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.
