Hello, Please rate my Bulk Diet!

[Bulk4Life]

Hello everyone! I'm new to this board and have a great new love for bodybuilding. I've been seriously lifting for about 3 months now and have been bulking for about 2 months. However I am extremely smaller than most of you. At the start of my bulk i was about 83 lbs. Now i am about 88, so I have been gaining weight and ive noticed some good gains in my lifts too. At the beginning I could only bench about 95 as my max and now i can do 120! I have been very happy with my gains and i have also come up with a good diet plan. Now remember before saying "o that is not enough calories", that im only 88 lbs, so it wont take 3000 or 4000 calories for me to put on weight. I want to put on alot of weight, but i dont want to much fat at once. I'm shooting for about 1 or 2 lbs a week. Well here it is, any comments to make it better are appreciated:

10:00 - 1 cup oatmeal
3/4 cup eggbeaters
fat free shredded cheese
Meal Totals - 410 calories/32 protein

12:30 - (Pre-Work) 1 scoop of ON whey
1 cup of skim milk
Meal Totals - 200 calories/32 protein

2:00 - (Post-Work) 1 scoop of ON whey mixed with water
3/4 scoop of gatorade powder
Meal Totals - 170 calories/23 protein

2:30 - 7 oz. boneless skinless chicken breast
3/4 cup (dry measure) of whole wheat pasta
1/3 cup diced tomatoes
Meal Totals - 350 calories/41 protein

5:30 - Dinner (Whatever parents cook, usually some type of meat and veggies)
Meal Totals - 450 calories/25 protein (estimates)

8:00 - 1/2 cup cottage cheese
2 slices of whole wheat bread
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
Meal Totals - 370 calories/25 protein

Totals - 1950 calories/178 protein

Well let me know how it looks and if i should add/subtract or change anything.

88lbs? ... umm how old are you? how tall? male/female?

 

[gr81]

just about to ask the same thing aj?

 

[Bulk4Life]

im like 5'1 and 15 and i am in eighth grade. also im a male. I know im small, but its in my family genetics becuase my dad is small also

I really don't think its too important for you to be following a strict diet at 15 bro. I mean its great that you are learning to establish healthy habits and all that, but I think at your age, the most important thing is getting in the calories and eating frequently. The gains are gonna take a few years of training before they come, until then, just get comfortable and eat eat eat, and give it time

 

[Bulk4Life]

yea but how does it look. just let me know this. ive been following for like a month and dont want to see it go down the drain. i know im only 15, but im serious about getting bigger and dont mind following a diet plan.

I told you, it doesn't look like enough. At your age you hormone levels are through the roof, take advantage of that shit maYn, get all the calories that you can in. The food choices are great, just eat more and don't be afraid to be fairly lenient with the diet. It won't ruin anyting for you, there are different ways to go about things at a younger age. Its gonna take some time to put on that weight, you have to be patient. its great that you are learning te value of nutrition at your age, fo real. I htink there aren't enough carbs thou. like your second and third meal are just basically protien shakes with barely any carbs. double your totals and get used to that, teh weight will come!

Eat bigger to be bigger.
Clean eating is great but you need calorie dense foods like
Pasta
Burgers
Beef
Milk
Peanut Butter
Cottage Cheese
whole grain bread,as well as some of the foods you listed.

You probably don't quite need that much protein. In fact, too much protein is hard on your kidneys. You would probably be fine with 100-120g of protein per day. 1-1.5x your bodyweight is a good range to stay in.

You need to eat some carbs before your workout. Oatmeal, barley, brown rice, and sweet potatoes are some of the best sources available.

You need more fat. Don't load up on cheese and whole milk, but get some essential fatty acids in there. Peanut butter, almond butter, flax seeds, fish oil, and olive oil are some of the better fats that you can have. You need some fats at every meal.

I also say eat some more fruits and vegetables if you can. You can never eat too many vegetables. I eat salads with olive/canola oil based dressings and ground flax seed to get in my EFAs.

thanx so much for all the help guys. i was thinking about buying fish oil pills for some more fat. i have 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (natural) on whole wheat bread and a half a cup of cottage cheese before i go to bed. is this a good bedtime meal?

 

[tjwes]

Yes it is!

Good luck in your training.

Sounds like me when I was that age. I think I started eating healthy when I was like 13. Wish I had lifted and eaten enough then With the hormones racing around in your bloodstream, follow the above advice and you'll be smokin in no time! ....oh...and please have a talk to my kids so they start eating like you. They certaninly don't listen to me

I might skip the bread, but if you're not gaining fat as a result don't worry about it. I eat PB and cottage cheese every night before sleeping. I love it! Cottage cheese has casein protein that stays in your system a long time. This is good because you're next meal isn't coming until you wake up.
