Diet Critique Please!!!! Need to Bulk

[BlackStang]

Hey, I was into lifting for a couple years but last year or so wasn't the greatest and slowly got dragged down by the party scene. Guess I hit rock bottom in the beginning of January and was pretty sick for 2 months or so. Lost alot of weight. Finally am able to eat near what I could before and want to get back into lifting. I purchased "Gaining Mass" by Anthony Ellis and have read it over. Here is what I came up with for a diet so far. Any help or comments are appreciated


Meal A

Oatmeal
3 ***** 3 Eggs
Protein Shake

Cals 470, Pro 45, Carb 32, Fat 17

Meal B

1/2 Cup Peanuts

Cals 480, Pro 19.5, Carb 15, Fat 37.5

Meal C

5oz Chicken Breast
change to sandwich made with whole wheat bread (will get exact nutrition info soon, this is white bread info.)

Cals 335, Pro 44, Carb 30, Fat 6

Meal D

Protein Shake
1.5 Cups Oatmeal Crisp

Cals 465, Pro 31.5, Carb 67.5, Fat 5.5

Meal E - Pre-Workout

5oz Chicken Breast
1 Cup Rice
1 Cup Cucumbers
Some Mini Carrots

Cals 423, Pro 46, Carb 53, Fat 7

Meal F - Post-Workout

5oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Pasta

Cals 495, Pro 51, Carb 64, Fat 7

Meal G - Before Bed

1.5 Scoop Casein Protein
1.5 tbsp Udos

Cals 398, Pro 36, Carb 4.5, Fat 22.5


Total

Cals 3075, Pro 273, Carb 266, Fat 102.5

All shakes are made with milk. I want to bring the protein down to around 225 and the cabs up to around 300. Any Suggestions????


Here are the supplements

Multi-Vitamine
B Complex
1000 UI Vitamine D
3000mg/ed Vitamine C
1000mg/ed Calcium
15g/ed Glutamine
3 ZMA Pills
Also take Ultra Fuel after each workout on workout days so that adds 400 cals 100g Carbs.


Any suggestions???



Thanks

We need your stats.

diet looks good bro from what i can see as well as when to eat what, but need to know stats to know if your calorie intake is high enough to bulk! also how active are you?

[perfectbeast2001]

lose the oatmeal crisp and eat some normal oats instead. Meal B is horrible change for something with better macros (37g fat in one meal!!!). You could add something with a good complex carb source here to bump carbs up like chciken sweet potatoes or brown rice or oats. lower chciken portions and protein powder portions a little in each meal to lower all over pro intake if that is your aim. Shoot for around 30g pro per meal.

pasta, pasta and moe pasta

Add some sort of red meat

Right now I am 5' 11" at 130lbs turning 21 soon. When I was working out i was up around 165-170 so you can see how much I lost. I beleive I was eating around 3500-4000cals at my peak. I'm an ectomorph and it has always been hard to put on mass. Have been doing research for awhile now and beleive I know more now then I did when I was working out a year ago. Don't want to jump into a cycle beacuse I know I can gain alot more naturally. I want to get my diet spot on and slowly work from there. I know I have a long road ahead of me but I think I should be ok due to what I went through. I learnt alot in 1 year.

I'll switch Meal E and F around but change out the chicken for extra lean ground beef. Will also cut down last protein shake to 1 scoop and mayb cut down to about a half scoop for meal A. As for second meal I'll try to think of something. I'll be going back to school in the fall so I want to make sure its something that I can eat while in class.

Sorry its hard to picture the diet with just typing but I'll try to get the macros and diet layout for you guys later on tonight.


Thanks for all the help so far!
