meal 1
4 whole eggs
1 bran muffin

1 serving bacon
Get rid of the bacon. replace the bran muffin with some oats/rice/w.w.pasta might want to eat 2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites. I still think your going to need more protein. maybe 5 egg whites, 2 whole eggs.

meal2
ww pita with lots of pb
banana
5 egg white

So you're eating a high glucose fruit , as well as processed, glycemic carbs along side fat?? --cut out the pb at bare minimum, eat it later on in the day when you drop carbs.
meal3
3 oz chicken breast or steak
2 cups mix veggie
1 cookie (mmmm)

a cookie?...

meal4
1 sweet potato
4 oz pork sausage
2 slices of no fat cheeze

replace sausage with lean g.beef/steak. Add in EFA

meal5 pre w/o
1 cup oatmeal (uncooked)
4 fatty strawberries or blue berries
1.5 cups skim milk
5 egg whites
1.5 scoops whey

looks good.. but eat more fat pre w/o

post w/o
5gs creatine
5gs taurine
5gs glutamine
no food/shake post w/o?

meal6
can of tuna
ww pita
2 slices no fat cheeze
2tbsn salad dressing

why not add in some EFA?
i also take a multi, E, C, and omega caps.

any input is appreciated.
overall i think you need to start over with macros, then decide what foods your going to eat. but its a start

keep in mind that i am bulking, so a banana is no big deal. i eat 1 cookie a day- keeps me in check
meal 6 is post w/o and i take whey with my creatine. EFAs are omega caps right? and i do take them.

well its not the banana thats particularly the problem. you just have to be careful about meal combination. Glucose+Fat is going to make you fat if your're not currently burning the calories.

as for the cookie a day, well, go for it man, its just not my style to cheat every day.

EFAs, yeah they come in caps, but, thats probably not going to be enough unless you down like 10+ of them... too expensive.
just buy the oil.

I hope you're plan is sucessful, Good luck.

Fish oil caps are cheap. I just can't imagine drinking the actual fish oil

Just my opinion- but it looks to me- even though you are bulking- you may be setting yourself up for more unecessary fat gain. Its one thing to have fat and carbs- but too have no EFAS along with not up to par carbs- ie bran muffins and all the fruit...may cause trouble.
I would consider switching the fruits to more slow burning carbs.
Also
-Ditching the bacon - you already have alot of fat form the eggs and bran muffin if you are keeping that.
-PB and pita meal- exactly how much PB?
-Add more chicken...and if you are having a cookie a day I would strongly suggest cleanin up your other carbs. Or even having it pre workout instead.
-Pork sausage?
-Rest is ok- but I would get in some EFAS.

what foods contain efa's? or is my only option more caps or oil. I thought pb had some good fat in it.
just to clarify- I should try to eat fats and carbs at separate meals un less it is pre w/o?

thanx for the input.

nuts are a good source, namely walnuts and almonds, but several others will do.

check out the stickies to find an oil that best suits your fat intake.

yep, youll want to eat most carbs pre and post workout. the rest of the day should be relatively low carb, with higher fat intake. and yes, pre workout needs fat as well.
