1st time bulking

[Nij]

I started working out about six months ago. Went from 205 lbs to 170 lbs. I was just over 30% bf, and I am now in the mid-teens. During those months, I pretty much just ate cleaner, and made sure to go to the gym five days a week. Two weeks ago I started my first bulk, and for some reason I am just now asking for insight, and I am 5'10.

-Meal 1: 2 Eggs, 1/2 Potato
-Meal 2: Chicken Breast, 3/4 Cup of Rice
-Meal 3: IMMENSE Mass Gaining Shake (1/2 serving)
-Meal 4: Chicken Breast, 3/4 Cup of Rice
-Meal 5: IMMENSE Mass Gaining Shake (1/2 serving)
-Meal 6: Ground Beef Patty(med), 3/4 Cup of Rice

I stick to this meal plan 6 days a week, while drinking at least a gallon of water a day, and it comes to be about 3200 calories. Does this diet plan look good?
-I'm also taking an ECA stack to reduce fat-gains.

Can you list the macro's for the full day.

Also list the macro's for that IMMENSE *shudders at the name* weight gainer

You should, ideally, be weighting the chicken breast and ground beef patty (med). No way you're gonna know for sure what you're getting/doing without breaking out the food scales.

-Meal 1: 2 Eggs(156 calories, 10g fat, 12g protein, 1.2g carbs), 1/2 Potato(80 calories, 0.1g fat, 2.1g protein, 18g carbs)
-Meal 2: Chicken Breast(153 calories, 9g fat, 17g protein, 0 carbs), 3/4 Cup of Rice(162 calories, 1.4g fat, 3.75g protein, 33.75g carbs)
-Meal 3: IMMENSE Mass Gaining Shake (1/2 serving)(445 calories, 3g fat, 30g protein, 74g carbs)
w/. 12 oz Skim Milk(124.5 calories, 0.3g fat, 12g protein, 18g carbs), 1/2 Cup of Blueberries(92.5 cal, 0.25g fat, 0.55g protein, 10.5g carbs), 4 tbsp P. Butter(376 calories, 32g fat, 16g protein, 14g carbs)
-Meal 4: *same as meal 2*
-Meal 5: *same as meal 3*
-Meal 6: Ground Beef Patty(med)(204 calories, 16g fat, 15g protein, 0g carbs), 3/4 Cup of Rice(162 calories, 1.4g fat, 3.75g protein, 33.75g carbs)

Here it is, roughly though.

I don't have a scale, this is my first time bulking, and I put on weight rather easy.

I only plan on bulking for two months because my goal atm is to just get a little more lean muscle mass, then I'm going to attempt my first time cutting.

Sorry, I meant totals. Can you add them up for me?

I hate your gainer btw. Finish it off and then start making your own, whey (or a blend) powdered oats and a banana. Cheaper and better.

What results have you had over the last 2 weeks?

The world would be a better place if everyone took this advice!!!

Thanks

3308 Calories

119.4g Fat

191.45g Protein

353.45g Carbs

As far as results go, I can definitely lift a considerably larger amount than before eating this many calories. I haven't weighed myself as of yet. I've been waiting to hit the two week mark. I'm hoping I've gained 2-3 pounds. I started at 169 lbs.

If I were to take the shake out, that would be almost 900 calories I am missing out on, so what EXACTLY would I be able to replace it with? I am going to the grocery store later, so I'm prepared to purchase whatever I need. Thanks!

Replace it with either food or what I suggested, make your own shake.

I think your fats are a little high, I wouldn't want mine above 70g at that calorie intake. If you want you can add another 20g of protein but it's not essential and add the rest to carbs. Of course, if your current macro"s are working well then there is no great reason to change.

We all have different metabolisms but 3300 would be maintenance for me and I'm about 30lbs heavier. I don't have a slow metabolism either. Just be careful and keep an eye on your bodyfat, I wouldn't want to gain more than 1lb per week unless I was cycling.
