    Could somebody critique my diet.....

    I've been lurking a little bit on the boards for awhile and picked up some info from lots of people around here. I know these threads are abundant.....but I am really trying hard and suggestions are appreciated and wanted (just looking to get the best results I can). Trying to do a "clean bulk", Current Weight 152 lbs. I've been having some pretty good success, at it for about 2 solid months now (zero cheating BTW) but any suggestions would obviously not hurt.

    588 cal, 83 g prot, 44 g carb, 10 g fat

    600 cal, 76 g prot, 55 g carb, 14 g fat too much protein for 1 meal
    Pre-Workout
    1 Banana, 1 Cup Whey Protein

    215 cal, 20 g prot, 31 g carb, 1 g fat

    Post-Workout
    1 Banana, 1 1/2 cup Whey Protein

    270 cal, 30 g prot, 34 g carb, 1 g fat

    Meal 4: 10 oz. 99% Fat Free Turkey Cutlets, 2/3 tbsp Pbutter, 4 mushrooms, 1/2 lg zucchini, 2 tbsp fat free s. cream, 1 slice whole wheat Ezekiel bread,

    588 cal, 83 g prot, 44 g carb, 10 g fat same as meal 3
    Before Bed: 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese

    80 cal, 13 g prot, 6 g carb increase your protein intake at the prebed meal eat a slow digesting protein (example cottage cheese)and add some efa's you must add efa's to your prebed meal...

    2475 cal, 293 g prot, 242 g carb, 39 g fathow's your progress how much do you add per week on this ???as you said you've already done it for 2 months
    first ........
    -over all macros :47/39/14% pro/carbs/fats
    first decrease your protein intake to 220 grams for example depending on your stats but any way 300 grams of protein is too much for a 150 lbs person on a bulk and 47% protein is too much when bulking 30-35% is fine.....second increase your fat intake to at least 20% and raise your carb intake a little bit....add some efa's : my suggestion is olive oil to meals 2,3 and some fish oil to meal 4 and prebed.....

    I added some notes up ...That's my opinion wait for the mods advice...

    Too much bread products, not enough fats, not enough veggies.

    Try to balance out your meals better.

    I think meant "might want to consider". Milk isn't a necessity.

    Isn't having enough dairy products an important thing??

    If you want to that is fine. But it isn't necessary.

    See what I was doing was putting 1 cup Fat Free Skim Milk with my shakes after workouts. But I've changed that recently because I figured, why would I want to have the milk in there because I just want to get the protein to my muslces as fast as possible, and wouldn't the milk slow that down?

    Who the hell eats "1/2 slice of bacon"? You count the number of mushrooms you eat?

    This is not possible, is it?

    I don't see the point in counting mushrooms. The Caloric intake is next to nothing. But whatever.

    People like to making eating properly alot hard then it should be.

    I once read about a horse jockey that would treat himself by eating the peanuts on plane trips - only "4" of them.

    Eat as well as you've learned, use common sense, the scale and the mirror on occassion while working. It ain't an exact science.
