....3....
Seriously though, there is so many good ones out there. Just try not to mix macros too much if you're really trying to stay lean.
Have you ever heard of a "No-Bake Cookie". Basically massive amounts of sugar, chocolate fudge, oatmeal, and peanut butter. My mom used to make them all the time, rich as hell but freaking awsome. For the past couple of days I've been working on the recipe and trying to bring it up to my health standards. If I get the recipe down, I'll post it for you. The experimental batches show major promise.

HELL YES!!!
who doesn't like no bakes? definately give me that recipe bro!
