    Dont mean to be an ass but why are you still thinking of a bulk when u r at 19%bf. Lean up a bit first b4 u start the test bro. With such a high BF% u increase the risks of gyno related sides Juz my thoughts.

    LOL okok i am sorry. OK if i was in your shoes (not that i am in of a better position myself ) I would defo cut the carbs to only Breakfast Pre/post workout. The rest of the day would be carbs/fibrous veg. And fill up the calorie from the deducted carbs with healthy fats or maybe upping protein a little.

    Talking

    Well your protein intake is up to you, some people (Mesomorphs) only need 1g of protein per body weight.. people such as myself with fast metabolisms (Ectomorphs) go with about 2g..
    As far as the carbs in your diet go, from my experience in reading this forum most people will say to find a better source other than brown rice, try Sweet Potatoes, or Red Potatoes..

    Bloating has NOTHING to do with your bodyfat. It is the amount of water your holding or gas from acute allergic reactions from food.

    You should be cutting not bulking, no more BS excuses. You are overweight if you are 19% bodyfat.

    As for your diet, it is dreadful. 8 scoops of whey per day? And why are you taking in 2 scoops immediately pre workout? Makes no sense why you would want blood to be in your stomach digesting food when you should want it in your muscles during your workout. Not to mention certain free radical scavengers and phase 2 liver pathways wont be activated if you are putting that much protein in your body during a workout.

    Have BCAA's pre workout if you want pre-digested amino's for quick fuel.

    Also you have no idea how many calories you should be taking in or what your macro ratio should be considering what you have laid out.

    I cant fix the diet for you because i would probably completely throw it in the garbage aside from keeping on chicken and rice meal. That about all I would salvage from that.

    Your fibre intake is minimal and your EFA intake...well where is it?

    I know you enquired for help so find out how many main. calories your body needs and we'll try and salvage your cycle..

    Harris Benedict Formula for Men
    BMR = 66 + (13.7 X weight in kilos) + (5 X height in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)

    Notes:
    1 inch = 2.54 cm.
    1 kilogram = 2.2 lbs.

    Example of BMR
    You are 25 years old
    You are 6 feet tall
    Your weight is 220 pounds
    Your BMR is 66 + (1370) + (914) - (170) = 2180 calories

    Harris Benedict Formula for Men - STEP 2
    To determine your total daily calorie needs, now multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:

    If you are Sedentary - little or no exercise
    Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.2
    - If you are Lightly Active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week)
    Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.375
    - If you are Moderately Active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week)
    Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.55
    - If you are Very Active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/week)
    Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.725
    - If you are Extra Active (very hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2X day training)
    Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.9

    Total Calorie Needs Example
    If you are lightly active, multiply your BMR (2180) by 1.375 = 2997
    Your total daily calorie requirement is therefore 2997 calories.
    This is the total number of calories you need in order to MAINTAIN your current weight.

    If you want to gain body weight, you must consume more calories than you burn. One pound of body weight is roughly equivalent to 3500 calories, so eating an extra 500 calories per day will cause you to gain one pound a week. Etc….

    Figure it out..

    No you need about 3400 Kcal to maintain your Lean Body Mass. Subtract about 500Kcals = 2800-2900Kcals on a daily intake for a good cut.

    I would do 45/35/20 pro/carb/fat ratio maybe.

    320g pro, 250g carb, and 65g fat


    MEAL 1 7:15AM

    1.5C of oatmeal
    2 whole eggs 4 egg whites
    1 scoop of whey
    49g pro, 40g carb, 10g fat

    MEAL 2 9:45AM

    6oz chicken breast
    1 large sweet potato (6oz or so)
    Spinach salad + Olive Oil/Flax Oil/Fish Oil
    52g pro, 37g carb, 15g fat

    MEAL 3 12:30AM

    6oz Chicken Breast
    1C Brown Rice
    52g pro, 45g carb

    MEAL 4 3:45PM

    1C Albacore Tuna Fish
    1/2C Brown Rice
    Spinach Salad + Olive OIl
    37g pro, 22g carb, 15g fat

    MEAL 5 5:00PM

    1/2C brown rice
    2 Scoop Whey
    50g pro, 22g carb

    WORKOUT 5:15PM
    (I would make workout like 6ish, or combine Meal 4 and 5 and then workout @ 4:45-5ish. Just subtract the Whey if you do that, and maybe add in 1/2C FF Cottage Cheese.)

    PWO - MEAL 6 7:00PM
    2 Scoops Whey
    Fruit or some simple carb (dextrose, WMS, etc.)
    50g pro, 40g carb

    MEAL 7 (make it 8:30PM)

    1C Brown Rice
    2 whole eggs 8 eggs whites
    36g Pro, 45g carb, 10g fat

    326g pro, 251g carb, 60g fat

    Hope this helps. Try it out for a couple weeks. Tweak your fat and carb intake, and try to get at least 1.5g pro/lb of LBM. GL brotha. Also, forgot to add, definitely do as much cardio as you can to shred that BF!

    Beat me to the punch, bloating will actually give you a better bf% readout because water shows as lean mass.

    Do you know of any expedient methods for reducing bloat, other than prevention? And will it work for all types of bloat? Thanks.

    OH - You wanted to bulk. Sorry pawly, I read 19% BF and assumed you were tryin to cut down. Yeah up your cals by 1k cal for bulk. Do like 4500-5k, good clean carbs broken down throughout the day as consistently as possible. Try to get between 60-70g carbs per meal. GL.
