Good macro breakdown

[MeatWad]

right now im on a 50p/40c/10f nutrient breakdown, and i was wondering if there was something better out there for putting on size.

I want to try something like 33/33/33 but the protein and carbs seem too low and the fat seems to high. Maybe something like 40/40/20 would work better?

How is 10% even possible eating real food? That's way too low.

For crying out loud, oatmeal is 17% fat. Maybe if you're eating TONS of rice and chicken you might be able to get 10%, but you would need a lot of rice compared to chicken, or rice and egg whites. But that's just dumb. You need more fat than that and it leaves absolutely no room for EFAs. Further more, eating THAT low in fat is a good way to trash your testosterone levels and get deficiencies in fat soluable vitamins.

I did some figuring...the only way to get a 50/40/10 ratio like you said is if you're eating very little meat (4 chicken breasts), 10 cups rice, 12 eggs whites, and 5 scoops of protein powder.

That's no good for bulking. You should eat foods like beef, whole eggs, lots of meat, etc.

Calm down Frosty....hehehe
I agree that 10% fat is far too low.
Meatwad, perhaps you could post a sample of your diet so we can see where you're at.

Frosty...that basically IS all i eat, haha.

Fyre...this is what i eat day in and day out, monday - friday, but weekends are pretty similiar. The only meal that ever really changes is meal 6, which is sometimes replaced by a restaurant meal, which is usually a fillet with mashed potatoes and veggies.
Meal 1:
Ny-Tro-Pro-40 MRP
1 cup skim milk

Meal 2:
5oz grilled chicken
1/2 cup brown rice
1/2 cup veggies

Meal 6:

1/2 cups brown rice
1/2 cup veggies

Meal 7:
Ny-Tro-Pro-40 MRP

For about 2 months i was making some ok size gains and actually losing bodyfat, but for the past month, i have actually been GAINING fat (on my belly) and not gaining anymore muscle whatsoever.

I think my diet is on the right track, its just misguided. What if i kept the amount of protein where it is (~300g), upped the carbs a little, and took Udos oil or flaxseed oil at all my meals (except pre and post workout, and my next 2 pwo meals)?
