I'm competed in my first show too weeks ago. I'm up about 18 lbs and am hoping to put on as much mass as possible over the next four weeks to take advantage of the rebound period after a competition.

My plan is to take in around 5000 calories daily. I'll be working out four days a week, full body workouts focusing on power movements, very high intensity. This is a dramatic shift from the workouts I have been doing.

To meet my dietary needs, my plan is to keep it simple and eat primarily lean ground beef for protein/fat and oats for carbs. To get my 5000 cals, this means eating about 8cups of oats and 3lbs of ground beef a day (21 pounds of beef and 3 large containers of oats weekly). I will also be taking in a PWO shake (vitargo/whey) on lifting days. I will of course be taking a multi-vitamin as well as BCAA's and Creatine.

Now for the diet question. My question is this:

What problems may I run into based on the fact that my diet will have very little fruits and veggies. Or, what benefits would I get by adding say brocolli (sp) into my diet 2x daily?
