    Bulking plan

    Hello all!

    Thought I'd throw out my eating plan for your critique/critisizm.

    I'm around 6', 150 lbs, 25, and bf% around 17-18% (from an online source)

    I hit the gym for the first time in close to a year, two weeks ago. In that two weeks I gained back 4 pounds, eating six meals a day, with a three day schedule. Mon-Wed-Fri.

    I'm trying to eat around 3000 cal/day. Anything over 2500cal I'm happy with.

    I usually start eating upon wake

    Meal1: 10:30am shake then head to the gym (1/2 hr walk there)
    Meal2: 12:30-1pm post workout shake
    Meal3: 3-4pm
    Meal4: 6pm
    Meal5: 9pm
    Meal6: 11-11:30pm shake

    These are the meals I usually stick to:

    1. shake: 614 cal 33g prot.
    2. 1 chicken breast
    w/2 serv. potatoes w/1 serv. veggies: 400 cal 40g prot.
    3. tuna w/2 serv. potatoes: 370 cal 34g prot.
    4. 6 eggs (3 yolks) w/1 serv. potatoe: 460cal 30g prot.
    5. 2 mini pizzas: 520 cal 20g prot.
    6. 2 chicken or bean burritoes: 580cal 22g prot.

    What do u guys think?

    Thanks!

    Just some observations, from someone who has had trouble gaining weight in the past and is probably about the same body type (although 20 pounds heavier with lower BF )

    Three of your meals are coming from shakes, which is not great...however you are also eating six meals in the space of 12-13 hours, which is almost too close together. Is there something stopping you from eating first thing in the morning? Or are you on a different cycle in terms of awake time than the rest of us?

    Your mini pizzas and burritos are probably not the best choices...check out the threads under bulking diets if you want to have some good eating plans. I found I cannot gain unless I eat at least 3500 cals per day due to my metabolism, however you may not be as difficult.
    Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

    The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

    No, that's just the time I'm getting up everyday. (I'm on unemployment.) I have to start getting up early though, in a month I'll be getting up at around 6am for school.


    I found I cannot gain unless I eat at least 3500 cals per day due to my metabolism, however you may not be as difficult.
    I should prob. aim at around that, I'm still trying to get in around 3000 cal. My metabolism is about the same, I gotta eat! Just trying to think of good cheap meals!


    Thanks!
