My First Bulking Diet

A_N_91 · 06-10-2006, 10:31 PM

So excited that I'm finally gonna start bulking. I finished cutting and realized that I just don't have enough muscle to show when I cut even more. So this is my bulking diet, please critique:

My weight is weird. Right now it says that I'm 190-200 but I looked fatter in the mirror when I was 170. Weird. So I just stick with mirror. The diet is also P/C/F 40/30/30

I know my food choices suck, but I have to pay for it myself and can't pay for anything better.

If you're seeking mass, you need carbs. Add carbs here

You shouldn't gain much weight fast off this diet, if any at all, unless you are a big endo. You need more veggies (if possible) and to vary your carb sources (if possible)

Yeah, I talked to my trainer and he said that he wants me lower down the road after lots of training. So about 6-8 months, nothin to worry about much though.

Why not, I am an endo BTW

I can try to add some veggies but I doubt I can change carb sources.

When you have 2 cans of tuna fish, why not make a double tuna sandwhich on 100% whole wheat bread? I also sometimes eat toast for breakfast. Toast kicks ass!

Yeah, I'll think I'll do that instead of oatmeal for that meal. Toast would digest faster than the oatmeal because I have boxing at 6 and I don't wanna eat too much before. Too much slow carbs at least

**Peaked_18** · 06-11-2006, 06:34 PM

Alright that good, personally for a bulk, I would go higher carb and fats, and gradually increase protein. I don't know how well you'll survive the same meal again and again.

**DJSTARER** · 06-11-2006, 06:36 PM

looks fine... maybe low on the kcals, but only you can really know that.

agreed. that is a pretty stereotypical diet. I'd loose my head. Even cutting I try to mix things up.

foods like sweet potato, steak, pastas, cinimon raisin bread, and fruit are more than reasonable to change things up a bit and still have good results.

I don't wanna increase the calories too much. I might do that after I gain some weight.

Put what if it's not enough? I hope you know to eat more to gain more.

Yeh, I'm gonna eat what I posted above and see how much I gain. If I don't gain anything after a week, I'll add another 300-500 calories.

**Peaked_18** · 06-11-2006, 11:31 PM

Alright.

I would take the olive oil out of breakfast and add it to meals 4 and 6. Your already getting 20 grams of fat from the egg yolks so spread the rest around. I personally add fat to every meal except directly post-wo for insulin control.

normally I'd agree, but his diet is very moderate in carbs and high in fats as his source of energy....

but at the same time... i feel carbs should be concentrated in the morning and around the workout. So scratch what I just said above. I agree
