Critique my bulking diet.

I'm 24 yo. 5'9" 185 lbs looking to add as much mass as possible without getting too fat. BF is prob somewhere around 12 - 15% right now and I'm not currently on AAS.

Please feel free to bash me as much as possible on this, any criticism will only help and will be appreciated. Here goes...

Gym - 6:30 - 7:30
7:45 Protein Shake High in Carbs

8:30 6 egg whites, banana, 6oz. turkey sandwich, oatmeal bar

10:30 Tuna Rollup, apple

1:00 Lunch, usually some type of meat sandwich with 1/2 lb. pasta on the side.

3:00 Protein Shake

5:00 Tuna Rollup, apple

7:00 Dinner, steak, chicken, or fish with 2 servings vegatables.

9:30 Another sandwich w/ 6oz meat, whatever is in the fridge.

10:30 Protein Shake

I'm sorry if this is a little vague in the protein/carbs info, but this is just a general idea. I'm also looking for something Pre-workout that I can consume 1/2 hour before my workout. Thanks bros!

If you want something that u can consume preworkout which u will take 30 mins before hand it will; have to be a shake since solid take 100minutes to breakdown. I'll write more after work.

If mass is the goal Get something in you before the gym. Peferabley whole food about 45-min to an hr. then hit the shake post workout with 30-40 grams of simple carbs. rest look good, just shovel in the protein.

I would say at least 8 Oz. of meat each portion and if your worried about increased BF, then cut the bread out.
How many cals are we talking about?

The biggest probelm i see is there is no actuaul amount written out. How much tuna is in a tuna rollup, in ounces??? You have to be anal when it comes to diet so that you know exactly how much of anything your getting.

For postworkout i would suggest a shake made up of maltodextrose/dextrose and whey protein. A ratio like 2:1 carbs to protein. So 100-120 carbs and 50-60 grams of protein.

Preworkout i would have something that breaks down fast so your body is working on that while your trying to lift.

I like how it looks.

Weigh yourself when you wake up the morning you start.

Weight yourself when you wake up 2 weeks later. If you've gained, you're doing good, take a look in the mirror, are you gaining too much fat? Maybe cut out some carbs.

If you aren't gaining after two weeks, try adding some more clean carbs or fats like all natural peanut butter (Can easily be added to your protein shakes in a blender).


How is it coming so far bro' ? Give us some updates

Well I have gained a few lbs. since I started 4 weeks ago. Went from 186 - 188.

My tuna rollups are a full can of tuna 45 g protein. I decided to just to with a protein shake 30 mins. before my workout. Other than that...I get about 300 g protein daily. Not sure on the calories...

I'm telling ya, if ya really want to see the gains you want you have to be anal about your diet

Geez...you don't have to be mean about it. LOL. Joking man. I'll figure all the details tonight protein/carbs/fat/calories and post it again tomorrow. Thanks for the help guys.

NO worries bro, but usually what happens is the ppl think there getting more Kcals than they really are. Thats the reasoning behind writing it all down so u know exactly how much. Also if your bulking i would up the Kcal amount each week by 300Kcal of more depending on how you react. You may need to lower the amounts, you'll never know till you write it down.
