1 month in - How is my diet looking?
Yesterday's Meals - Any ideas? What to up.. what to cut out? eat more? less? Thanks! (fyi - this is fairly representative of what i eat everyday)
Meal 1 - 1 whole egg, 3 whites, oatmeal w/FF milk , 1 slice WW toast w/FF cream cheese and 1 scoop of whey, vitamins Meal 2 - Almonds, oatmeal, string cheese, sliced turkey, scoop of whey Meal 3 - 1 apple, broccoli, fresh spinach, boiled chicken breast, 1/2 small sweet potato Meal 4 - 1 scoop of whey 1/2 small sweet potato Meal 5 - homemade tuna salad, 1 slice WW bread Meal 6 - 1 cup turkey chili, 1/2c kidney beans, 1/2c brown rice, 1 cup green beans, Tilapia fillet Meal 7 - 1/2c cottage cheese, 1 tbsp natural PB (supps are fix oil pills at breakfast and dinner, flax seed, and a multi-vitamin) As you can see from my picture below i don't need to be cutting but rather bulking. My goals are to build up my: pecs shoulders lats continue sculpting my abs (arms have always looked pretty good for some reason - they'll come along with the other ones)  Total Calories 2530 (only???! i was freakin' eating all day!) Protein 259g 42/38/21 P/C/F I know I need to up my calories. But honestly i would get tired of eating more of what i already eat. Any ideas for OTHER things I could add to my diet? Especially things that I should be eating but are completely absent here? Again, thanks in advance! |

Bulking?
Up the Carbs, up the fats. |

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

No I think your protein is fine.

Up the carbs for fuel so your body does not eat the muscle you built up for fuel. Trry a 50/30/20 diet, 50% carbs, 30% pro, and 20% fats

Don't go crazy with the fats, it's more you have to cut! carbs look good

add calorie dense foods...an easy 1000 cals 2 cups of pasta, a bagel, and a banana.
Thats not really that much food. Also where is your post w/o nutrition? there is plenty of rooms for a ton more cals without you even noticing it if you really want. |

Another question about bulking:
Do you generally keep the macros at a steady level? I'm not doing "carb cycling" so should i shoot for a level of consistency? Or just play it by ear? How does 40% protein, 30%carb, 30%fat sound (again, this is for a daily macro levels - not carb cycling). Thanks! |
