    Need Constructive Criticism and help on Diet.

    Harris Benedict Formula: 66+ (1071) + (876) – (136) = 1877
    1877 x 1.725= 3238
    Calories to maintain current weight @ 172lbs, height at 5’9”, 20 years of age.

    I'm right on target with my diet but I know i need help somewhere in there, if I want to put on a lb of muscle a week i need to eat about 3740 calories a day. At this moment I'm at approx. 3530. Any suggestions? I'm open to any constructive criticism and i really want to get this done by tonight. I currently work from 8am-8:30pm @ a dealership so I'm on the tightest schedule of my life and all i do is work diet and workout, thanks to all responses.

    CARBS!!! drop the PB and eat a cup of oats. i think you should add about 4 oz of lean protein so you can have something that digests slower than that whey.

    Workout (9:45)

    Meal 7 PPWO (11:30)
    • 1 scoop whey (285/40/10/2) with no fat milk
    • 80g Glycomaize (280/0/70/0)
    Macronutrients (565/37/101/2)

    have two scoops of whey here. it looks like this is your last meal too, but i think at least half of your protein and carbohydrate requirements here should be a food source other than a shake. half glycomaize- half oats, and half whey half chicken. ideally, you would have another meal after this but it should work.

    that should up your cals a bit. you could also experiment with making meal 3 a pro/fat meal to up your fats a bit. that might allow you to up the cals a bit more too. you have a good diet, so put it to use an make changes if they are necessary. you should be able to tell after 2-3 weeks.
