That looks very solid to me mate. Out of interest, what do you put in your porridge (milk, water, jam??) and how much of it is there do you reckon? Alot of athletes are very particular about the weight of their oatmeal in the morning.

Did you mention your goal? Was it to bulk up or maintain?

Current stats? Bodytype. Weight Height

Current diet? Cals and Macros?

To be honest over the past couple of months my diet hasnt really been the best, been moving into a new house and been doing it up myself so been grabbing what ever i can eat in between work and working on the home - so my body fat aint the best. Im 6'2'' and 14.5 stone with about 15% body fat at the moment.

I mix my oats with oat milk, it doesnt taste the best but its got less fat in it compared to normal milk. Its still a little thick then too so i add some water with it too......have a go, its not as bad as it sounds. With regards to the serving size, i normally go for 2 hand fulls.

It seems like a pretty good diet, but I need to know your goals to really determine how great it is (and total macros).

I eat about 2600 calories per day right now and I my diet contains less food than yours so I am wondering how many total calories you are taking in with that diet. My foods might just be more calorie dense, but it seems like your total calories might be pretty high. Which is good if you are trying to build muscle maybe not so good if you are trying to cut. But I could be wrong about your calories, let us know the macros if you can!

what, a bulk and no whole milk? lol

I don't drink milk unless trying to gain weight. Lots of fat, some protein, and calories. I try to get about 3500 a day. How many do you get? Probably don't know huh?

Please don't view fat as some kind of enemy. Thats stuff for t.v. and magazines. I would try to get zero transfat though as that stuff is like poison.

I tell people to drink conventional(non organic) whole milk because it has all the good steroids they shoot in the cows! You need to track your total calories, your fat, protein, and carbs...in grams. and your weight fluctuations. Go to fitday.com if you want to.

I never drink whole milk personally just because I would rather eat more food and just drink water =).

I don't avoid fat, on my lifting days I take in about 80-90g of fat and on non lifting days it is between 110-120. I just am in love with natty peanut butter and could eat is all day, so I choose to save my fat cals for that =)

Whats the macs and cals on this smudge?

 

[Smudge]

Im really sorry for not replying earlier but the house has taken over my life once again! What a nightmare! But now its all sorted im ready to start my diet tomorrow. Looking to take in 4000 cals per day over a space of 8 meals which works out to 480 cals per meal. Should be easy enough to be honest.
