BlueX_v1: eating, lifting, resting

[BlueX_v1]

I'm going to see if I can keep one of these journals going, to help me with my diet more than anything else. This is the first time I have really taken weight training seriously and educated myself about it and looked at it as a lifestyle change rather than an activity. I'm pretty much on the far end of the hardgainer spectrum, so my program will reflect that, on the conservative side, until I get a better idea of what my body is capable of and responds best to. (Intro)
Age: 25. Height: 5' 10". Weight: 140 lbs. Male.

I'm going to try to consume 2650 calories daily (I have a desk job):
Initially trying 200g protein, 350g carbohydrates, and 50g fat for a 30/53/17 caloric ratio.

I will be doing a 4 week cycle, training an average 1.5 times per week-
Week 1: Upper on Monday, Lower on Friday.
Week 2: Upper on Wednesday only.
Week 3: Lower on Monday, Upper on Friday.
Week 4: Lower on Wednesday only.
I'll also be doing cardio in between, at least 3 30min sessions preferably via outdoor activities like biking and paddling.

Foods will be listed with macronutrient levels in the following format, to be calculated at the end of the day:
[g protein, g carbohydrates (g sugar), g fat]

Ok, found fitday.com...much easier I'm afraid, so I'm letting this journal die and I'm moving over there. http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/CalendarTab.asp?Action=SetDay&NewYear=2004&NewMonth=6&NewDay=22&Tab=Foods
