Help with Bulking Diet

[Chris19145]

Hi, I'm having trouble setting up a bulking diet. I never had a proper diet to start with and want to change that. I need help picking the right food to create my shopping list and I can fit in about 5 meals with a late snack or small meal. I currently weight about 180 pounds (6 ft) and I'm trying to bulk to 200 pounds for football by next june.

In addition, I will be taking whey protein(morning, pre, post), muscle milk(before bed), AST Multi Pro 32X(pre-work), and Flaxseed(morning?). Change anything if needed to. Currently I'm recovering from a back injury and will probably start my workout and meals in December, so I want to be prepared.

Breakfast -
Pre-workout -
Post-workout -
4th meal -
Dinner -
Small meal/snack -

I will be drinking water through out the day. Also can someone look over my protein shakes setup?
I haven't calculated calories, carbs, and protein yet. Can someone give me an estimate on my intake?

Please make any adjustments or give any advice. Thanks.

Go to www.fitday.com and input your foods it will give you a total intake of macros etc.

why no carbs preworkout? also, dont drink muscle milk before you got bed, get some pure casein protein powder since it takes your body 5 to 6 hours to digest it rather than whey(about 20 min)

To bulk, IMO you're gona need to get harder then that....not enough from just glancing, especially on the quality carbs part

Cut the fruit (fructose is a poor choice of carbs for filling muscle glycogen stores) and replace with a nice low Gi carb such as oats or barley, likewise cut the jelley out for he same reason.

Is that Smuckers a natural peanut butter or loaded with trans fats? Is the bread on your samwiches full of hydrogenated oils? Check the label.

I would add more clean carbs pre workout.

Replace all those egg whites with whole eggs.

Skip the muscle milk and replace it with a nice steak or another meat. People can feel free to disagree, but suppliment drinks are a poor replacement for real food.

More EFA's! Fish oil/flax seed oil.
