anyways as everyone knows the gains after a diet so strict are great and so far i have been following this diet. NOT THE SAME AMOUNT AS LISTED. AS I STARTED EATING LESS AND WORKED MY WAY UP TO ALMOST THE DIET BELOW.
First off you are a small guy (no offense), by saying this you probably came on stage at around 155-160, therefore you have less than 150lbs LBM.
In order for you to bulk it would take probably 3000-3500 calories max and to keep your glycogen stores full probably around 250-300carbs/day. So I'll base your diet off this information.
I am 5'9 220 approx 9-10% right now in off season and I never exceed 3800 calories on a regular basis and I'm growing just fine and keeping BF to a minimum
BULK DIET Meal 1:This is a liquid meal ofcourse it doesn't fill you up. Full of sugar and crap, your body won't utilize hardly any of it but rather store all the excess calories to be used later in the day, or as fat. I'd recommend to have a solid meal here, ex.
10egg whites
1cup oats
1banana
8oz skim milk
Cook and eat your meal, don't drink it
This will land you around 450calories
serious mass shake- 55gms protein, 245gms carbs, 5gms fat.
1 cup of oat meal- 10gms protein, 54gms carbs, 9gms fat.
1 bananna- 1gms protein, 25gms carbs, 0gms fat.
2 cup of skim milk- 16gms protein, 24gms carbs, 1.2gms fat.
Total: protein: 82
carbs:348
fats: 12
CALORIES: 1828
Meal 2: I like meal two, I'd up the steak to 6oz and throw in some vegetables
3oz of cooked steak- 26gms protein, 0gms carbs, 5gms fat.
1 cup of brown rice- 4gms protein,44gms carbs, 2gms fat.
Total: protein: 30
carbs: 44
fats: 7
CALORIES: 359
Meal 3: Up the chicken to 6-8oz, otherwise it's a good meal as well
4oz chicken- 35gms protein, 0gms carbs, 2gms fat.
1 cups of brown rice- 4gms protein, 44gms carbs, 2gms fat.
Total: protein:39
carbs: 44
fats:4
CALORIES: 368
Meal 4: Double the steak again here and add a vegetable for fiber to help digestion. Broccoli or greenbeans are a good choice
3oz of cooked steak-26gms protein, 0gms carbs, 5gms fat.
1Tbs of flax oil-14gms fat.
Total: protein:26
carbs: 0
fats: 19
CALORIES: 275
Meal 5: This is ok I guess considering you're about to workout but I'd still go with a solid protein source such as chicken tenderloin/turkey tenderloin/tilapia/tuna (something that will be easily digested other than whey whey protein shake- 44gms protein, 6gms carbs, 4gms fat.
1 cup of skim milk- 8gms protein, 12gms carbs, 0.6gms fat.
2 slices of wheat bread- 8gms protein, 38gms carbs, 4gms fat
Total: protein: 60
carbs: 56
fats: 9
CALORIES: 545
------------------------------------------WORK OUT-----------------------------------------------------
Meal 6: No need for 100g of dextrose, try taking in 30-50g PWO, also never seen a whey protein that has so much fat, I'd choose another brand
Whey protein shake-50gms protein, 6.5gms carbs, 4.5gms fat.
100 gms of dextrose- 100gms carbs
Total: protein:50
carbs:107
fats:4.5
CALORIES: 669
Meal 7: Up the protein to 8oz and add another green fiberous vegetable
4oz chicken- 35gms protein, 0gms carbs, 2gms fat.
1 cups of brown rice- 4gms protein, 44gms carbs, 2gms fat.
Total: protein:39
carbs: 44
fats:4
CALORIES: 368
Meal 8: I doubt you're eating this meal but rather drinking it.. cook your food for slower digestion, especially before an 8hour fast when sleeping.. I prefer a solid meal here anyhow, something like Salmon/steak/lamb/pork etc with a fiberous vegetable
4oz cottage cheese 1%- 14gms protein, 3gms carbs, 1gms fat.
4 oz of eggwhites- 12gms protein, 1gms carb, 1gms fat
½ Tbs of flax oil- 7gms fat
Total: protein:26

GRAN TOTAL: 4617kcl-(protein 352) (carbs 647) (fats 69)
