Looks good to me. Emma will definitely tell you where you are going right and wrong. The only thing that sticks out to me, is that you are consuming 8 meals. I'm no good with dieting so I wouldn't know if this is bad or not, but most people bulking tend to stick around the 5-6 meals per day, including mainly protein and carbs. But to me, the diet looks tip-top.

Can you eat too many meals assuming your'e total caloric intake remains unchanged?

 

[Emma-Leigh]

8 meals is fine. Everyone is individual.

I can't give specifics as you have not given specifics as to your serving sizes or anything like that.... but a few suggestions:

BREAKFAST-730am
Protein Shake
2 Weetabix
Mutil Vitamins
Glutamine
Creatine

Rather small meal here - esp for someone your size and with your goals. I would add more - what about having a bowl of oats instead of weetbix? And add some healthy fats here too... Could do with some fruit or skim milk/dairy too...

MID MORNING-10.30am
Tin tuna
2 Slices Wholemeal
Banana

Add some vegetables and some healthy fats here.

DINNER-1.00pm
2 Backed potato
Half Chicken
Tin Rice Pudding

Add some vegetables.
Half a chicken is a little extreme for protein portion... Try 1 large or 2 small chicken breasts (max of 5-6 oz). Add some healthy fats too.
Canned rice pudding?? Ummm... doesn't sound all that good....

MID AFTERNOON-3.30pm
Protein Shake
Apple

Add some healthy fats here.

1HR BEFORE TRAINING
Ceareal/musli Bar
Banana

Add some protein - some whey would be ideal.
I would also get a better carb source than a muesli bar... The banana is good, but what about some milk/oats or something else?

POST GYM
Carb Drink
Glutamine
Precision Protein
Creatine

Looks fine (if you want to do the carb drink thing). Just make sure it is enough for what you need (serving sizes are large enough).

TEA-7.00PM
Meat and Veg

A good mix of carbs, protein, fats and vegetables is great.

1HR BEFORE BED-9.30PM
1 Tin Tuna
Glutamine
Creatine

You don't need another serve of creatine... 2 serves/day is fine....
I'd ditch the glutamine altogether (in my opinion it is a waste of money unless you are cutting, sick or doing endurance training).
Might want to add some healthy fats to this meal and you could also add some cottage cheese or casein protein to increase the length of digestion of this meal....
