Need help with my diet

[DHew]

Hey guys, im in the process of trying to start on a diet for bulking. no gear incorporated this time, im just going to try a good ol' diet. Please critique how im doing right now. I KNOW IT NEEDS REVISION, so please try not to flame too much.

Have one cycle under my belt, but before i do another im tryin to get my diet down...

9:30 AM
5 whole eggs, a sprinkle of feta.
2000mgs vit C, 4750mgs Fish Oil, Multi Vitamin

1:00PM
1/2 pd. turkey burger from 97/3 lean ground turkey.
1 cup plain oatmeal.

3:00ishPM
2 Cans Tuna. Mixed with some pickle juice/pepper/ 1tbspn mayo.

5:00PM
Work Out.

6:00PMish
Pre workout, I take 2 1/2 scoops no explode.
Post workout shake (Cyto Gainer 54g pro 84g carbs 3.5g fats). Animal Pak amino acids.

8:00PMish
Dinner. Now, dinner usually varies, and im curious what a good dinner would be? I've heard to keep carbs down after 7pm? Am I looking for lean proteins, or should I just down another shake with some oatmeal?

Ok. Please critique, and im pretty sure i need a crapload of revision, so please, help me revise. Thanks!!!

This meal is your first meal of the day with no carbs and about 30 grams of protein. You may want to do egg whites one whole and oats. Also your eating yolks which is a source of fat plus your taking in Fish oil.

1:00PM
1/2 pd. turkey burger from 97/3 lean ground turkey.
1 cup plain oatmeal.

3:00ishPM
2 Cans Tuna. Mixed with some pickle juice/pepper/ 1tbspn mayo.
I would add carbs here because you have only 1 carb meal at 1

5:00PM
Work Out.

6:00PMish
Post workout shake.

8:00PMish

This is myth. Thermogyenic effects do not magically stop after 7pm. In your situation you need a PWWO meal. Of Carbs/Pro/Fat. To feed your muscles after your workout.

Okay.. Have you taken a look at the bulking sticky on this board? UNoffical "How to Bulk" thread and sample diet... there are numerous other from nova and i**mfkr etc....

In summary your not eating enough.

First off, thanks so much for helping me with this. I struggle with diets. Nows, should I move the fish oils to mid afternoon then??? Is it ok to just stick to plain oatmeal for my source of carbs, or do i need to mix up carb sources?

[JohnboyF]

You still need alot of work on the diet though i mean your not eating enough you need to add a few more meals. also total kcal and macros will help aid the process.

did you look at those links?

I would try to switch the carb sources a bit. (potatoes, yams,oats, brown rice, grits) cheap stuff

[DHew]

yeah im looking at the links now. they help a bunch

[audis4]

you didn't even list macros...how are we supposed to know how much your taking in?

[DHew]
