Can someone help me with my Diet

[Bdub]

Okay so can anyone help me…

I have been in cycle for Feb 01
1 cc deca and 2cc test a week every week done on Sunday and Wednesday

I started at 209
I am now at 219 or so but not only that I have seemed to gain more fat in my mid section then muscle. I have seen some gains in strength, tone and some size but it don’t seem to be as much as I would have thought.

My work out.

6 day a week work out Sundays off.. but I don’t think it’s the work outs that has been lacking

Diet, 6 + meal a day

5 am Protein bar and 2 glass’s of skim milk
8 am sandwich (roast beef, chicken, turkey) on white wheat one glass of skim milk, 1 low fat yogurt

11 am Chicken breast, pot roasts, turkey a lot of Hormel stuff, and a lot of times whole wheat pasta or vegetables or sweet potato. Try to stick with the slow burning carbs… 2 glasses of skim milk

2 pm an apple with some 1 serving of peanut butter or sometimes another sandwich, 1 x glass of skim milk

4:00 pm protein drink 25 grams of protein

5 pm work out till 6:30

7 pm, eat another chicken breasts, pork, turkey, veggies, whole wheat pasta, and another protein drink of 25 grams of protein post work out.

9 pm, eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich

Ends up being about 2700 – 3000 cals a day
200 grams of protein
350 grams of carbs

I seem to only be gaining fat weight or at least that what it looks like.. I am cutting back the carbs to help this..


So where are my faults at here?

thank in advance..

double your protein.

edit: actually, id get it up to 460g/day.

on cycle, you want to take advantage of the increased protein synthesis.

I agree with not enough protein...but the fact that your gaining fat doesn't make much sense to me. You shouldn't be getting "Fat" on less than 3000cals a day...I start getting pudgy when I eat 5000+.

Working out 6 days a week seems excessive for bulking, unless some of those days include cardio/small body parts (calfs, forearms). I'd stick to 3-4 weight training days a week max, hitting major body parts directly only 1 time a week.

What's your current training routine?

 

[Bdub]

Okay Suareezay thank you for the input.. I will definitly increase the protein.

Sorry outlaw I guess FAT would be too strong of a term and pudgy would be better word for it I guess. For one im not used to having pudge I guess but what I was more getting at was that it feels and was looking like I was gaining more fat then muscle.

well my work out is rigorous on purpose because it just didnt seem like I could get the overall intensity from just 3 - 4 days work out. you know as if I wasnt able to work my muscles enough with just one day a week. I thought maybe im a bit of a hard gainer or something. Is more rest the idea of the 3 or 4 day work out?

Below is my work out as is right now 3 light days then 3 heavy days. I made sure to get plenty of rest and most days I felt great in the gym.

Do you still suggest that I move to this a different work out?

Thur

460g of protein/day? Fuck that.

6 days/week? hmmm....

Train with proper intensity, and you won't be able to work out more than 3-4 days/week because you'll be so sore.

That said, I'm purposely trying to over train lately. I won't go down that road here, however.

 

[Bdub]

I understand the fact that it appears to be overstraining but I was just trying it out seeing if it worked and it seemed too work better so I stuck with it for a little while. I knew what the norm was I just tried something different thats all... I'm just figuring things out while staying open to the more experienced.

460 seemed like an a lot to me too.. I guess depending on his size I guess..

So would you say 250 - 275 is a good first jump?

 

[GymLift]

yes.
