yeah bro , you gotta find a way to add in some carbs . Even if it is high glycemic , it is better than nothing .
See, you go to bed at 9:30 and wake up 4:30 , so it is 7 hours without any food . Then you go to the gym to train , lift heavy ass weights without ANY CARBS ? Your strenght will go down bro ... eat some carbs in your first meal , even if it is gatorade . The ideal would be low glycemic but if you can't , go for high glycemic , WAY better than no carbs ...
About the diet , It looks good , but for detalied info I would have to ask how many cals are you eating and what is your BMR .
when bulking I follow a simple rule , it is never good to mix in fats and carbs. Well you can but it gotta be extremely low glycemic carbs and good fats .
So , I do it like this :
meal 1- protein + carbs
meal 2- protein + carbs
WEIGHT TRAINING .
meal 3 ( ASAP after training ) - protein + carbs - high glycemic carbs here and ZERO FAT .
meal 4- protein + carbs
meal 5 - protein + carbs + EFA
meal 6- protein + EFA
When bulking , since I am an endomorph , I end up eating 3.200 cals only . and I am 210 pounds .
Since you are an ecto , I think you could bump up the cals , but keep in mind protein builds muscle not excess calories . You don't need to EAT way above your BMR to build muscle . Just make sure you don't eat below your BMR and keep your protein high , and you should pack on the muscle without gaining any fat ...
if you are concerned about fat gain I would suggest something like this :
Example , let's say your BMR is 2.500 cals for example .
and let's say you spend 600 cals working out ED .
To grow without gaining fat you would have to eat 3.100 cals ED ( 2.500 from your BMR + 600 extra cals that you burn on the gym )
EVerytime you EAT more than that you are risking FAT GAIN .
EVerytime you EAT below that , and you are risking to not grow , it is possible to grow eating below your BMR , macro and fonz already explained why , but it is very hard , specially for an ectomorph .
Hope that helps![Wink ;) ;)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png)
