Help with Diet!!

I would appreciate some feedback.

I used to run this diet from Feb - June, in those few months I gained 25-30 pounds, but I tapered it down a bit because I got sick of feeling full 24/7.

Now, I'm getting back on it, but I'm supplementing most of my calories, I'm not sure if that's bad. Currently, I'm getting around 2500 calories but surprisingly losing weight.

I will have 3 meals a day. Each Weight Gainer Shake is mixed in 2 cups milk.

Breakfast = 3 eggs, Weight Gainer Shake
Lunch = 1lb Chicken Breast, Weight Gainer Shake
Dinner = 10oz Steak, Weight Gainer Shake

I'll get salads/fruits in randomly throughout the day, honestly, after giving up eating candy and other crappy junk food, fruits tastes so much sweeter.

So total calories/macros in each meal (please correct me if I make a mistake)

Breakfast
1) Eggs - 210 calories, 18g protein/15g fat/3g carb
2) WGS - 900 calories, 70g protein/22g fat/100g carb
Total: 1110 calores, 88g protein, 37g fat, 103g carb

Lunch
1) Chicken Breast - 700 calories, 130g protein/30g fat/7g carb
2) WGS - 900 calories, 70g protein/22g fat/100g carb
Total: 1600 calories, 200g protein, 55g fat, 107g carb

Dinner
1) Steak - 440 calories, 50g protein/20g fat/0g carb
2) WGS - 900 calories, 70g protein/22g fat/100g carb
Total: 1340 calories, 120g protein, 44g fat, 100g carb

Total Calories = 4000cal
Total Protein = 408g
Total Fat = 135g
Total Carbs = 310g

4000cal/408g protein/135g fat/310g carbs

Carbs are on the high side for now, I'll bring that down once I start cutting in the future.

Note: I have a great workout plan and I absolutely love to workout.

Hey

Not the best way to diet for bulking, I'm assuming that is your goal? What is your BFT?

3 meals a day isn't the way to approach this. You'd want a steady caloric intake. Every 3 hours you should be consuming something. The weight gainer shake, your depending on that too much. You want to replace that with healthy lean meat, chicken,tuna, lean beef, egg white etc.

Your PWO meal is not listed, it should consist of the whey protein and a small meal. There is a link in the diet section for bulking. It has a break down of necessary fat, carbs etc. It's a good read. Take a look and re-do your diet and post it here for a critique.

Good advice

There is no way that you need that much protein. I would actually bring up the carbs a bit, and eat more vegetables.

It's not the way i'd be dieting for gains OR cutting. Get your nutrients from real good, SUPPLEMENT with supplements. Look up the word (not being sarcastic) - these are meant to be supplemental to meals, not meal replacements. Why are you surprised you're losing on 2500 calories? That's not very high at all. I don't really know anybody who tries to gain on that amount. However, if you want us to advise on caloric intake, we need to know your bodyfat % and/or see some pics.

This is just a bad approach bro. This is not a BBing diet. Break this up into 6 meals/day - every 2.5 - 3 hours. Drop all the weight gainer crap and eat real food. Suck it up - your stomach will expand to accommodate the extra food. Supplement PWO with WPI, and possibly Casein before bed. Other then that, EAT FOOD.

I didn't go through each breakdown, but just looking at the totals, this is NOT a well thought out plan. 400g protein? 250g would probably be the max you need for your weight. Fat is WAY high IMO. But i'm confused - are you eating 2500 calories or 4000? Were you saying that 2500 of your 4000 is coming from weight gainer shakes? YUCK!!!

Dude, you don't need to eat 4000 calories to make gains, you just need to learn how to diet. Eat the right foods and I bet you'd make gains on 3000 calories. Then you wouldn't be so damn full. Sorry, don't mean to sound harsh, just trying to emphasize.
