Bulking Diet Log

[rummyjoe]

My Stats as of 6/19/06
21 years old
5'11''
178lbs
16% body fat (estimate)
Training for about 6 months
Goal: Gain 10-15lbs of muscle mass in 12 weeks

I am not using AAS since I have alot of work to do before I am at that level (thanks to Big for helping me realize that)
Let me know if my goals are unreasonable or if I have a chance of achieving more then I hoped for.

I will do my best to keep an accurate and up to date log everyday...



I realize that my last meal was rather large. Today was poorly planned and I was trying to cram in all I had missed from my other meals.

Alright tear into my diet and let me know what I should work on...

I am also going to post my workouts, so check it out too!

I think your expectations on 10 to 15lbs of muscle without juice are a bit high but Big is most certainly right about not juicing at your age. I will let others more qualified than me to comment on the diet. What does your workout routine consist of

Your diet is not very good. I think some of ur calculations are off. like 10 grams of protein from 1 egg white. I would get rid of the orange juice, mocha whatever, and add some more protein and quality fats, and carbs. Your post workout shake is god awful as well. U go from about noon til 5 pm without a good source of protein, so that is pretty weak. if ur really planning on gaining 10 -15 pounds then i would look at the sticky at the top of the diet section that concerns bulking.

I made a typo, that was 4 eggs whites not 1... This diet is definitely a work in progress. It will be improving once I get a handle on what foods I have available. I realized that it needs some major improvement.

You may gain some muscle mass in 12 weeks, but 10-15 lbs isn't likely. With your current bodyfat percentage you may actually lose some weight, or stay the same.

Try to space out your meals more evenly - your total macros look pretty good. I'd take out the O.J. cause of the sugars, and the Mocha of course. Also, try adding in some EFA's (essential fatty acids) - maybe some olive oil or flax seed oil on your salads, or you can supplement with fish oils.

I guess my goals are a bit lofty, maybe 8lbs would be a more realistic goal. I still have a carton of O.J. in my fridge but once that is gone I will take it out of my diet completely. The Mocha was a slip up... I met a friend at starbucks but I should have gotten a coffee or tea instead. I am taking a multi-vitamin (GNC Mega Men Sport) and fish oil concentrate 2000mg. I will start logging these with my diet as well. Thanks for the input.

Well, props for being honest about your diet. There are many cheap routs to go, that will give you good gains. Canned tuna fish is good protein. Lean steak/ground beef at the grocery is also good. Instead of that mocha thing, you can find a decent protein bar if you absolutely must.

This day was all jacked up... I need to work on spacing out my meals better. I did my best at In n Out burger by getting the lettuce wrap burger but now that I look at how much fat is still in it... it wasn't a wise choice.
