Trying to bulk, BF% increasing.......

Hey Everyone,
Stats

Male
23
175 lbs
15% BF
5'11
(not currently using any AAS)

In one month I have gained 5 pounds and 2% body fat.

I cant give you an exact diet because it is totally different every single day so it is difficult to critique at the moment.

Is my bulk working or am I just getting too fat?

Gaining fat is all part of bulking. Your on the high side yes but do some adjustments to your diet and clean it up a little bit. I normally aim for about a pound a week. Anything past that is mostly fat IMO. You should lay out a diet for us to view and maybe we can help tune it for you.

Diet looks thought out. I'm sure their some improvements that u will make over time.

I just wanna know why you have weight gainer in your diet and are wandering why u are gaining fat. I've always been under the impression that weight gainer is a marketing ploy to teenagers.

I would ax the weight gainer first thing imho

Also I'm pretty sure that 2% is within the margin of error. Just a thought

I was not aware that it was a marketing ploy. I take mutant mass.

and thats a good point about the 2%.

****this is not a meal

11:00
Chicken Wrap with veggies
****this is potentially a bad meal - whole wheat wrap? how much chicken and what kind of chicken? restaurant or fast food? what veggies, with butter?

12:00
protein shake
****not a meal

2:00
can of Tuna + crakers
****half of a meal

4:30
pork rice veggies
****red meat and asparagus are much better choices

5:45
Toasted Peanut butter and banana sandwhich/ creatine
****this is a great meal... for a 5 year old minus the creatine

Work out
***after eating peanut butter? how about some slow digesting protein and some slow digesting carbs or fats before this workout

7:30
Protien shake/dextrose/creatine/BCAA
****still not a meal
7:45
Peanut Butter banana toasted sandwhich
****1-4 of your diet is peanut butter. try things like chicken

9:00
Could be anything (usually chicken and veggies)/ I mainly try to stay away from carbs
**** form trend I am going to say this is not a good meal either.

11:00
Sleep
**** and that is where you gain fat from all the sugar and crap and lose muscle from the lack of good foods.

**** we all begin somewhere. I can't even begin to tell you where I started. First day of the rest of your better life. at least you acknowledge you need to change.

****look for the ****'s
