My current stats :

Age : 26 Height : 67,7 inches Body Fat : 17 % LBS : 145 Years of training: 2 years
BMR : 1600 KCAL calculated with Harris Benedict formula
All my life I was a skinny fat guy so for the moment am not looking very good, I have a big gut and bassically all my fat is concentrated on abdomen ( visceral fat and subcutaneous fat waist stat 33,5 inches), no fat stored on my chest , legs or hands or any other place.
I am currently trying to obtain some lean body mass and I want to bulk until I obtain 165 lbs, then I will try a small cut(to 154 lbs) to reduce my abdominal fat.

Personally, every meal you have whey protein, with exception of pwo, I would replace with whole protein. Meal two I would make that a protein veg meal also. AND that's a ton of protein for lbs of 146? I would personally shoot for 2 grams per pound of LBM. If you are trying to lean bulk, I'd consider increasing complex carbs instead. Start with two grams per LBM and increase to maybe 3 grams. Monitor with tape measurements, not so much scales. Impo...

I have tried with a total of 200 grams of carbs per day and 300 grams of protein and gained 1,37 inches on waist so this was not good, I am trying to earn some muscles with a minimum of fat that's why I have chose to eat minimum carbs only in the morning and after training.
