Current diet for bulking - suggestions

[Sim882]

I'm normally training in morning, and have bought Anabolic Pumps a couple of days ago as friend had good results with it.

I'm 5'6, 10% bf, 70 kilos

My workouts have been sucking lately, so the bulking I intended to start 6 weeks ago never really happend (I think I was suffering depression and couldn't motivate myself) but this seems to be improving and my workouts have regained their old vigour, so I'm back wanting to bulk.

This is proposed bulking diet, any suggestions.

(6am)
90 grams wheet bix (this is 99% wholegrain AUS wheat cereal), 1 glass skim milk, 30 grams whey (50/50 WPI/WPC). (550 cals)

(8:30, PWO)
10 grams BCAA, 70 waxy maize, 10 creatine

(8:50)
40 grams whey, WPI (500 cals)

(10) -
200 grams sweet potato, 150 kangaroo, 10 grams of almonds (500 cals)

(2) 150 grams Salmon, 280 sweet potato (500 cals)

(6) scrambled eggs (5 Omega 3 eggs, 1/2 kilo of fiberous veggies) (500 cals)

(7) Casein shake (40 grams P) (150 cals)

Some snacks, apples etc


3000 cals, 30%P, 53% C, 17% F

That sounds like a fairly clean bulking diet. Kangaroo huh? Does that taste decent? I can get it where I live, but I've wondered about how good it tastes. Depending upon your gym routine (BG% at 10) and your goals I might just say to hit the McDonald's drive thru once a day at least.

your diet seems really good and your workout will have a major impact on your diet.. And i saw omega 3 in your evening meal... You can add a couple of grams in the sleep time casein shake meal too....

I have salmon in the meal before, so I'm getting 3 grams EPA/DHA total, and 2.5 ALA. Before I was using no protein powder, and because I was using kangaroo instead of whey, I was consuming 300 grams of salmon per day and 6 grams total EPA/DHA, so this actually represents a smaller dose than usual for me (but I wanted to include the omega 3 eggs, because 2 of these eggs has 100% RDI of vit E, zinc, folate, selenium, B12, which is pretty good, particularly as E is hard to get and zinc is anabolic.

Do you think I should add more still to evening meal? I guess my fat intake is low, but I always seem to have more energy with high carbs

Donnie:

Kangaroo does taste decent - it has slightly sweet taste for some reason. It's really cheap here ($7 per kilo), and is very lean (2% fat, but high in zinc, iron).

I'm weary of hitting the maccas once per day for health reasons, but I'm assuming if I needed more cals, some cashews would suffice? I love them, and although they're no almonds healthwise, they'd be decent I assume for extra cals if needed. I'm assuming ur just recommending maccas for the cals
