First time poster but I've been reading the boards for some time now. I'm looking to start a new bulking diet and would like some feedback from you all. Here is what I'm currently eatting. I have a few questions I will mention at the end of the post.

7:00 AM - 1 Cup Oatmeal
1 Cup Skim Milk
5 Egg Whites
1 Whole Egg
Apple
1 Scoop Whey Protein in water
REMOVE THE EGGS ALL TOGETHER EXCEPTY MAYBE 3 WHITES AND ADD ABOUT 30 MORE CARBS.

10:00 AM - 150ml Skim Milk
250ml Water
1 tbsp Peanut Butter
1/2 Cup Oats
1 Scoop Whey Protein
1 Banana
(This meal is in sem-liquid form because I work in the trade and don't have time to eat a full meal on break)
THIS MEAL LOOKS GOOD


12:00 PM - 2 Cans of Tuna
Onions and Lettuce
Whole Wheat Pita Bread
Frank's Red Hot Sauce!
Apple
DOUBLE THE MORE CARBS AND YANK ABOUT .5 CANS OF TUNA


2:00 PM - Same as 10:00 AM meal

4:00 or 5:00 - Pre-Workout 2 Scoops NO-Explode

I'M NOT A SUPP BUFF, BUT I BELIEVE NO-EXPLODE IS A PROTEIN. IF IT IS, ADD TONS OF CARBS HERE AND REDUCE THE PROTEIN.

6:00 or 7:00 - Post-Workout 2 Scoops Whey in Water
5g Glutamine
2 Scoops All-Max Krush Creatine (Dextrose in it)
HOW MUCH DEXTROSE IS THERE? CARBS SHOULD BE 2:1 PWO TO PROTEIN.

7:30 or 8:00 - 1 Large Chicken Breast or Fish
2 Cups of Rice or Pasta (COOKED I HOPE, 2 CUPS DRY RICE IS LIKE 1200 KCALS)

1 Cup Mixed Vegetables
Apple

10:00 - 1 Scoop of Whey Protein with 1 tbsp of flax oil.
Sleep!

ADD A CASEIN, RED MEAT, CHICKEN OR FISH HERE. YOU NEED A SLOW DIGESTING PROTEIN. AT LEAST 50 GRAMS.

This is what I have put together and been eatting for a few days now. I am limited in my eating during the week while I am at work but I do my best. I have a feeling I might need some more healthy fats and possibly some multi-vitamins? Please let me know what you think, I am always looking for things to improve on.

This is general info based on proper macro ratios. I have know way of knowing what your caloric maintenance, and for that matter, bulk calories are.

Stats might help.


Don't forget your multi

I was told I should bulk on around 3500 calories and that my maintenance calories was around 2500. What kind of multi would you recommend taking? I also have a couple questions regarding training if you don't mind me PMing you?
