    How is this for a diet plan (carb backloading) for a lean bulk

    I'm currently sitting at about 185 @10%bf. I'm also on Test prop @250-300mg a week. I eat six meals a day and I take in all my carbs post workout (meals 5 & 6). Protein is set at 300g and my carbs are set at body weight (186) and the rest are fats. My TDEE calories are 3096 so I'm consuming a 15% surplus which makes my daily intake at 3560 calories roughly. Macros are P-300, C-186, F-179. Let me know what you guys think. I'm not sure if my carbs should be higher and fats less, my main concern is since I'm carb backloading is that I get enough fat through most of the day for energy.

    Yea I would lower the fat. Raise the carbs a little. Protien is about right.

    But everyone's body is different. I would start with lowering the fat a little and raising the carbs a little. See how that goes for about 3 weeks and then change it up a little if its not tolerable for u.

    That is alot of fat but if it works for you that's fine. I shoot for 370 protein, 420 carbs and 90 fats when bulking

    I like this.... When my fat intake is that high I tend to bloat

    OP, I would guess that you have a high level of fat in all of your meals which isn't positively conducive to what you're trying to do.

    Allow your fats to come from your protein sources and maybe a final meal before bed at night. Otherwise stick to carbs to help you feel fuller, happier, and full of energy for workouts.
