What do you think of my diet huh? Ppl with good diet knowledge please chime in!
24 Years Old.
5'11
192lb
15% BF
Training for 4 years now and my 1st cycle will be at the start of next year. I really want to get my diet down to a T before I start.I KNOW THERE ARE AREAS THAT CAN BE FIXED/TWEAKED in my diet but would like your opinions as well please, sometimes it's good to get a fresh pair of eyes to take a look at something you might be missing.
OK, so my goal is to 'Bulk' as everyone so commonly phrases it! My BF is sitting at 15% and I don't want it any higher before I start cycling. (I don't want it dramatically lower either, I am not willing to lose some muscle for some fat loss. This will be my concern once I am over the 210-225lb mark while sitting at or close to 15%BF).
So a day of eating for me revolves a lot around work..
6:05 Wake Up.
6:15am Bowl of Muesli, 4 Egg Whites, 1/2 Litre of Skim Milk.
Work Start 7:00am.
8:30am Protein Shake, Walnuts.
10:30am Tuna, Cashews, Apple.
1:00pm (Lunch Time) Brown Rice OR Potatoes OR Pasta with Tuna OR Chicken OR Salmon.
2:55 Banana, Whey, Oats
Work Finish 3:00pm.
Train 3:30pm-5:00pm.
5:00pm Whey Protein Isolate, Dextrose.
6:00pm Beef, Brown Rice.
9:00pm Turkey, Almonds.
10:15-10:45pm Sleep time.
All this comes to a minimum of:
331g Protein
357g Carbohydrates
65g Fats
Total Calories = 3337 (This is the absolute minimum, It rises by another 100 cals or so on certain days)
Please note: I DO NOT count the calories from protein contained inside of a mainly carbohydrate source etc.
Eg - I don't count the protein inside my serving of Pasta or the fats contained within red meat etc etc.
So total Calorie intake would be sitting somewhere at the 3337-3500 mark.
Fruit consumption is low and no vegetables currently being consumed.
4 Litres of Water per day.
Cardio 3x per week at 20 min per session, low-moderate intensity.Current training style is in the form of non linear periodization.
3 days a week concentrating on heavy weights low reps(5-6). 3 days concentrating on Moderate Weight with high reps (10-12).
Thoughts, Ideas, Opinions on food, macro nutrient break down, timing of Carb/Protein/ Fat intake and anything else you can think of ALL appreciated.
Cheers.

I think it looks pretty solid for a guy with your stats
You could add a shake with a pre workout before u workout bc a banana is a waste for your bf just warm up 10-15 min before u lift on a treadmill if your not eating any veggies take fiber supps I hate veggies to trust me what carbs are you eating with ur shake in the morning?
The Carbs are in the mass gainer, I don't add anything to it.. i use to blend oats into it. I can't eat anything big at that time bc of work.
well for me if I don't eat 5,00 calories on a bulk cycle I don't gain any weight. I don't like just a banana before workout if you could 1 cup oatmeal with table spoon peanut butter then bannan in the car on way to the gym I also (hate) but eat cottage cheese right before bed for the casein in it
I would love to have more for pre workout but it's hard with work and all, I could probably smash something else down in the car on the way to the gym. Cottage cheese before bed is great.. thanks for your input.
Wish I could give you more info but this looks damn near perfect man. Very very nice!
Cheers, always room for improvement.
