Here is my life story. I started weightlifing seriously in January of '05. Made great gains and gained about 20lbs (newbie gains). Then, I started cutting around July. Bad idea...didn't lose much fat and just ended up wasting a month or two. Then decided to bulk, but just ate more food not keeping track of what I was eating (didn't eat enough)...gained barely anything. Then, tried cutting again...same results as before. Then tried bulking again, same results.

My training program is great and I workout at 100%. But, the diet has always been my weak link. So, I have decided to give another shot at bulking, but do it in a smart way. I am tracking my calories in Fitday. Below is a link to my Fitday log. You can switch the date at the top to see my past logs.

I am weighing in at about 157lbs (not much above what I weighed last June, go figure)

I plan on eating a diet with about 1.5-2g of protein per lb or bodyweight with a 40:40:20 carb/pro/fat ratio of my 3200-3500 calories. I'm hoping for a 1lb per week weight gain.

Hopefully tracking my diet to make sure I am getting enough calories at the correct ratio will pay off.

I plan on eating my favorite BB foods:

MILK!!!!!!:crazy1: :crazy1: :crazy1:
PB&J
Brown rice
Chicken boobs mmmmm
Tuna
Oatmeal
Natural peanut butter
Yummy protein bars (I love eBay for these...cheap!!)

I need to add some olive oil. I'll buy some the next time I am at the store

Any comments or tips would be greatly appreciated!
