maintaining BF while still gaining

[BulkCity]

Age: 19
height: 172cm
Weight: 77kg
Bf: 12 - 14%
Goal: To add lean mass

I'm currently trying to maintain my Bf (Even dropping it down to 10%) while still gaining muslce, My current diet looks something like this

Meal 1:
150g Kangaroo meat
2 slices of Multigrain Gluten free bread
20 Almonds

Meal 2:
200g Tuna
Apple
Banana

Meal3:
150g Chicken
sweet potatoe
Brocoli
grapes

Meal 4:
International protien Extreme mass shake

Meal 5: (Pre workout)
250g Red meat
Whole grain gluten free pasta

Meal 6: (Post workout
Creatine, Protein shake, Night multivitamen

Bed.

I no Meal 4 is a little shitty but food is not an option at all as im usually in the car driving home from work, it still has adequate protein and complex carbs so better than having nothing..

Any thoughts please share

What is your TDEE and what are the macros in the diet you have listed?

[boxingfan30]

it can be done, but gaining while keeping stable bf% is not very easy and takes A LOT of tweaking of your diet which is why most people bulk in the winter and start cutting around April or so. Besides, you're 19, you should have no issues keeping your bf low.. your metabolism should still be plenty high.

As super chimp said, we need your TDEE and your macro split. Then we can begin to help you recomp!

Protien: 183g

It depends on your carb sensitivity... only you can know that

for me, 180g protein is too low (you should be at 250g .. 1.5g per lb)

I make lean gains at as low as 150g carbs a day.. but I'm very sensitive.. I know people who eat like 400g and make great lean gains
