College athlete looking for diet suggestions!!

[teej011]

I've been playing college bball now for two years. Im looking to bulk up during the off-season. Anybody have any specific suggestions?

i dont really have any sport-specific information related to basketball at all, but as far as bulking up goes, you just have to eat more calories than youre burning in a day while focusing on continual weight progression in the gym.

give us some basic stats (weight, bodyfat, current diet, training regimine)

 

[Rum&Raisin]

stay away from any white strach foods with a high glycimic index(GI). Eat 5 meals a day with high protein intake like your meats,tuna,oat meal,chicken,red meat,nuts. And your fatty acids(omega 3/6)from avo,nuts,olive oil. Then for carbs use rye rice,brown rice-anything low GI!if you will be eating your straches ,eat it before 3 in order to get it burned. Shakes are also good meal alternatives,but nothing beats your whole food!!

 

[Suareezay]

constructing a diet based around GI scale is pretty much useless.

especially when your bulking I cant see anything wrong with white pasta or rice. GI is just another fix diet that tells you half truths. for example your foods gi i altered by mixing it with other foods. fat slows absorbation. and the gi value is based on 50 g of carbs and your blood sugar will be significantly higher if you munch down 300 g from brown rice than 50 g white
