[HDbuff810]

Hey guys / girls this is my first time posting here but I have been looking around on this site for a few years . Well i will start off by saying a little about my self . 29yrs old 5'11" and 198 pounds 13% bf . I have one cycle under me if you could even call it that I was 18 years old and didn't know what I was doing . I found this website trying to reasearch steroids awhile ago because I wanted to start a cycle and the more I read the more I realized I wasn't ready . In the meantime I began drinking a lot and went from a pretty lean 205 down to 183 . I have quit drinking for almost 2 years and really concentrated on lifting right and im up to 198. I'm not the type of person to ask for advise ( cause i dont like to bother people) but I feel as if I can't get this whole diet thing down . I have read and read but I just can't seem to wrap my head around it .I want to start a cycle but not until I can get my diet in check . So please let me know what you think of my meals . I work out 5 days a week 2hrs a day & work construction

too many protien shakes stick to your pwo shake only. Ditch the milk.

quit trying to hit high protien, start eating more carbs they are essential to grow.
while bulking I have see good results with 1gram protien per body pound and 2 grams
carbs per pound.

I don't know how you guys working construction manage to maintain consistency in your diet and training. I have an active job which requires I be out on the road for extended periods of time and I often don't know where I'm going to be for the day, so my stress is more of a brain strain. It's far from an office job, but there isn't a lot of physical tasks. I manage to get my meals in (love my 6-pack fitness cooler bag) and can be, for the most part, consistent in my training. It's just the times I train that vary a lot. When I work with my dad if he needs extra men on, who is a tradesperson, I'm physically fucked and struggle to get to the gym (thank God for pre wo powders). Also, because I'm distracted lifting, moving, digging, hammering etc etc I often don't realise it's time to eat. So props to you HDbuff and good luck with the bulk! I have a lot of respect for you guys.

Thanks for the reply . I will definitely try to take some of the shakes out. Any suggestions what to replace them with ? My intent wasn't to have that high of protein I was shooting for 300g . I almost have to have the 9:30 shake because I only have a 15 min break and half of that time is usually me walking back to our break area . And my other problem is that carbs seem to fill me up and make me feel like shit for a while after but that may because I am not used to it . I will give it a shot . I appreciate the input . Am I getting enough fats should I be taking flax seed oil or something with one of me meals ?

You should be taking your Carb intake evenly from meal one to five. This diet looks more like a cutter. The calories are right but the macro timing is off. And your protein is wayy to high. Lower your protein to 300 and up your carbs to 450

cook your meals and throw them in a cooler if your on the road then u just have to find a microwave at a gas station shouldnt be too hard
