Hey Ronnie,
Just wondering if you could elaborate a bit more on the blasting diet? on the blasting diet phase. Do you still recommend carb cycling for the blasting phase?
I'm 194lb, currently bulking, I'm getting around 3800-3900 calories a day, 285g protein, 320g carbs and 160g of fat. Currently gaining 1-2lb a week.
Typical day is:
Meal 1: 2 Whole Free Range Cage Free Eggs, 6 Egg Whites, 1 Cup Oats and 50g Frozen Berries, with sometimes a small amount of honey.
Meal 2: 170g Chicken Breast, 1 Cup Brown Rice, 1 Cup Vegetables (Broccoli, Carrot etc) and 25g Almonds.
Meal 3 (Pre workout): 50g Whey Protein Isolate (water) and 1 Large Apple.
Meal 4 (Post workout): 50g Whey Protein Isolate (water) and 60g Dextrose.
Meal 5: 160g Extra Lean Beef Mince, 1 Cup Wholemeal Pasta, 4 Leaf Salad with 6 Tblspn of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and 1 Tblspn of Balsamic Vinegar.
Meal 6: 50g Whey Protein Isolate (water) and 60g Natural Peanut Butter.
Calculated with CalorieKing software.
Reason I outlined my diet is because if you still recommend carb cycling, would this be my low days, then on say Wednesday and Saturday I would add more cals/carbs?
Thanks!

I would stay where you are at and just carb/calorie up some one day per week (it's always saturday for me). The one thing you should consider changing is substituting the isolate protein shakes for "carb master yogurt/egg white shakes".
Thanks!
