I'm 6'1", 161 lbs, and close to 21 years old. I'm looking strictly for mass over the next few years. I've got an idea of the diet I think I'll need, but I'd like to know if it adds up well. I'd like to eat 6+ eggs a day. These will be boiled and mixed in as snacks to add to my meals. Protein bars, granola bars, and spoonfuls of no sugar added peanut butter will be added in to my diet as snacks as well. I'm looking here so far:
6:00-Breakfast: 4 egg whites and 2 whole eggs, toast/granola/whole grain no sugar added cereal, banana
9:00-First break meal: 60g whey protein shake with a few spoonfuls of peanut butter
12:00-Lunch:6oz+ chicken/beef/turkey with a cup of rice/potatoes
3:00-Second Break Meal:60g whey protein shake with a few spoonfuls of peanut butter
6:00-Dinner:8oz+ lean chicken/beef/turkey with a cup of rice/potatoes
9:00-Bed Time:60g casein protein shake with a few spoonfuls of peanut butter
Workout should fall somewhere between 3:00 and 6:00 with a cup of rice for pre-workout carbs.
Any advice or revisions would be greatly appreciated.
You are going to need to add some vegetables in (as in leafy greens etc, not just potatoes and rice) for at least 3 meals a day. Fiber is essential to flush metabolic waste away and you'll need the micro-nutrients.
Track your macros and calorie totals so you can get an idea if you are eating enough to keep gaining. The more muscle you put on the more you need to eat to gain.
