I'm changing my diet from a Cutting Diet to a Lean Gainer with a little "help" as well. I'll be taking a prohormone which will require an uptick in carb consumption. Below are my stats
Age: 33
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 228
BMR: 2218
Current kcal consumption: 2100 cals
Current cutting diet
1. Fasted Cardio
2. 50g protein, 16g fat
3. 50g protein, 16g fat
4. 50g protein, 16g fat
5. Workout
6. PWO 1 - 30g protein, 60g dextrose
7. PWO 2 - 30g protein, 60g complex carb and green veggies
8. 50g protein, 16g fat
My protein intake is either chicken, egg whites, and the occasional shrimp/lean fish
My fats are either almonds, cheese, or salad dressing
Here's a more detailed example of what my plan looks like to Lean Bulk. Please critique:
1. 50g Protein, 16g Fat (Egg whites, ham, cheese) 344cals
2. 50g Protein, 16g Fat (Whey, water and almonds) 344cals
3. 50g Protein, 16g Fat (Chicken Breast w/ lettuce and ranch dressing) 344cals
4. 25g Protein, 50g Carbs (Whey, water, Ezekiel Bread) 300cals
Workout
5. PWO 1: 40g protein, 80g dextrose - 480cals
6. PWO 2: 40g protein, 80g complex carbs (Chicken Breast w/ rice, oats, or rice pasta ; veggies as well) 480cals
7. 50g Protein, 16g Fat (Casein shake w/ almonds and flax powder) 344cals
305g Pro - 1220cals
64g Fat - 576cals
210g Carbs - 880cals
This only gets me to 2676 total calories, 400 above my BMR, and almost 700 below my TDEE.
Not sure where to add. Perhaps another meal but I'm already at 7. I would also like to keep carbs separate from fat as my body has done great with this principle in the past while cutting. Would like to apply it to this clean bulk as well. Maybe this will be enough since I'm supplementing with the prohormone? I'm unsure.
I'm all ears...
