    Split pea soup diet.

    My stats:
    35, 5'7", 160 lbs, 12-14% bf

    goal: lean bulk
    daily caloric need: 2,641 (according to fitday.com)

    I'm having a hard time powering down all the meat protein and rice/bread that I need, so I'm taking a soup approach. I can power down 7 cans of fat-free split pea soup, no problem.
    Here's what I'm looking at:

    8am - 2 cans of split pea soup
    260 cal / 0 fat / 48 carbs / 18 pro
    11am - 2 cans of split pea soup
    260 cal / 0 fat / 48 carbs / 18 pro
    2pm - 2 cans of split pea soup
    260 cal / 0 fat / 48 carbs / 18 pro
    3:30pm - workout (1hr weights/30min cardio)
    5pm - pwo shake (whey isolate/1 cup oats)
    311 cal / 5.1 fat / 54.3 carbs / 13 pro
    6pm - 1 can split pea soup
    130 cal / 0 fat / 24 carbs / 9 pro
    9pm - 8 oz beef (added olive oil 4 tbsp)
    602 cal / 93.6 fat / 0carbs / 57.2 pro
    11pm - cottage cheese and casein shake
    378 cal / 6 fat / 20.9 carbs / 56.5 pro
    Totals:
    3,811 cal / 105.5 fat / 413.7 carbs / 304 pro

    Any thoughts?

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong but another problem would be the fact that split pea soup would be an incomplete protein source and it's your first three meals of the day. Not to mention the sodium from all the soup has to be sky high. You would also probably be sh!ting your pants all day long. Gonna have to man up and force the meat down the hatch bro!
