How’s my diet looking for bulking? Currently trying to do 0.5lbs a week
Current stats: 17 years old Male 5’8” 126 lbs BF: 14-15% Current lifts: Bench: 160lbs Squat: 230lbs Deadlift: 275lbs Power clean: 145lbs
Diet: (I basically have the same thing everyday) Breakfast: 2 eggs, 3 egg white omelette 2/3 cup of oatmeal Small fruit
Lunch: 4oz chicken breast 150g of lettuce w/ red cabbage/red onions 120g of carrots Low fat cheese stick 150g of potatoes (usually sweet but sometimes white or red)
Dinner: 4oz chicken breast 150g of lettuce w/ red cabbage/red onions 140g of brown rice 65g of beans ( I add this on as Aldi’s brand of rice is lower calorie for some reason)
Snacks: 30g pistachios 30g almonds 3 whey protein shakes ( I use either Cytosport’s 100% whey or Muscle Pharm Combat Protein Powder) 28g of plain Cheerios 405g or 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt
Macro split: (rough estimate) 250 grams of Protein 230 grams of carbs 75 grams of fat Calories: 2,600
Finally note: I realize that it’s a lot of protein and I’m probably gonna get a lot of criticism for it but so far on this diet I’ve made pretty decent gains w/o too much fat gain. Hoping that this gets me 0.5lbs a week, last week it got me 0.8lbs a week so I’m gonna give it another week and if it continues then I’ll prolly drop by 100 calories
Any advice or tips to improve this??
