Of course 3J is the authority on this, but it seems like your putting a little too much protein in each meal not sure you can absorb all that at once.

 

[Larrybird]

I agree with the above poster. I think an article I found on this website said that your body can only absorb 40g of protein every 1 and 1/2 hours.

If I were you, I'd cut some of the protein and carbs and up the fat to about 100g

Is your BMR with exercise really close to 4,000?

That's a lot of food!

You are a bigger dude though.

You will definitely gain on that diet, there is no doubt, but you might gain a lot of fat along with muscle.

 

[panchosurfs]

Sounds logical. I guess I can cut the protien down and I definitely don't want to gain fat so some of the carbs can be cut as well and not only that it will make it easier on my pocket tryin to keep my fridge full with all that food! ^.^

Thanks for ur inputs.

You will definitely gain on that diet, there is

This is a hotly debated topic which most disagree with. I know 3J thinks the 40g limit per meal is hogwash. I do too. Sure there is a limit, the question is what is it? I try and get 1.75g per lb of protein. I try and keep that constant whether I'm cutting or bulking. I vary my carbs/fats. Depending on whether I'm cutting or bulking.

Your choices aren't bad but could be cleaner. Try to get some casein protein at nite. Maybe switch the fish for lean red meat for your final meal.

Take a look at 3J's sticky thread and look at his sample bulking diet. I think it's around 4000 cal daily. That would give you a good idea of the macro splits.

Also try to get an even split of your protein for meals 1-7, try to get your carbs in meals 1-4 (and pwo), save your fats for later meals and try to avoid carbs and fats together (or at least try and limit it)

 

[Miss Muscle]

For a bulking diet this looks solid. I'd put in a few more vegetables but otherwise it looks good to pack on the muscle.

 

[panchosurfs]

welter - i wont lie i dont stick too it one hundred percent every day, once every 3 or 4 days ill switch it up.. for example in the morning if im in a rush and didnt cook my eggs.. ill get 8 oz of straight egg whites and 2 scoops of protien and blend it up and have the whole wheat toast only. and some nights i do switch it up to some lean ground beef or a 6 oz steak with a sweet potato if im really not in the mood for fish. and good point with the carbs early n fats later.

miss muscle- thank you! i really hate eating vegetables but i do try to incorporate them into my breakfast and midmorning snack and force myself to eat em but not everyday.

ima look into 3js bulking diet sticky as well.

thanks for your inputs - hopefully i can get this diet down to a tee asap and get some solid results.

also quick question.. i read that when on a bulking cycle its a good idea to throw in some creatine since it promotes protein sysnthesis and some water retention that helps with the joints.. i was thinking since tren ace is in this equation it would get rid of unnecessary water retention and probably benefit me and help give me more muscle roundness and mass.. so i decided to throw in some size-on and drink it during the workout.. do you guys think it will benefit me or will it decrease my gains with the diet and gear alone.. ive only taken it for two days now. so any input would be helpful too!!
