    Clean Bulk Diet Review

    Hey guys, i was dieting down for a while and thanks to all the helpful into on boards like this i was able to get pretty shredded. Now its time to put some weight back on, and i haven't done any type of bulker in a while, so i'm currious to see what my new dietary knowledge can pull together in terms of puttin on some muscle for me. Here's what i have cooked up for my diet right now. Looking for a clean bulk. Any advice/ciriticism are welcome.... i'm here to learn. Currently, because my day allows for it, i'm eating smaller meals every one to two hours and its seems to be working rather well for me so far. Here's the adverage day. Macronutrients are broken down as (calories/pro/carb/fat). This is the base, and as weight increases i will modify to increase calories, carbs, etc.Thanks in advance:

    2 eggs/ 3/4 cup eggwhites, protein shake with steelcut oat mixed in
    ( 470/49 /31/12 )
    Protein shake
    ( 80/20 /0 /0 )
    pure protein bar
    (200 /20 /18 /5 )
    Grilled Chicken breast/ Spinach leaves/ 10 grams whey
    (152 /37 /2 /1 )
    can tune/ brown rice/ EV olive oil
    (320 /35 /28 /6 )
    noxplode/whey/bcaa/glutamine
    ( 65/ 15/ 0/ 0)
    post workout shake
    (430 /40 /70 /.5 )
    protein bar
    ( 200/20 /18 /5 )
    6-8 oz beef/ flaxseed and wheat wrap/ spinach leaves
    ( 440/46 /10 /30 )
    protein shake
    ( 110/ 25/ 2/ 0)
    chicken breast/ spinach leaves/ 10 grams whey
    (152/ 37/ 2/1 )
    turkey breast/ spinach leaves or broccoli
    (150 /33 /0 /3 )
    caesin shake
    (260 /48 /10 /3 )

    Totals
    (3030 / 420/189 /72 )

    Stats:

    Thanks.
    This is a bulker right? You protein is too high, carbs are too low, maybe add in some more heathly fats per meal. Stay b/w 1.5-1.8 grams per lb on the protein. I do the later Add in some more carb sources. Maybe cut it down to 7-8 meals a day and if your really serious wake up in the middle of the night and have to casein shake

    I would not see the need for anymore than 350 grams of protein for you. That would be 1.8 grams per lb. And still you are really lacking on the carbs. Aim for 2-3 grams per lb and add in a carb source to every meal even bedtime where you can add in some oats at the end of the night

    I agree with Reed... You need more carb for a bulking diet... My stats are almost identical to yours and I cut at about 300-400 calories more than you're taking in.... Your carb intake should be close to 400g if not more. It would help if you could list the times of your meals as well... Other than post-workout, protein shakes are generally a poor choice as opposed to a real whole protein source...

    I've looked things over and i agree, i def need more carbs. Part of my was most likely still in diet phase, and i need to get rid of that mentality. I've reworked it to toss those shakes out and added sweet potatoes to the nearby meals as suggest. Thanks a lot for the help guys. I appreciate it greatly.
