Thread: Could you check my bulk diet please

1)Add more efa's and protein. Your protein intake is very low in all the meals. Ay 6'11" man you need all the size you can get if your 168lbs. Im 5'6" @170 and I consider myself WAY to skinny so you need to get a eating.

2)Have more carbs pre/post workout...stick to complex carbs for now then later on in life mess with the insulin spikes.

3)No fats post workout...just straight carbs(oats,beans, etc...) and fast digesting protein(whey/egg whites).

4)Glutamine is good post workout...try to take some in your post workout shake.

I am pretty sure you a pure ecto so just make sure you take in a TON of calories. Just keep EATING AND EATING! Try to keep it clean but pasta's and potatoes make it much easier to get solid calories in....and when your such a hard gainer it essential you take in alot of calories to gain weight. Nothing else I can really say but to eat a ton...train hard...and enjoy it while it lasts.

Looks like a pretty good diet. You've got your cals at a pretty good place to bulk.

Meal 1-
Looks pretty good. I wouldn't necessarily take the fish oil since your getting Peanut butter (That is natty PB right?)

Meal 2-
I think you read the tuna can incorrectly. Look again. A whole can has 2.5 servings so mult your totals by 2.5. That brings your protein up which is good. Add 5 fish oil to that meal.

Meal 3-
Looks good. Take 5 fish oil instead of 2.

Meal 4-
Looks good.

Meal 5-
Need more fat in that meal. 5 more fish oil would be fine IMO. And take 2 scoops of protein for that one.

Meal 6-
Like Dead said, no fat post w/o. Just take 2 scoops ON and some oats or something.

Add a meal 7 in there, you want another meal with a slow burning protein and fat before you hit the bed. Can be 1 hour after Meal 6.

Thanks for the advice guys, and sorry im 5'11 not 6'11 I made a typo

So should I just take the myoplex out completely and drink a homeade shake instead (1/2 cup uncooked oats, 2 scoops whey, banana, skim milk sound good?) Also, maybe I should replace one of the other meals (meal 3 maybe?) with the Myoplex, I just did the shopping and that amount of chicken for the week amounts to about 20$/week, which is quite a bit for a 17 year old

Also, any reccomendations for a slow-burning protein source for the 7th meal before bed?

Thanks again for the help!

Both of what you said sounds good to me. Yeah, chicken can get expensive. What I do is shop around and when I see chicken that's close to it's sell by date, I buy that. If it's usually $17 I can get it for $5-7.

If in normal days I usually don´t help, think about new year´s eve.

Yes never buy the pre made shakes make your own. Play around with the combos but what you listed sounds good. Try to eat as many real food meals as you can but if need be you can add in another shake or so to cut the cost down some. I see nothing wrong with that. I do the same thing sometimes when I am broke LOL.

As for a slow burning carb...cottage cheese is awsome right before bed.
