My Bulking Diet

[jack3d89]

I'm 6 foot, and just about 200 lbs. Going to be on Mass Tabs for a Month, so I'm going to start a bulking cycle. I have a very rough outline and want suggestions/recommendations on carbs/protein/fat all of that stuff, as well as good alternatives so I'm not eating the same thing every day.

Here's a very rough outline with rough estimates:

Calories: 1000
Carbs: 180
Protein 85

Your numbers are all over the place, lunch and dinner for example are way off.

Try to be more specific, if you just estimate there is no way to accurately assess the diet.

This is likely a 'get fat' diet more then anything else.

[jack3d89]

i got the numbers from the nutrition facts on all the foods, so it should be extremely close. WHat do I need to change?

Without knowing your bodyfat or at least seeing pics, it will be hard to advise on your diet. 6ft 200lbs could mean you're pretty fat, or you could be jacked. How can we tell?

Here's a very rough outline with rough estimates:

Breakfast: Eggs Beaters, Whole Wheat Bagel, Oatmeal, Shake
Calories: 1000
Carbs: 180
Protein 85

Need specific info as to how much of each. Just knowing your food choices and totals isn't enough. We need each macro for each meal. I also noticed you're only concerned with listing carbs and protein - does fat not matter to you? Finally, 1000 calories is too much in one sitting. At a glance drop the bagel

Meal #2: Full Mass Gainer Shake + Banana
Calories: 710
Carbs: 117
Protein: 53

Replace the shake with real food. 4-6oz lean protein. Drop the banana and replace w/ a complex carb

Lunch: Cup-Cup and a half of Brown Rice
Chicken/Turkey/?
Veggies
Calories: 935
Carbs: 75
Protein: 100

A cup is plenty. The rest of the food is fine. Again, almost 1000 calories, too much

Workout

Post Workout: Full Mass Gainer Shake + cup of oatmeal
Calories: 800
Carbs: 130
Protein: 52

What is the protein source in this shake? How much sugar and other crap is it loaded with? how much fat?

Dinner: Eggs/some kind of meat
Potatoes
Salad?
Calories: 450
Carbs: 80
Protein: 45

Make it a sweet potato

Protein Shake
Calories: 200
Carbs: 10
Protein: 35

Why here? We take shakes 1st thing in the morning (if you can't eat real food in time), PWO, and casein before bed due to convenience. No need anywhere else. They are supposed to be a supplement, not meal replacement

Meal #6: Whole wheat Bread, Peanut Butter, Milk
Calories: 500
Carbs: 60
Protein: 15

This is a terrible meal. Drop it entirely, lean protein and healthy fat here

Casein Protein Shake’
Calories: 20
Carbs: 10
Protein: 30

ok

Total Calories: 4615
Total Carbs: 662
Total Protein: 415

Way high on carbs, i'm willing to bet way high on calories overall. Let's see some pics so we know what we're dealing with. And next time you post up your diet, please include complete and accurate macros for each meal


Thanks for the help

I'm curious as to why you count carbs and protein but not fats?

[jack3d89]

I'm not sure why the grams of fat didnt paste over, but I did count them.

The PWO shake is Universal Real Gains, same thing for in the morning so its a good amt whey and i think a small amt casein.

I can't get pics uploaded, unfortunately, but I can tell you I'm about 18% body fat right now

At 18% bodyfat or even close to it, bulking should be the furthest thing from your mind IMO. I can guarantee you won't be happy with the results when you manage to add a bit of muscle and a bunch more fat. Then you will have to cut down from 20% + bodyfat, will probably lose the muscle in the meantime because I assume you don't really know what you're doing (no offense, not being a d!ck), and you'll wind up skinny fat.

Just my .02 bro, i'd reconsider a cut or body recomp, no bulk.
