Question about my bulk dieting... is it TOO much??????

I have a program I follow every 6 months or so which I follow for about 2 months the max to bulk up. However while I was in the process of creating my diet this evening, I couldn't help to realize how much I am being told to intake and am speculating it may be too much, however the last time I went on this diet, I brought my benching up 5 pounds every other week; all in all, it brought very impressive gains. Also, while creating the diet, just looking at how much I'm supposed to intake when it comes to carbs per meal, I feel as if it's impossible to eat such an enormous amount, especially if my goal is to intake a good portion of vegetables (corn, peas & broccoli).

I am 19 years old at about 12% body fat and am 165 pounds. If it wasn't obvious enough, my goal is to bulk. I am to eat 5,540 calories. 764g of carbs, 413g of protein and 78g of fats.

Like I said, the gains are good but my main level of concern mostly lies with the carbs. The number comes out to sound absolutely massive. I would type out my entire diet but it is only partially made as I have yet to follow it this time around. Are MASSIVE carbs good for gains, such as provided here? Or is this just about over the edge? I know some may come out saying "hey if it's working, go with it~!!" but I'm wondering if the massive carbs are really THAT necessary to bulk up for a couple of months or it's safe to cut the number down?

Thanks.
 
You're 19 and you weigh 165 pounds. Please delete this thread, lock yourself in the fridge, and come back in about 6 months.
 
Here is what I am eating regularly. Of course, my information is provided in the first post of this topic. Wondering if it sounds appropriate enough for a somewhat bulk throughout time (not massively in a short amount of time). Of course this doesn't match the 5,000 calories diet I was describing in the first post in this thread but I just created this diet in hopes for some results and wondering about opinions & recommendations:

MEAL 1:
3 white eggs
1 whole egg
2 rye breads
2 scoops whey protein

MEAL 2:
Steak
2 rye breads

MEAL 3:
Chicken breast
1/4 cup brown rice
1/2 cup corn
2 scoops whey protein

MEAL 4:
Steak
1/2 cup brocoli

MEAL 5:
Chicken breast
1/4 cup brown rice
1/2 cup brocoli
2 scoops whey protein

MEAL 6:
Chicken breast
1/2 cup corn
1/2 cup brocoli

POST-WORKOUTS:
20 caps Glutamine
8 caps creatine
2 scoops whey protein
Cranberry juice
 
If you are bulking and eating clean, there is never "too" much in my opinion. I would suggest more protein for sure, mainly in the form of red meat. Also, where is the tuna?

come on 5540 cal. at 165.. thats rediculous.. sure if he can do it more power to him but i bet you guys at 200lbs are eating the same amount when bulking. i bet he could shave 1000cal from that diet and still be bulking up. doesnt he just have to intake 500ish more cal. then his maintanence amount?
 
165.....eat like a bird, gain like a bird
RED MEATS?
EFAs?
OATS?
SWEET TATERS?
FRUITS?

+1 Wish you could tell my buddy that. Hes on a test, deca, and a-bomb cycle at the moment...and hasnt even gained shit yet. He thinks doing a shitty xxx shake from gnc after he works out is going to cut it. retard.
