damn bro why the fuck are you up so early? either way, the first meal looks good, just as long as the oatmeal isnt that instant shit. has to be good old fashioned oats. sweeten them with honey or blue agave if you have to. the post workout shake at 745am should consist of a good 50-60 grams of protein (not here to debate protein absorption right now) at 9:50 make sure those deli slices are low sodium and your good to go with that meal. 4:00pm meal needs to be low or no fat cottage cheese and 98% lean. after 4pm though i'd suggest getting rid of the bread carbs, and getting them through veggies like spinach and broccoli etc... and for your last meal at 9:30 if your eating because your hungry then you can get away with it, but if its for nutrients, try getting a slow digesting protein like caisen and your all set.

the oatmeal packets are fine.
1. youre eating them for breakfast
2. youre a college athlete, you burn 69,439,349,239,994 calories a day

sodium is also fine unless you have a preexisting condition

the beef does not have be 98% lean

carbs after 4pm are fine (see points 1 and 2, plus the fact that youre trying to gain)

like i said, you an athlete, which means you burn a fuckload of calories, and ill bet a dollar you partition calories better than most people anyway, you dont have to eat like an OCD precontest BBer.

add 2 more meat sources (2 more chicken breast, 1 breast and 2 cans tuna etc) more real meat.

Also, more carbs...potatoes, yams, pasta (whole wheat or not) cuz it looks like most of your carbs are from slices of bread or pita's, which aren't very significant.

what are your stats?

im the same way, i eat super clean even when im bulking. but then again 30 minutes of cardio is the most activity i do...i bet this guy is burning 1000 cals a day just from football practice, if not more.
