Talked with my trainers and I should bounce back up to my normal weight of 235-240 once my body adjusts to eating normal again.....Looking to hit 270 or more by next July....not mentioning gear, I just keep that part out of my talks....anyways I won't jump to these amounts yet but will work my way gradually increasing cals each week but in the end this is what it looks like....really interested to see what Nark and even nova has to say here....but here goes.

    Meal 1:
    1 scoop whey
    1 cup oats
    1 banana
    blended....drink this as I'm prepping my breakfast

    Meal 2
    10 egg whites/ 3 yolks
    2 cups oats
    2 english muffins with natty pb
    coffee

    Meal 3
    10oz red meat
    2 sweet taters
    mixed greens

    Meal 4
    8oz chicken breast
    2 cups brown rice
    mixed greens
    personally i don't think brown rice is the best carb choice but it's your choice, good for getting lots of calories but not very nutrient dense and even cooked rice has phytotoxins that can slightly decrease protein synthesis, not much, but you're a competitor so i'm being picky, lol
    Meal 5
    10oz red meat
    2 sweet taters
    mixed greens
    can't argue with sweet taters and steak
    Meal 6(pre wo)
    1 ww bagel
    1 apple
    2 scoops whey
    how bout using 1 scoop of protein and drinking the other intraworkout so that your muscles have a constant stream of protein
    Meal 7(pwo shake)
    30g whey
    80g dextrose or waxy maize

    Meal 8(within 30 minutes pwo shake)
    10oz chicken breast
    2 cups white rice
    why white rice? it's not a good source of nutrients at all and is extremely processed
    Meal 9
    10oz lean red meat or 8oz salmon
    1 sweet tater
    mixed greens

    Meal 10(right before bed)
    2 cups ff cc
    2 tblspns applesauce

    Meal 11
    2am wake 2 scoops casien with water.

    Like I said I'm not just jumping on this but gradually working my way up to these amounts....seems like a lot to some but prety close to my diet last off-season, just bumped my macro's up on each meal a bit....so go ahead and pick at it and let's see what the comments are.
    nice bulking diet, can't find too many things i would change but i'll give my opinions

    btw, are you carb cycling or anything like that?

    I like brown rice...it works well with my body and pwo meal...using the white rice causes a nice slin spike which I'm looking for after my workouts to get things jumping....later on as I progress I'll switch out to red taters or just sweet taters and oats for most my carb sources....as for drinking a shake during my workout I use a new product out from Universal called Intra-Aid....kickass stuff. I don't carb cycle when bulking..I randonly adjust my macro's depending on how my body responds and so each week might be different...

    sounds good then, you definitely know what you are doing and it's refreshing to see a diet posted that doesn't give me carpal-tunnel when i'm critiqueing, good luck on the bulk and keep me posted if you don't mind, best of luck and if there's anything i can do to help just shoot me a pm
