follow a 35/45/20 diet (roughly)
at 3500 calories you're macros should look like:
300g protien
400g carbs
77g fats
if ur on this diet and u notice that your still gaining too much weight.. u can do two things
1. lower ur calories through ur carbs 300 calories a week untill u ONLY gain 1-1.5lbs a week
2. drop your carbs and up your fats.. i would do this first..
for every 2 grams of carbs u drop add a gram of fat.. that'll rougly equal out..
so i would rather have it look like this
300g protein
300g carbs
122g fats
experiment with it.. it seems u dont exactly know what u need to do to bulk yet.. these are just starting points..
revamp your diet to meet one of the said criteria above and ill critique it again.. also look at my sample bulking diet on page one for inspiration and reference.. its good stuff
Hey 3J, You helped me out a few weeks ago and I`ve worked out my diet accordingly. I find it difficult to keep my carbs low w/out sacrificing calories so at the end of the day I find myself lagging behind in calories so I try to make up for it then. I have been dead on with my fats though. Here is a sample of what I have been doing.
