From what I"m reading, total fat intake should be 30-35% for men. This is showing to be the range where we will produce the most testosterone. Of course, fats should be from "good" fats.

I'd add in a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter as a snack late in the evening. I generally put mine on a couple of Graham crackers. One, because they don't have enough calories to matter (in two planks) and two, because they have wheat flour in them. Combining the incomplete proteins in the peanut butter with the proteins in the wheat flour will make complete, usable proteins. Additionally, the good fats in the pb are exactly what testosterone is made from.

2 Tbs Peanut Butter (All natural) 210 cals 16g fat 6 Carbs 8g protein
2 Graham Crackers 118 cals 3g fat 22 Carbs 2g protein

If you're bulking, you need to optimize your testosterone production. Read some of the nutrition articles on other ideas on how to best accomplish it. I think you'll be hurting your progress at 20% fat.

Also, a recent study showed that bb'ers who ate three whole eggs (cooked) a day gained 30% more muscle than those who ate only one or no whole eggs per day. Seems that the cholesterol in the eggs is needed to build muscle as well. It's also used to build the sheathes that cover nerves, etc.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!
