    First Post 2 Diet questions

    Hi everyone,

    this is my first post, although i've been following the discussions on the forums for a while without an account.

    I'm 25yrs, 6ft 1inch, 14BF% - Not looking to start steroids anytime soon (bulking)

    __________

    My first diet consisted of 6 meal a day (Macros are correct)

    Breakfast: Protein shake, Oats, 2 eggs, 2toasts, tomato, lean sausage, mushrooms
    First break: 350gram stake with broccoli, corn, four beans, 1cup brown rice
    Lunch: (same ^)
    Pre Gym: 100gram chicken, 1cup brown rice, broccoli, sweet potato, oj
    GYM.
    Post Gym: Protein shake, 2 cans tuna, mayo, can of corn, four beans
    Dinner: Varried but always had good amount of protein (fish,chicken,red meats) a lot of veggies and brown rice or pasta or some carbs.

    _____________

    Now my question is the following, the above diet although had result; was difficult for me to maintain due to work and my routine. I realised when bulking many say to consumer double your weight in protein and have 6+ meal and cups of brown rice. However would the diet below work as an alternative, presuming the macros/calories in-take is correct?

    Breakfast

    Protein shake

    Bagels
    2 medium bagel

    Chicken breast 150grams

    Plain yogurt

    Banana

    1 cup Whole milk

    2 cheese slices


    Meal 2

    Porterhouse steak 400grams

    Brown rice - 1 cup

    Corn can

    Broccoli - 1 cup

    Mushrooms - 1 cup

    Olive oil 1 tablespoon


    Meal 3 - Post workout

    Tuna 2 can

    Mayo - 1 tablespoon

    Protein Shake

    Plain yogurt - 1 cup

    Apples, raw - 1 large

    Almonds - 20grams

    2 pieces wholemeal toast


    DINNER ALWAYS VARIOUS; however it always incoperates carbs (pasta or rice) and protein (fish,chicken,Red meats)


    Meal 4:

    Cottage cheese 1 bowl

    Strawberries - 1 cup

    Peaches 1 cup slices

    Grapes, red or green - 1 cup

    ______________

    Ultimately i do want to go back to my previous diet, however i need to be in a situation where i can maintain and commit. The big difference in the meals are the reduction of Rice and hard Proteins from diet 1 to 2 and the number of meals. However believe it or not both diets do meet my macros of bulking an are over the level of calories i require to bulk.

    p.s sorry for poor english, its my second language.

    Any help is appreciated - THANKS!

    Please list macro's for this diet and what do you weigh?

    1.5g per lb of LEAN body mass is sufficient in terms of protein intake.

    Sorry first time forgot to add macro's and my weight.

    i Weight 75kg rather skinny... naturally skinny and tall.

    i went to a nutritionist and for my current height and activity levels she recommended a diet of 3400+ for bulking.

    ----

    Macros - having difficulties finding macros for my first diet (the one with a lot of brown rice and proteins); HOWEVER my new diet; is the following (new diet = one with bagels as breakfast)

    Breakfast
    172.7g Carbs
    17g Fat
    54.4g Protein
    1052.6 Calories

    Meal 2:
    75.9g Carbs
    66.8g Fat
    65.3g Protein
    1154.7 Calories

    Meal 3:
    74g Carbs
    21.3g Fat
    99.2g Protein
    880.2 Calories

    Dinners - Unknown - however always contain a form of carbs pasta or rice etc and protein fish/red meat/chicken + Veggies

    Meal 4:
    62g Carbs
    6.6g Fat
    30.2g Protein
    407.3 Calories

    Combined the my new diet i'm asking the question about has the following Macros: (^) - (theses macros don't included dinner i would roughly estimate another 600+ calories at least)
    384.5g Carbs
    111.7g Fat
    249.1g Protein
    3494.7 Calories

    I personally after doing some more research the past hour or so, protein is kinda to high and fats could be lowered...
