my comment was on the thread starter. if you are reaching your goals then i have no comment on your diet. one mistake a lot of people make is they are afraid of putting on a little fat. if you are trying to bulk the best diet will always put some fat on your frame. if you are ready to compete or you want to look cut for any short period of time then you cut in the shortest time possible and maintain the best you can. then when its over you start eating like a horse again. beef and whole grain is most of my bulking diet. my cut diet would be a lot of fish and minimal carbs

Im not sure I can eat anymore than i do! lol. I completely understand what you are saying though. And this waxy maize stuff...what's that all about? I hear a lot about it tho. Anyway, here is what ive been doing do far the past couple weeks:

wake up 7:30am
1/2 glass tea
2 packets of oatmeal
6 egg whites

workout between
8:15 & 8:30

Post workout
8oz turkey burger
2 scoops whey protein w/ 10g of glutamine
1 cup brown rice
1 bananna

12:00pm
12oz chicken breast
1 cup brown rice
1cup green beans

2:00pm (before work)
3 4oz turkey burgers w/bun
2 scoops whey
1 cup diced sweet pots (taking those out. tastes like shit)

5pm (1st break at work)
4 egg whites
1 cup brown rice
2 scoops whey

7pm (lunch break)
1 cup green beans
12 oz turkey or chicken
bananna

9pm (last break)
2 scoops whey

1130pm (before bed)
16oz soy milk

seems to be working nicely actually. I can see my body changing, and feeling myself get stronger. Im 100% positive that there are better ways to eat. However im a very picky eater, so its tough to find a lot of foods that i actually like. The rice is stretching it, and the sweet potatoes were just too much. If I can nail this down, im really afraid to see that will happen to me. Im growing like a weed as it is.

sounds good then. as you grow you may find you need more. if and when you do you may consider this. you have to drink plenty of water all day any way. i wouldnt add much to the full feeling to add a little wey powder to it. if you cant get over the bad taste try adding some crystal light.

I realize that I need to add different meats in there, but fish is 100% out of the question. Hell no!

The odd thing about getting bigger is that im not gaining hardly any weight. I had a lot of body fat when i first went back to the gym. I feel that im burning away of lot of that and toning up well. I can also see a size difference. Im going to refine a not of what i have going on in my diet. Yes, I know its a mess.....ill get it fixed and see what happens.

hearing that tells me you are cutting not bulking. if you want to bulk like you said in your first post you need to add food prot/carb and cut cardio. that last meal in my opinion is way to light. i would at least do a good 50g shake

add in some EFAs for some meals.
1g of fat has 9 cals.
1g of carbs and protein have 6cals.
u will get more cals from fat that will help with your bulking and fats usually don make u as full as carbs.
just be sure to keep protein/carb meals split from protein/fat meals
