I've used the diet to gain AND lose weight...it was good either way, but I am also very much a "protein type." If you're more a "carb type", you might do poorly on this diet. It's hard to say until you know how you respond to carbs. Do you do better on a lower carb diet? Anything else you want to know?

i'm very leasn to begin with, so i try to get more carbs in to bulk up, but find it difficult to do. So i guess i'm also a protein guy too. I get most of my carbs from a weight gainer i'm currently using ("Heavy Weight Gainer 900"). Two a day.... one for breakfast, the other PW.
I'm currently taking in ~340 gms protein, ~450 gms carbs. Any ideas on how to bump up the calorie count? Here's my avg diet:

Breakfast pr carb fat
Weight gainer shake 50 120 20

Snack 1
oatmeal bar 4 45 4
protein shake 45 25 10

Lunch
1 cup rice 6 45 4
1 can tuna 37 0 6

Snack 2 4 45 4
same as snack 1 45 25 10

Dinner
1 serving pasta 8 48 4
6 oz steak 40 0 12

prework out
protein shake 45 25 10

postworkout
weight gainer 50 120 20

Total 334 498 104

total cals ................. 4264

Bro, you're only eating 2 meals a day. You need to replace the shakes with real food.

Second, if you're getting 450g of carbs comming mostly from weight gainers (probably maltodextrin) and you're also LEAN, I'd venture to say you're not a protein type. If you can stay lean eating like that then it's likely you're a carb type.

So replace the shakes with real food (except post-workout)....meaning meat, whole eggs, veggies, rice, oats, etc. Eat a good amount of carbs, but concentrate more carbs in the 4 hours post-workout. Eat natural foods and eat LOTS of it, and you should be good.

thanks for the reply.....
i figured on the food part. But it's just tough to eat solid food and keep it @ 4500 calories. Would it help to replace the breakfast shake with solid food? the 2 snacks is combo of shake
and solid (oatmeal bar). what do you think?

Other than post-workout shakes, protein shakes should only be used in combo with real food protein, i.e. chicken breast and a scoop of whey, eggs and whey, milk and whey, etc.

Agree, shakes shouldn't replace real food, It's hard to get in high cals, but is all about preparation.
