Looking for some advice on my diet / caloric intake per day. I just got all my shipments in and will be starting everything on Monday. I have a general idea of what I should be doing, and definitely eat clean. I also train at night so my meals might be mixed around a little.
My stats:
5'7 3/4"
150 lbs
12-13% BF
What kind of macros should I generally be looking at? I know I should be running higher carbs before workouts and a high protein intake throughout the day.
Is 3000 calories sufficient enough for my size to grow or should I be aiming higher? My diet will consist of meals mainly like this..
Meal 1: 6 egg whites, banana (Teaspoon olive oil)
Meal 2: Protein shake, Greek Yogurt
Meal 3: 6-8 oz Chicken breast, 1 - 1 1/2 cup veggies, 1 cup Potatoes or Brown Rice
Meal 4: 6-8 oz Chicken Breast, 1 cup veggies, 1 cup potatoes
Meal 5 (Post workout) - 6-8 oz Steak, 1 cup potatoes, pasta.
Protein shake before bed.
I haven't actually meausred out the calories yet, but I have all day tomorrow to figure out my exact measurements. I also have a 600 calorie mass gainer shake at home I can throw in to fill some extra calories if needed.. About 750 calories with 1% milk. I need to get some fats in there, just havent decided how I want to do it yet. Any advice is appreciated.
