My Stats
Age : 18
Weight : 130lb (kinda pudgy though)
Height : 5'7

I want to go to around 150-160 then cut.

Diet

(7:00 a.m.) Meal 1
2 egg white
2 whole eggs
Turkey Sandwich
Whey Scoop
1 cup of Skim Milk

Stay away from lunch meat- only turkey breast (lean with less sodium). I would say cut the skim milk and whey scoop and replace with more egg whites.

(9:00 a.m.) Meal 2
1 cup of oatmeal
1 banana
1/2 Whey Scoop

Try another lean protein source, do not rely on whey (although a whey protein snack won't hurt every now and then) I would ditch the carbs until post workout. Instead try raw almonds- just a palm full will do (healthy fats) and a protein source. Also add a few fish oil tablets here for your Omega 3's

(1:00 p.m.) Meal 3
5oz of Chicken Breast
1 Cup of Brown Rice
Salad

Love your idea with the greens- green veggies (broccoli, spinach) is great for you- lots of nutrients and fiber. Chicken breast is also a good call for lean protein

(2:30 p.m.) Meal 4
1/2 Cup of Oatmeal
1/2 Whey Scoop
2tbs of Peanut Butter
1 cup of Skim Milk

(3:00 p.m.)
Creatine (Storm)

*workout*

(4:00-4:30 p.m) After Workout
1/2 cup of oatmeal
1 Whey Scoop
Banana

(6:30 p.m.) Meal 5
2 egg white
2 whole eggs
1 cup of brown rice
I like this meal. Healthy proteins, fats to slow down digestion and carbs after your post workout shake to further recover is good

(8:30 p.m.) Snack
1 apple
1 cup of oatmeal
Two carb sources and no protein?

(9:30 - 10:00 p.m.)
1 scoop of Casein
1 cup of Milk
Here is the only place I agree with milk. Not only will the Casein slow down digestion, but the milk should help as well. I used to drink lots of milk, but ditched it when I wanted to start cutting and it made a huge difference.

Protein : 231g
Carbs : 393g
Fat: 98g

Any input on what I should fix is appreciated.

Oh yeah I also had a Q bout creatine...Do I take it in rest days too?
