My Bulking Diet-Please critique
I'm finally done cutting (a process that lasted 2 years! and got me from 247 lbs to 160 lbs at about 8% body fat)...now I'm
going to start bulking and adding some mass...here's my diet....please critque:
Meal 1: Kcals/carbs/protein
1.5 cups of Kashi Cereal 240/16/58
8 oz. Skim Milk 90/8/14
Protein Shake 230/40/6
Meal 2:
Met RX Bar 340/27/50
Meal 3 (Post-Workout):
1.5 cups of Kashi Cereal 240/16/58
8 oz. Skim Milk 90/8/14
Protein Shake 230/40/6
16 oz. Powerade 140/0/38
Meal 4:
Whole Wheat Bagel 280/12/57
Meal 5:
6 oz. Chicken Breast 365/50/0
4 oz. Whole What Pasta 380/12/82
2 cups Brocolli 50/0/8
1/2 cup tomato sauce 60/0/13
Meal 6:
1 cup of Oatmeal 300/10/57
1/2 an apple 60/0/15
Totals: 3100 kcals, 239 g Protein, 476 g Carbs
(also, 50 g of Fiber)
Sometimes I go higher in cals, maybe 3350 but never more.....sometimes as much as 265 g of protein.....the diet above is
usually the bare minimum...my cals are usually 3200 because of a cup of coffee or something or an extra ounce of pasta or
chicken...
I am currently 165 after about 2 weeks....i have had no increase on my caliper measuremenets or my waist
measurements, but my abs seem to be much less defined....i imagine this is water weight (as are most of the 5 pounds or
so i have gained after carb depleting)...after a carb-up/refeed day my weight would always go up to 163-164 during my
last few weeks of dieting, so I think the weight I have gained is mostly water....but damn i feel better....i wasn't as strong
as i had hoped the first week of bulking, but i think this week i should be full and hydrated enough to really move some
serious weight finally......is 1 lb. or 1/2 lb a good goal from here on out? I really want to avoid fat gain as much as possible
since i'm more interested in strength than size....i want get my 375 bench back and then hit the 405 barrier at a sub-200
lb. bodyweight!
Any help would be great...thanks...i posted this before but got no real feedback except some erroneus information.
