Critique my BULK diet. Need help

[ConanX]

Hello guys.

I'm 4 weeks into PCT now from my last cycle which was a lean bulk/cutter (yeah you can do that with tren lol). At the end of my cycle I was around 218 at 8-9% bodyfat. I am now at 223 at around 11% bodyfat. I increased my cals during PCT so that I could hold onto the size gains I made. I understood there would be a fat increase.

So, I won't be touching gear for a little bit and would like to maintain my gains or even add some size. Maintenance though is most important because I don't want to lose the muscle I gained from my last cycle.

5:30AM: 2.5 (24 grams whey each scoop, no carbs) scoops protein powder, 1/2 cup oats, banana.
7AM: Omellete with 6 egg whites, 1 yolk (veggies included), 1 cup oatmeal or 2 pieces of whole grain toast
9:30AM: 2 scoops protein powder with water.
11:30AM: Either Salmon or grilled chicken breast with a sweet potato and broccoli. Subsitute is a whole wheat wrap with grilled chicken and 6 egg whites with 1 slice low-fat lace swiss.
2:30PM: Same as above.
4PM: 2 scoops protein powder with water.
6PM: Same thing as my lunch meal but sometimes brown rice as carb or extra carbs and bigger pieces of meat/fish.
7PM: pre-workout, shake with 2 scoops whey and 1/2 cup oats.
8:30PM: post-workout. Shake with 2 scoops whey, 1/2 cup oats, 1 banana, 1 slice white bread (for insulin spike which I'm not too sure about...)
9:30/10PM: Either more whey protein and oats, or I'll cook up an omelette or make chicken or something.
11PM: Right before bed, 2.5 scoops casein protein with skim milk.

I JUST realized I am eating f'in 11 meals a day! Wow lol....

So yeah, help me clean this up a bit and make it more effective for keeping/gaining muscle with minimal fat loss. I know that there are a lot of problems with this. Maybe the eating is too frequent. Not enough fats? Too much carbs or protein?

I want to start using lean beef. Trader Joe's sells beef patties with a 96/4 fat rating so I think those look good with some ezekial bread for a lunch?

Again, this is with no gear. When I do a full bulk with gear this winter, I'll be eating a ton.

Thanks a lot bros. Appreciate it.

Alot of meals, why not eat every 2 hours and make it 7-8 meals instead of 11? Other then that, youre meals look pretty solid, red meat is good for you as long as you get lean cuts like top round or atlest 93/7 ground beef, filet mignon, lean sirloin, cuts like that. basically anything that had round or loin in it, is the leaner cut. i dont think you need 2.5 scoops of protein, 2 scoops would work fine. i would only up the protein when cutting because youre consuming less carbs, but youre consuming a decent amount of carbs so you can back off the protein. 40-50 grams per meal is plenty.

Thanks man. I've been basically living off chicken breasts this last year and I think I want to switch some of that out for the lean beef.

And yeah, I'm thinking I'll move some of the meals around and eliminate some of the shakes in between so that I have more like 7 meals.

I think it's the tren that has ruined my appetite because I just can't stop eating. I am always hungry lol.

Im the same way, last year ran tren enanthate for cutting and thought it would kill my appetite but instead did the total opposite. EQ on the other hand did nothing for my appetite. I can only eat chicken so much before i dont eat it at all for a week or 2 so i made a compromise. 1-2 chicken meals per day, max, that way i wont get sick of it. orange roughy fish is awesome. i get em at sam's/costco, come in bags individually wrapped fillets. good substitution for chicken. tuna is awesome, when i eat it with mayo and on an hoagie, lol, but other then that, you wont see me eating much tuna. try some turkey breast(the actual breast, not cold cuts), i think they are softer and juicier then chicken, and same macros.

Thanks a lot man. Yeah I got some 99% lean turkey breast the other day and found it was definitely tastier than chicken. Looks like I'll use this winter to experiment with different meats and fish. And I keep hearing great things about Costco so I will get there ASAP.

Thanks
