MEAL # 1 PRO CARB FAT CAL
5 whole eggs 33 2.5 27 390
2 cup oats 12 56 8 332
That's 35 grams of fat in one sitting. Way too much. I would drop 3 whole eggs and replace them with 5-6 egg whites to keep protein the same. Otherwise a good meal.
MEAL # 2
10oz Chicken Breast 60 3 3 300
8oz Sweet Potato 5 52 2 225
MEAL # 3
8oz Lean Meat 59 0 26 490
1 Cup Brown Rice 5 46 1.6 218
MEAL # 4
10oz Chicken Breast 60 3 3 300
8oz Sweet Potato 5 52 2 225
MEAL # 5
8oz Salmon 49 0 26 466
1 Cup Brown Rice 5 46 1.6 218
I would keep this either a pro/carb OR pro/fat meal; not both. I know you're bulking, but it's best to keep carbs and fats separate as much as possible. When insulin levels are spiked, dietary fat is more likely to be stored as adipose tissue. Again, not a huge deal since you're bulking, but be careful. If you notice too much fat gain, this would be the first thing I'd change.
MEAL # 6 (THIS MEAL WILL FOLLOW DIRECTLY AFTER MY WORKOUTS)
Protein Shake 53 10 5 300
Banana 1 29 0 110
1 Scoop Natty PB 5 3 8 100
The PB is going to do nothing but slow protien absorption, which you don't want immediately following a workout; you want to soak up as many nutrients as fast as possible in this state. Also, the banana is mostly fructose, which is basically sugar, not to mention, bananas are relatively high on the GI scale. You'd be much better off replacing it with a complex carb. You could just add some oats to your shake for convenience sake.
If possible, I would add one more meal in before bed. Your post workout meal is going to be absorbed rapidly, and you'll have nothing to hold you over through the night. Try to add a pro/fat meal right before bed. I would stick your salmon here.

You didn't mention your stats so I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say protein and carbs around. 2 grams of protein per pound of lbm is plenty. Anything more, you're just emptying your wallet for no good reason. Judging by your profile pic, I don't see 175 pounds of lean on you; I could be wrong. Either way, I'd still switch them around.
With meal #3 I may swap the rice out with a salad somedays. Also My meal #1 may vary (not too much) but some morning I may make an omlette and include some peppers rather then hard boiling.
The salad is not a good alternative for the rice. You're basically replacing a complex carb full of nutrients with water, sugar, and fiber. If you want to keep the salad in your diet, throw it in with the salmon for your last meal. Be sure to use dark greens; iceberg lettuce is, like I said above, just water and sugar. Some green veggies for fiber wouldn't hurt in a couple meals either.
As for cheat meals. I will allow myself to have one every other week.
Thanks in advance :thumbsup:
edit sorry the post didn't come out as I wanted and the break down is so close together.
