I wake up once a night and early in the morning (not on purpose) and when I do I have 30g of iso whey protein.

Sorry about the double post but in between those meals I eat a lot of whole wheat bread, random fruit, and kashi go lean cereal.

What is your question? What are you trying to do, bulk or cut? Need some more info on you?

[cssaddict17]

Sorry, I was told to post my diet in the diet section. I'm just trying to add muscle with little to no fat. I'm 5,11 175lbs 8% bf.

EDIT: Also should I be posting my workout routines here? Here as in this thread.

[tbody66]

post pictures, that bf% is hard to believe, especially with the diet posted. Figure out your macros and post them. Yes please post your workout routine here. Also how old are you and what is your training experience? Also like to know the end goal, I'm presuming it's bulk, since you are so low in bodyfat.

Ok. , without knowing the specific macro's or your calorie maintenance level, I'll just give you my general thoughts. This isn't a bad first meal.

2nd meal - 30-35g worth of egg whites or chicken or any other lean meat I can find, 4 oranges, 4 apples, maybe some whole wheat bread.

Get rid of the 4 oranges and whole wheat bread. Too many Carbs here. Try changing this to a pro/fat meal. ei Chicken, salad, almonds.

3rd meal - 30-35g worth of egg whites or chicken or any other lean meat I can find, a cup of oatmeal and some fruit. 2 omega 3 tabs (Pre workout meal)
I would get rid of the fruit here also. Save the simple carbs for your first meal and pwo meal.

4th meal - I eat 2 bananas after I finish my last set in the gym. When I get home I have 30g iso whey protein and some more low glycemic carbs if I need them. 2.5g creatine monohydrate.

Not a bad meal. Can't go into too much detail without knowing the exact macro's for each item.

5th meal - 30-35g worth of egg whites or chicken or any other lean meat I can find, lots of fruit maybe 3 orange 3 apples, some whole wheat bread

Same as before. Change this from a Pro/carb meal to a Pro/ fat meal. Get rid of the oranges and bread.

6th meal - 30-35g worth of egg whites or chicken or any other lean meat I can find, lots of fruit maybe 3 orange 3 apples.

Same as above. may want to look at adding some red meat into your diet, later in the day.

7th meal - 30-35g worth of casein protein from yogurt or cottage cheese. half a box of kashi go lean cereal. Multivitamin, calcium, 2 omega 3 tabs, vit c, vit d, lecthin, Melatonin. Then I head to bed for 8-9 hrs sleep.

This should also be a pro/fat meal. Get rid of the cerial and replace it with good fat.

I wake up once a night and early in the morning (not on purpose) and when I do I have 30g of iso whey protein.

I'm sure one of the diet experts will chime in and give you more detail, but this is what I think at first glance. You are going to have to post the macros of each meal to help them get your diet dialed in. If not they will only be able to help you with generalities.

It's not a horrible diet for someone who is just after living a healthy lifestyle, but not something suited for a bodybuilder. I agree with tbody; it's hard to believe you have those kind of stats with a diet like this. Pics would be nice. I will agree with nephets that you need to get rid of most of that fruit. Like I said, it's healthy, yes...but as far as bb-ing, we are trying to give our bodies optimum energy throughout the day and keep our muscle glycogen full. Fruit will fill up the liver, but will not do much for the muscles, which is why we like to stick to complex carbs (sweet potato, rice, yams, oats, etc...). I do, however, disagree with nephets in replacing those carb meals with fat meals. You are trying to bulk and are already at a low bf%, so keep all meals pro/carb except for last meal of the day before bed.

Read through the stickies here, along with other members' threads to get an idea of what a typical bb's diet should look like. Then, come back with a revised diet with macros for each meal and total cals for the whole day.

[Nephets]

Musclestack is right on the money with that one. For some reason I had cutting in my head.

[gbrice75]

As the guys said, repost your diet with time of day for each meal and accurate macros, and we can help you sort it out further. At a glance, it's not great but i've seen much worse. There is definitely room for improvement.

Agree about seeing pics - I have a feeling your bodyfat is higher than you think.

[tbody66]

go to my thread and look at my current diet, simple and easy, you can add some protein to each of the meals and continue to do your protein during the night to up your cals and protein to hit your goals, but I can't say this with certainty without seeing those pics.

Hi cssaddict17,
After collecting your details in 3 posts I have found what you are up to
I think you are having great diet. What exercises are you doing to gain muscles.

So even tho oranges and apples have a very low glycemic index I shouldn't be eating them? Apples = 38, Oranges = 44 (As far as I know).

Basically I switch up my routine a lot in the gym but 3-5 sets of each exercise 4-14 reps (usually 8). I have an ipod touch app that gives me a shitload of exercises for every body group.

Day 1 - I'll work out chest and triceps
Day 2 - Back and biceps
Day 3 - Legs and abs
Day 4 - Maybe I'll take it off or maybe I'll work out shoulders and triceps
Day 5 - Depending on if I took the last day off I'll either be off today or workout shoulders and triceps.

I do these exercises to gain muscles - > ab reverse curl, weighted crunch, hanging leg raise, planks, twisting crunch, weighted bench dips, cable triceps pushdown, concentration dumbell curl, dips, dumbell bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, hammer curls, lat pulldowns, lying tricep extensions, overhead bar press, seated preacher curls, shrugs, wrist curls, pullups and assisted pullups, cable seated rows, chinps and assisted chinups, barbell bench press, decline dumbell bench press, dumbell bench press, dumbell flys, leg press, leg extension, calf raises, bar military press, barbell front raise, dumbell front raise, dumbell shoulder press.

Apples and oranges have a lot of sugar in them so you may want to cut back on them. You may want to add squats and deadlifts to your workout. They will help put on some mass.

[cssaddict17]

I would but my back is completely ****ed.

[Narkissos]

Moderate protein, low fat, and very high carbs.

Not impossible that you're that lean (as my diet year round up til my early 20s was anywhere between 500-1000gr carbs, and <>175gr protein, low fat)... i'm curious as to your age though.

Not a bad diet, depending on what you're looking for (as well as how long you've been eating in this manner), but neither is it optimal.

Some small tweaks and it could be though.

I'll reserve my thoughts until I've seen pics.

Full-length would be suitable... front, rear, and side profile.

Regards.

[cssaddict17]

I have a beast of a metabolism. I'll post pics if I'm able to find my digital camera. I have only been eating that much lately. I was able to do squats today without back pain.
