Alright guys, so im gonna be startin my first cycle soon already got post cycle therapy (pct) planned out and everything, just making sure ill be able to reach my goals with the diet im on now.
For my cycle ill be injecting 300mg of
test e 2x weekly. So heres my diet mon-fri
(always 100% commited to this diet, i never eat anything that isnt part of it)

Meal one (6:30 am): 1 egg, 4 eggwhites, 3 pieces of whole wheat toast, 10oz skim milk with 1.5 tbs. of olive oil, and one scoop of whey protein

Meal two (9:00 am): 3/4 of my HOMEMADE WEIGHTGAIN SHAKE, consists of 2 cups of skim milk, 2.5 scoops of whey protein, 1.5 cups of 100% natural whole grain quaker 1 minutes oats, and 1.5 tbs. of olive oil totaling out at 1110 calories in all (i drink 3/4 or it at a time so over 800 cals.)

Meal three (11:00 am): 3/4 of my HOMEMADE WEIGHTGAIN SHAKE (over 800 cals)

Meal four (1:00 pm): 1/2 of my HOMEMADE WEIGHTGAIN SHAKE (555 cals0

Meal five pre-workout(3:00 pm): 4 oz grilled chicken, whole wheat pasta w/1.5 tbs. olive oil

Meal six post-workout(6:00 pm): either 8oz of chicken breast, or 10oz of NY strip, whole wheat pasta w/ 1.5 tbs.

Meal seven (8:30 pm): either 8oz of chicken breast, or 10oz of NY strip, whole wheat pasta w/ 1.5 tbs.

Meal eight bedtime (10:00 pm): casein protein shake, 16oz skim milk, 2 scoops of casein (over 400 cals total)


Sat. and Sun. diet: same as monday through friday except i get up 2hrs. later so it cuts off one meal a day and the weight gain shakes are replaced with the whole food meals that i eat in my weekday diet

Alright, so now for my current stats:
Height: 5'11"
Age: 23
Weight: 207 this morning
BF: 10-11%
Bench max for 3 reps: 235
Squat max for 3 reps: 305
Training experience: almost 6 years

Post post cycle therapy (pct) Goals (meaning what i keep after post cycle therapy (pct))

Weight:232
BF: Same or hopefully not too much more than what i began with
Bench Max for 3 reps: 270
Squat Max for 3 reps: 355


So now to answer my question, are these goals attainable with my diet, spot on training, and rest? How would you critique my diet, and sorry but i cant replace the weightgain shakes with whole meals im sorry but im a college student and that would be impossible for me to do but anything other than that please feel free to say.
 
give me the ingredients for the homemade shake

consists of 2 cups of skim milk, 2.5 scoops of whey protein, 1.5 cups of 100% natural whole grain quaker 1 minutes oats, and 1.5 tbs. of olive oil totaling out at 1110 calories, i drink 2 of them at three different times
 
so 3 weight gainers.. which means more then half your protein comes from shakes including your shake in the morning?
 
further looking over your diet.. i'd say 120ish grams of protein come from real food..

do you see a problem here?? whole foods will always work better towards your goals then whey...

is there a reason why you depend so much on shakes? is it a matter of convenience or is it financial?

Yea it's the convienence man im in grad school
 
Im no one yo come down on someone in your position. Im a student myself. Let me look it all over and ill give you some pointers to better the diet
 
Ya know what im actually not gonna be startin my cycle until sometime in january because I want to lose a little more fat, gain a little more lean mass, and gain a little more in strength. As of right now the diet I just posted was what I've been going by and the macronutrient ratios were 50carbs/30protein/20fat, I've been gaining mass but it's not very lean mass I'm startin to see my bodyfat go up a little bit too. So would you reccomend that I change my ratio to 40/40/20 and drop my calories down a little so that I can lose some fat while still gaining some lean mass before my cycle starts?
 
lean bulking is a tricky process of trial and error unless you have a nutritional coach on your side...

you didn't answer my question.. what was your daily totals?

The original diet I posted totals out to 5220 cals a day, this is what you mean by my daily totals right also here's the grams per day for the 50/30/20 ratio
Carbs:590g a day
Protein:354g a day
Fat:104g a day
 
ur gonna put a shit ton of fat on with this diet...


im 280lbs and i dont eat that much to bulk..

here's what i would do... and i would do this before you start the cycle (let me know if you have started)

i would start at

300g protein
400g carbs
80g fats

if your weight doesn't go up by 1-2 lbs in a week..

go to 300g protein 450g carbs 80g fats..

if it still doens't go up go to 350g protein 450g carbs, 80g fats

dont go higher then 350g protein.. u dont need to...

if you do 300g protein 400g carbs and 80g fats and see that you have gained 5lbs in the first week.. cut it down just a little

go 300g p 350g c 80g f..

mess with it till you see a gain of 1-2lbs per week without gear...

that's your "sweet spot"

start your cycle there.. 2 weeks in add 400 calories.. 6 weeks in add 400 calories.. 10 weeks in add 200 calories. and stop adding calories..

when you get into post cycle therapy (pct).. your gonna need a post cycle therapy (pct) diet to help with recovery and maintaining gains..
once your recovered look at your stats and your needs and eat at that level

enjoy

Dude, 3J... Your awesome man thanks a lot for your advice and no, I have not started my cycle yet right now I'm planning on starting sometime right after new years and as far as my post cycle therapy (pct) diet goes will you be helping me on that because I'm not really sure about what "post cycle therapy (pct) diets" are and how theyre structured. Thanks
