Mind taking a look at my diet?

[S&S_ShovelHead]

What are the rest of your stats (height/BF%)?

Calories may be too high but I'll reserve judgement until I know your full stats. I do like your macro split however, nice job. If calories need to be brought down a bit, I'd start with fats. Honestly, I'd try and keep them around 100g. That'd only knock your calories down by about 500, but again, maybe you need 5k to bulk, idk.

If you really want to get nitpicky, I think food choices can be improved. That's a helluva lot of dairy, between the shakes and milk. Meal 2 - if anything, I'd go with 2 homemade bars and ditch the store bought one. They're usually loaded with a bunch of bs. I'd rather know exactly what I'm putting in my body. Meal 6 is pretty useless IMO... personally i'd get a real protein source in the mix. Why are there no veggies in your diet?

Are you planning to post progress pics and/or start a log of your bulk then cut prior to the show? I'd love to follow your progress. Looking thick in your avy, great job so far bro.

Cals may be a bit high, drop down to 4500 and go from there? I'd drop meal 6, it was just a filler meal for calories.

Any suggestions on better meals? Thats why I posted. No veggies because its just more eating and not getting in any calories. Do you recommend I throw some in?

Homemade p bars would go too fast at 2 a day and they take a whiile to make. Bought ones are just a convenience but I agree with what you say about them.

I think you can go lower than that to be honest. LBM is roughly 190lbs putting your TDEE somewhere in the neighborhood of 2900 calories unless you're very active besides the gym/cardio (e.g. organized sports, hiking, etc, heavy manual labor job, etc). Personally I'd drop to 4000 calories and monitor progress from that point. I think you could get a nice lean bulk going around 4000 calories.

Any suggestions on better meals?

Mainly just swapping a good portion of the dairy/shakes for more substantial foods... pork, turkey, etc. Of course, if you DO decide to reduce calories by 1000 or even 500, you can just ditch some of the dairy all together.

You could make better carb choices than the bread, but again, i'm nitpicking. But bodybuilding staples... potatoes, even wholegrain pasta for bulking.

I hear you, but from a nutritional standpoint, they're important. Fiber, vitamins/minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. Google free radicals and you'll learn why antioxidants are so important... not just for general health, but even body composition where bodyfat is concerned.

Beef Jerky is convenient too, and has a LOT less crap in it.
