    Got my new stats, Need Opinions on my Diet?

    Hey all. I've posted before with questions about my diet, and you all helped out. Now I got more detailed info. about myself and my meals...Can u comment and suggest any ideas? Hope i'm not being a pain Thank You all....I really improved my lifestyle from reading through this site, I was so lost before this!!
    Here Goes:

    Age:25
    Male
    Height: 6' - 0.5"
    Weight: 187 Lbs.
    Body Fat: 15.5% (may be a little off) I used an Omron Digital meter
    Not sure if this is useful but my max 1x bench is 185 lbs.
    40" chest
    35" waist

    Diet:
    7:45am
    1 multivitamin with antioxodants
    ~1/2 cup quaker 1-minute oatmeal
    ~1/2 cup Fiber One cereal
    ~3/4 cup whole milk
    2 scoops optimum pro complex whey protein

    10:30am
    1 Detour Bar (when i'm on the road)
    OR
    1 oz. mixed nuts
    5 slices deli turkey
    1 Tbs. mayo
    dash of hot sauce
    1 slice 12 grain bread
    1.5 scoops protein

    1:00pm
    Large Ceasar salad (dressing is basically oils and eggs)
    with 4-5 oz. grilled chicken

    4:30pm
    1 apple
    1.5 scoops protein
    2 oz. mixed nuts

    5:20 - 6:30pm
    WORKOUT (4-day split weight training, no cardio)

    6:30pm (right after workout)
    1 scoop Cell-Tech creatine, on my ride home from the gym

    7:30pm
    6 oz. chicken breast grilled with olive oil on george forman grill
    I use about 1 Tbs. olive oil
    1.5-2 cups fresh broccoli or string beans

    11:00pm (before sleep)
    1/2 cup oatmeal
    1/4 cup fiber one
    1/2 cup whole milk
    1 scoop protein

    ....So what do ya think.
    P.S. I haven't gained or lost a lb. in the 4 months i've been doing this plan.
    I want to build lean muscle and keep fat to a minimum.
    Should I be eating more to bulk up?
    I've been able to increase the weights at the gym, and I'm pretty sure I can see some muscle growth. So, could it be possible that my weight stays the same because I'm gaining muscle weight, but losing fat weight??

    Sorry its long...thanks for all the help!!!

    J'Bo-
    - I joined the gym about 2 years ago, but had no clue what I was doing until about December 2002. Now, I've been doing a 4-day split. 1. Chest/Tri's, 2. Back/Bi's, 3. Legs, 4. Shoulders. After warmup sets I do ~3 diferent exercises of 3 sets for each bodypart, 4-6 rep range.

    - I do not do cardio at the moment, but summer is coming and I love to Hike and Mountain bike. Probably do this for pleasure on a sunday afternoon.

    - Not sure what bf I want to get to, but I want it low enough to start showing a little six-pack and some nice cuts here and there.

    You havent lost any weight cause you are eating the same amount of calories as you expend and are most likely building muscle.

    About the chest issue...i will let the guys answer that one...cause i need some bithc tits...lol

    I would read the bulking diet in the sticky and best nutritional section.

    I'm pretty new but I can tell you that some here will tell you to:

    Ditch the breads

    Ditch the milk

    Add some protein to that post workout Creatine shake

    Add some Flax seed oil or Fish oil to meals and ditch any mayo...

    Thanks.

    The workout is from "The Body Sculpting Bible for Men" which I picked up on a whim at Amazon:

    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...7147?vi=glance

    It's a periodization plan designed by a couple of trainers that mixes light cardio, and 4 days a week of weight training.....I'm sure some here would have something to say about some parts of it, but it's working for me (with some slight modifications and addition of some exercises)

    The diet is essentially straight from these boards (See the nutrition sticky thread The doc of pain links to). I use flax instead of heavy cream, and I drink more shakes each day than I should...but it's a work in progress that I keep tinkering with....
