ur diets not horrible. Do you know how to figure up your maintenance calories? (BMR/TDEE) My estimate is you're maintenance calories is somewhere around 2200-2600 calories, depending on how much cardio you're doin and your lifestyle,

I assume you're trying to put on mass since you're cycling so a good start is 500-700 calories over maintenance. Shoot for a 40/40/20 split of carbs/protien/fat to start then u can make tweaks

In my opinion you've overshot the calories by at least 600-800 and that might lead to some unwanted fat gains

Untill i know you're specific goals i won't really critique your diet other than i see you're relying on rice and bread as carbs, You'd be better off doing oats/sweet potatoes/brown rice as they're lower on the GI scale.

bf somewhere around 18% Trying to bulk at 18%, huh? You'd be better off shedding some of that bf first imo, and if you add a bit more fat while bulking, it's just going to be that much harder to cut in the future without cutting into lbm.

meal 1
4 slices wheat bread 12/52/4/280
2 eggs 12/0/10/140
chk breast 8 oz 46/0/5/220
I agree with scotty that there are better carb sources out there. I would shoot for the cleanest carbs possible (oats, sweet potato, brown rice, quinoa, lentils, etc), especially if you're already at a high bf%. Don't really see the need for two types of protein sources in one meal, but it's not that big a deal.

Workout.
preworkout
casein 24/4/1/110
milk 16/24/0/160
I think you'll find it much more beneficial to your workout if you would add a complex carb here to fuel it. This would be a nice place for that sweet potato. Personally, I would keep it real food whenever possible and save the shakes for post workout where it's most appropriate. Personally, I would make this meal something like lean beef and brown rice/sweet potato.
post workout
whey 24/7/0/110
milk 16/24/0/160
Again, you're already at a high bf%, so I would definitely drop the milk here; it's all sugar anyway. Drop it regardless if it's skim OR whole, and replace with a complex carb.
meal 2
chk breast 8 oz 46/0/5/220
rice 1/2 cup 6/70/0/300
veggie/bean mix 10/30/1/150
1/2 can of tuna 13/3/.5/50
Again, I don't see the need for 2 sources of protein here. Furthermore, given your stats, I would say the 8 oz. chicken will suffice as far as protein macros for this meal. I'll also agree with scotty that the cals are a bit high for your stats. You can rectify this by pulling out the several sources of pro/carb within one meal. In this case, drop the tuna and the bean mix. If you do this to most of your meals, I think you'll find your total macros to better suit your stats as per your goals.

meal 3
ground beef 23/0/8/170
wheat tortilla 4/24/2/130
1 Egg 6/1/4.5/70
Although it's wheat, it's still not the best carb source. Keep the ground beef, but make sure it's 93/7 lean or better. Replace the tortilla with something like brown rice or s. potato. I assume this is 4 oz of beef. I would increase the beef and drop the egg.

meal 4
chk breast 8 oz 46/0/5/220
rice 1/2 cup 6/70/0/300
veggie/bean mix 10/30/1/150
1/2 can of tuna 13/3/.5/50
Same critique as meal 2.


meal 5
ground beef 23/0/8/170
1 wheat tortilla 4/24/2/130
1 egg 6/1/4.5/70
Same critique as meal 3.

meal 6
2 eggs 12/2/9/140
Can tuna 26/3/1/100
Doesn't sound like it would go well together taste-wise. Personally, I would keep this meal your last pro/carb meal of the day, but if you want to stay with pro/fat, drop the eggs and add some evoo to your tuna. You can mix it all up with some romaine lettuce and make a salad if you like.

meal 7
casein 24/4/1/110
milk 16/24/0/160
Cassein's okay, but drop the milk for reasons that I've already posted above. You can add some natty pb to it if it fits into your macros.

I agree that your cals are high. Use the above advice to bring them down in the right areas, and see how it works for you. If you're not gaining, you can always increase slowly. Good luck, bro!

If you haven't started your cycle yet I would hold off until you post your pic and they can let you know what your bodyfat % is. If your realy at 18%+ I don't think your going to be happy with the results of your cycle. All your hard work and gains are going to be covered by a layer of fat. You should realy drop your body fat first and then do the lean bulk on cycle.

You don't need two different protein sources with each meal.
