    Help Me Get A Perfect Bulking Diet (Please Read)

    Hi, for those of you who havent allready seen my other threads I will tell you a little about myself:

    Gender: Male
    Age: 18
    Hight 5 Foot 10
    Weight: 135 lbs

    I was recently on a low cal diet (1200) and lost allot of muscle(ALLOT!!) I used to work in a garage so did allot of physical work but now am studying so dont do as much, I am skinny fat, I know its hard to belive at that weight but I can still grab flab on my belly and chest, I want to bulk up a bit and once at a nice healthy weight (160lb preferably) I want to Cut. Want to be doing it all clean since I have allready seen what happens if yu try speed things up...

    So far I have managed to get myself a barbel and will be geting single hand bars soon I have many weights, I didnt buy them they were in the garage so I just thought I would stick them in the shed, they go up to maybee 300+lb so I am not limited, I also have a bench, My workout plan so far is:

    Day 1: Chest/Triceps
    Day 2: Legs/calves
    Day 3: OFF or abs
    Day 4: Back/Biceps/forearms
    Day 5: OFF
    Day 6: Shoulders/traps
    Day 7: OFF

    Dont really want to add much cardio until I actualy get to a good weight.

    My diet:
    I have had problems with this, geting many different answers but I think I have a rough idea...I eat on the ratios of 40/40/20 Carb/Pro/Fat
    I eat loads of meals (6-8) as you have all sugested I should
    Protein=1-1.5 x body weight in lbs
    Fat= 0.5 x body weigh in lbs
    Now the confusing part...CALORIES!!! 3 different answers so far...
    Answer 1: Eat BMR+500(muscle gain)+300(time spent on exercise)=2400
    Answer 2: Eat BMR x 1.5(activity level) + 500(Muscle gain)= 2600-3000
    Answer 3: Eat 1900 on workout days and 1600 on rest

    Now you tell me what one is correct please I am just confused...

    This is how I eat on workout days:

    2 weetabix skim milk and splenda OR oats with skim milk and splenda

    bit later - 4 egg whites with 100g mushrooms and maybee 100g of lentils
    & green tea

    Workout for about 1 hour

    Straight after workout - 2 tbs nesquick choc milkshake 10 oz skim milk and few egg whites, I dont have any Whey or dex yet so this is a substitute, should I leave out the eggs?

    about 1 hour after workout - 3 - 4 wholegrain brown bread with a can of tuna

    bit later - something like protein with some carbs like lean meat with bread or lentil soup.

    bit later - some sort of protein like a chicken breast

    How can I make this diet more effective?
    I have done allot of research since diet is 80% and workout is only 20% of muscle gain, I have asked many other questions and once these ones are answered I know exactly what to do.

    At the moment I am using fit day to track how I eat I am trying to carb cycle a bit but its not going to well because carbs are all over the place my cals stay at about 2400 and fats about 60-70g but my carbs are supposed to be 150g on days off, 250g on moderate days (when I do legs or shoulders maybee) and 250g on days where I do stuff like triceps and chest or biceps and forearms since I want them to look bigger the most.

    No one but you can determine exactly how many calories you should consume because of genetic and metabolic variables. As per juggernaut's calorie recommendation for bulking, that is a starting point and that is where you should go.
