Man...I think I'll give this a run. Chuck steak, huh? Wonder how cheap that shit is at Costco. And Barley? Does it go bad?
A lb. of lettuce a day is a bit much. Might suffice to use half of that, considering I don't eat veggies at all these days. Why is it so important, anyway? I mean, I know it is, but I never understood perfectly why.
Also, sorry to add on more stuff but...would this diet be healthy in general? I mean, other than the typical American diet, would it keep one in good health? Anything else that should be added for that, while maintaining a relatively cheap cost? It seems to have most of what someone would need. It seems ideal for bulking. It's clean, cheap, and easy.
If I were to use a multi-vit/min what kind would you recommend? I hear the bioavailability of Centrum is shit.

tom, the green veggies provide alot of vitamins, minerals and photo nutrinets are are not in great abundance in other sources. If nutrition is proper even a poor mutli-vitamine helps. I use one source personally. Yes, this type of diet is very healthy, and quit balanced, although adding a bit of dairy or a calumim suppliment would be a good idea. Overall this type of diet would work well for someone who is in a high risk category for diabetes or heart problems due to their family history. Although many would debate the high fat intake on the later. Of course its very high in "good" fats.
The reason chuck steak was selected was due to the price, feel free to substitute another cut. And again this is just a rough outline as an example. Feel free to adjust fat, carb, protien and caloric intake to meet your personal needs.

Well, it seems like a pretty solid diet for me, so if I can run out to Costco soon, I'll check the prices and see what I come up with. I definitely won't have a pound of lettuce a day. Do you cook it or anything? Or just rinse and eat it?
Yeah, the only issue I would see would be the meat. Isn't there a widespread concern about red meat causing problems? Not that whole mad cow disease shit, but supposedly enough red beef over long periods can cause prostate cancer.
Oh, and also BBF, do you think your being enhanced would have anything to do with your needing so many calories? I don't know anyone who even has such a metabolism that they can eat 6000-7000 and stay thin when bulking. I don't see how a body can utilize all the nutrients.

Also man, why do 43% of the cals come from fat? Isn't that too much? And only 23 from protein. The carb count seems steep too.
I weigh 180 or so, and am looking to add mass, obviously. So, do you think I should lower the cals a bit or no?

Sorry but also, BBF, where did you figure the steak adds up to that amount? Fitday shows steak (doesn't have different cuts) being 1358 cals, and 209 protein, 54.25 fat. That's for 24 oz. (or 1.5 lbs, like you listed). I did boneless, cooked, lean only eaten. You did say you trim away the fat. So what's the deal?

The dangers of red meat are over-rated... they can be balanced by watching GI as well as yoru efa intake. Any correlation betweent red meat and prostate cancer would probably have something to do with red meat beign show to elevate testosterone levels, and elevated testosterone levels having a correlation with prostate cancer.
No, a natural individual should not consum these many calories.
