It's like reading a book without paragraphs.
Clean it up somehow.
Drop the sugar/sodium stats, try to align the P/F/C into columns. You've already done the hard part.
Just scanning it over, changes can be made for sure. But its well done. Also add meal/workout times.

I couldn't get the format to work out so here is the word attachment. It should be much easier to follow. Help would be most appreciated.

No need to separate carbs/fats.
My advice is to gain as much mass as possible with minimal fat gains and worry about cutting the fat later. I’d shoot for 400g carb, 400g protein, w/ limited or no added fats (possible some EFA’s from flax or fish.)
Why run the gear for size and not achieve the best results?
Also, too many shakes… and where during the day do you workout? You need to add timings to these meals, w/ a proper pre-, post-workout protocol.
If you concur change those things around and let’s see where you are at… either way, good luck bro.

Look at the suggestions I’ve made in the attached file. Rework it with proper macros and repost. Sorry about notepad but the .doc upload max was to big. Might I suggest Excel for your diet spreadsheet? Much easier to go back and make changes.
Keep in mind that over 8 meals, you want approx. 50g carbs, and 50g protein each meal. Also I’d keep the same diet, just drop the PWO shake on off days. If you’re really worried about the fat gains add some cardio.
You should end up at around:
Protein: 400-450g
Carbs: 350-400g
Fat: 50-60g
Total calories (3400/4000) = OffDay/LiftDay
GET BIG!

Chronic thank you for the suggestions! What is the benefit of adding the fish oil (EFA) with my last protein shake (last meal of the day) right before bed time? Will this help fight catabolism? Will this EFA addition make me fat? Sorry I'm new to the whole EFA's.
