Stats

Age: 20
Status: bulking
Height: 6"2
Weight: 195lbs
Bodyfat: 15 - 17%
Lifestyle: Weight train 3 times a week, cardio 2 times a week, either one of these is done at 19:00 (training drinking water throughout), on none training days I skip out my 20:00PWO shake


08:30: 50g whey + water, 50g oatmeal, 100ml skimmed milk, 20g peanut butter *** 40g protein, 40g carbs, 23g fat

11:00: 150g chicken breast, 1 wholemeal pittabread, lettuce, onions, low fat mayo *** 30g protein, 30g carbs, 5g fat

13:30: 200g Lean minced beef, low fat sauce, 200g mixed veggies, apple *** 40g protein, 35g carbs, 20g fat

16:00: Weight gain shake (100ml skimmed milk, 50g whey, 25g oats, 1 banana) *** 50g protein, 40g carbs, 5g fat

18:00: 150g chicken breast, 2 slices granary, low fat mayo, lettuce *** 30g protein, 40g carbs, 5g fat

19:00: Training (drinking water throughout)

20:00: PWO shake 50g whey, 75g dextrose,,*** 40g protein, 78g carb, 3g fat

21:00: 300g chicken breast, 50g basmati rice, 200g mixed vegetables, low fat sauce *** 60g protein, 65g carb, 5g fat

23:00: 50g whey, 500ml skimmed milk, 10ml flaxseed oil *** 58g protein, 30g carb, 15g fat



358 carbs = 1432

348 protein = 1392

81 fat = 729

3553 cals

Considering lowering the carbs because for me I seem to put on fat very easily when it comes to carbs, considering lowering carbs to 300g thus lowering the calories to 3300 cals.

Also, I dislike all seafood

What do you guys think?

For the most part it looks good. However, are you sure that you can bulk on 3300 calories? If you cut out some carbs, I would recommend that you replace the calories with either fat or some protein. I'm pretty carb sensitive too so even when I bulk my carbs are relatively low. How did you go about figuring out your calorie requirements?

The one meal that I would definitely change is the last one, here:

23:00: 50g whey, 500ml skimmed milk, 10ml flaxseed oil *** 58g protein, 30g carb, 15g fat

I wouldn't consume the skim milk right before bed (simple carbs). Combining the carbs with a fat (flaxseed oil) isn't a great idea either in my opinion. Plus, whey protein is quickly digested, something you don't want right before bed. I would choose a different protein source.

Hi Aboot, thanks for the reply,

Im pretty sure my maintenance is around the 2500 - 2800 calorie mark (this has been put to the test via trial and error, and recently I just done that BMR calculation and it seems that both results are pretty much the same, im definatly around 2500 - 2800 calorie mark)

Yeah I thought people may have a problem with my before bed shake, basically I have milk because it slows down the absorbtion of the whey protein, remember that milk is casein protein.

I refuse to buy casein protein because I cannot afford this, however I am considering taking an alternative, ive been hearing that just whey protein + flaxseed oil would work because fat is very slow absorbing and thus slows down the absorbtion of the whey protein, ive heard this from a lot of people and just from checking sticky in the diet section "Sticky: The Bulking Primer - Lean Mass Outline & Sample Diet - LeanMeOut"

He states that his before bed meal is

"Meal 8: Before Bed
3 Scoops of whey Protein, 1.5 Tbsp. Flax Seed Oil
60g protein / 3g carbs / 21g Fat"

So do you think I would be fine to swap around the milk for just flaxseed oil?

lastly, surely milk + whey is fine as the milk is casein? please explain

once again, many thanks Aboot

I drink the same shake before bed every night. I also don't buy cassein just don't like spending money on two different powders, rather spend it on TEST!
I thought this shake was fine before bed? ^Point well made above I also thought the milk would slow down the absorbtion of the whey?
