From cutting to bulking.

Okay, I am done with losing weight.
Now, I want to go up, and I really don't care if I add much fat, as long as it spreads out and doesn't all go to one place.
Anyway, I don't plan on changing everything around too much, because, with my schedule, I need structure.
What I will do is continue eating what I eat normally, except I will be adding extra carbs to several of my meals, in the form of fruit and some vegetables.

So here would be a sample day for me.

Morning-( This probably won't change, as I already get pretty damn full )
Oatmeal
Milk with whey
2 fish oil caps

Meal 2- School lunch
main course (hamburger, pizza, salisbury steak, corndog and macaroni, etc)
A vegetable
a fruit
milk

Meal 3-
Tuna
Granola bar or green beans
apple
PB

Meal 4-
Egg whites
1 yolk
Banana
Milk

Meal 5-
multi bran bagel. (15 protein, 16 fibre, 1 sugar, 3 fat)
PB
Milk

That would be a non workout day.

On workout days, it would be the same except after meal 3 would be replaced with a pre and post workout shake, consisting of dextrose and whey.

What do you think.
I know its far from perfect, but I'm only 17 ( 18 in Jan. )
And I'm just looking to put on mass, without too much fat.
Maybe a pound a week or less.

Totals probably
225 protein
350-450 carbs
60-90 fat

what were you cut numbers at?

I would increase cal totals like 10% a week until you reach bulk numbers JMO

Probably a good transition phase till he adjusts to more food....I know I had to give my stomach a little time to get used to the increase.

Boy meal2 really sucks, but you take what you get....darn school system....that's the BEST they can offer?

?? Values/amounts for meals would be helpful. So would a weight/height/BF%...

This would probably be ok to start with but you might find you need something more calorie dense to gain with... It is pretty hard to add mass with fruit and vegetables.

Add fats here.

I would probably drop the milk.

Complete?? protein?? The bagel may give you some but I would add some CC to this meal.

I wouldn't have dex pre-workout.... But PWO it would be fine.

It is far from perfect...

But you are young... you may be able to get away with it.

This looks ok as a ratio... but as for if it is appropriate for you??

Thanks for advice...
Actually emma, I can lose and gain weight fairly easily.

The added calories from the fruit and vege's should do it.
No point in adding more protein, I dont believe in getting 300 a day.

I weigh 178, and am 6'1".

One reason why, though, is that I feel I need to eat healthier.
Thats why the fruit and vege's are added.

I know the school lunch is bad, occasionally, though, I will bring my own lunch, which will be much better.

And yes, the bagel is complete protein.

You are almost EXAXTLY like me 1 year ago, by height, weight, and similar type diet. Are you sure you can gain weight easily, just wondering??? I would reccomend more fish oil caps, and possibly less PB if necessary. I would reccomend more casien protien at night somehow with powder, or disgusting cottage cheese.
