it all depends on your weight

hey, if you are still in high school, then it doesn't matter what your weight is, I know 2800 is too litle for you.

I am a second year college student now, and I started bulking about 3 months ago at about 2800 calories. Needless to say, I was gaining very little weight. Still, I thought i was being "smart" because I was not gaining fat.

Then, blood drinker urged me to up it to close to 4000 calories... I though I was asking to gain an ass load of fat, but I've been gaining pretty much all mass.

Dude, I used to really paranoid about gaining fat cuz a while back I was pretty fat, but I got over this and upped my calories. It has gotten me much quicker results. I'm telling you , at our age you gain one pound a week and be assured that most of it will be muscle, particularly if you eat smart like you and I do. Of course some of it will be fat, but you cannot avoid that.

Also, add some flax in your breakfast meal. Also, to meet your caloric needs while in school, take almonds with you, and try to add peanut butter to your protein shakes. Trust me, I though peanut butter and almonds woulc make me beefy, but I'm taking about 120 grams of fat, 420 g carbs, and 270 g protein and I'm gaining fine (I'm 19, 5'7.5" 140 lbs).

You could always throw some protein or carb bars in there somewhere between classes. I'm a college student right now and I always bring a protein bar, protein shake ( in a shaker bottle) and a cup of oatmeal. It probably looks pretty stupid because I sit on a bench in the middle of campus and eat it, but I don't give a fuck.....I need the protein and carbs.

These guys are on the money bro, You have to eat more cals. At the moment I up around 5000cals ( I weight 243lbs at 8%BF). Before I was on 2500-3000cals and I was 180lbs at 10%BF. Make good fats your friends. Here's an example of a day for me, All you have to do is prepare your food the day before and have a few small air tight containers that you can keep in a cool place.
Atlas's Diet:

Breakfast 8:30-9:00am:
1 large bowl of oats with low fat milk and spoon of honey.
1 Cup of coffee with no sugar
1 Protein shake (1 scoop protein powder,1 scoop skim milk powder, 1 table spoon of flax seed oil and 4 whole eggs (shells too if i'm hungry))

Lunch 1 11:30am-12:00noon
200g of either Tuna/chicken/meat with salad, potato's and cheese.

Lunch 2 1:00pm
Protein shake ( 1 scoop protein powder and 1 scoop skim milk powder)

Lunch 3 3:00-3-30pm
Same as lunch 1

Workout at 5:30 untill 6:30pm

Post workout shake 6:15pm
1 scoop protein powder, 1 scoop skim milk powder, 2 eggs, 1 spoon of flax seed oil and 3-5 spoons of ice cream.

Dinner 8:00pm
Chicken breast/fish or meat (250g) with mixed veggies and potato

Last meal of the day is a handful of peanuts (in shells) and a protien shake, 1 scoop and 1 scoop, 1 egg and 1 spoon of flax.

I dont know if this will help but just play around with it and try to make your own version.

sorry guys my account got a little screwed up...sorry and i thank you all for replying...here goes

i agree that i need more calories, and i am not scared to get fat but i am also trying to keep it healthy to make sure most of my gains is muscle mass..dont mind a little fat and water either..

what kind of nuts can i buy that are healthy, have a little protein, some good EFA's and decent calories, and taste somewhat good?? this is an excellant idea for school..



thanks a lot fellas, all i need is a type of almonf or nut too eat and ill be able to get up to at least 3200, i will be able to get up to llike 3800 but i need to time to get used to all of the food..'


thanks again guys
peace

the best nuts to eat are peanuts....if you don't want those I'd suggest cashews or walnuts....although I'm not to sure about the walnuts. If you really want some extra calories go get some weight gainer......I'm pretty sure if you throw one of those into your diet you could get up to 400cals easy.....and like I said before....you should invest in some protein or carb bars for during shcool.

 

[JustinM]

so far we got peanuts and cashews to add to the list, any other ideas?? im gonna post a nuts post on the supps board..

thank a lot guys

I personally like almonds.

I would take a 1/2 cup of almonds to munch on in class and put two tablespoons of peanut in the protein shake. That's like 450 calroies right there.

Let's not forget, you have no flax seed oil in your diet. I would add 2 tablesppons of that per day, if not 3 tablespoons.

Also, you imght want to bring in pasta into your diet.

Looking at your diet, it reminds me of what i did my first few weeks and gained nothing but 3 pounds that I was really proud of. Now I'm gaining a pound a week and I think it's the way to go.

If you add dense foods, you will easily be able to get up to 3800-4000 calories, where you no doubt should be. this means almonds, peanut butter, flax oil, grape nuts, and pasta. Your protein seems to be good, although you don't have any eggs, which are an excellent source of protein, and you don't have any lean red meat.

Trust me man, I used to eat pretty much the same stuff you're eating, and you'll be much more pleased with your results at 4K calories compared to 3K calories.
