Chicken && Milk
 
My diet lately has been pretty heavy, I am pretty skinny right now trying to Lean bulk. I take in about 4 skinless boneless chicken breast each day. I also drink about 3 cups of fat free milk with that. I know that it is tons of protein

Chicken 27g protien each
Milk is 9g a cup.

I also take in a Turkey sandwich and PB Sandwich each day with milk

This is a pretty good bulk diet right?
What should i add/subtract?

slayer of souls 09-08-2008 06:35 PM

Carbs and fat?

Pitysister 09-08-2008 06:50 PM

and lots of vegetables.

Cradler 09-08-2008 07:10 PM

man i don't know your stats but the hell that is enough protein for a dude who is lifting.

27 x 4 = 108, +27 = 135g. protein.

throw in a sandwich and some peanut butter, plus maybe some more milk, and what you get is:

1) how are you not starving honest to god
2) that is maybe enough protein to do nothing
3) your macronutrient ratios are all out of wack.

read the stickies on how to bulk and just on nutrition on general... there is a lot of very elemental stuff that you are missing here.

A) Milk is good, but don't depend on it for a protein source. You're trying to utilize it too much. 1-2 glasses a day, fine. Trying to use it with every meal, not the best.

B) Carbohydrates are your friend. Sure, you're getting some from the milk, but that's not the best primary carb source. Neither is the bread with your sandwiches. But at the same rate, don't think that carbs are a 'free' thing.

C) Try to take in mostly unprocessed, whole foods.

D) Most likely, you need to up your cals.

E) Man up and eat some veggies too.

F) Vitamins? EFA's?

And btw, what's your weight? What are your calorie and macros levels per day? If you know, that is... which if you don't, you need to learn to do that.

Not really.

And quite honestly, you've got to learn what good foods are.

Chicken is good. Peanut butter (natural) is good (not as a sandwich, though). The milk is good in smaller amounts.

Like I said before, stop trying to depend on milk for a protein and carb source.

Read the 'what a bodybuilder eats' sticky. And just in case you're not getting it...
READ THE 'WHAT A BODYBUILDER EATS' STICKY!!!

You've got to learn some basics with nutrition.

Probably at first. But keep in mind, I weigh right around 230. That said, your requiements are going to be slightly lower. All the info given so far has been spot on. But remember, you have to eat to grow. And as you grow you have to continue to increase your intake to keep what you've gained. If it seems like a balancing act, it is. And it's something that requires your full attention. Study it bro... make it your bitch. It's the sport you chose and I think that everyone here would agree, it's the best.

I don't believe he said anywhere in here that he was an Orthodox Jew.

That's the lamest spam message I've ever seen.

I think the idea was to display the sig..which I deleted :D

the kid just needs to lay out a diet plan and stick too it.
buy some bags of brown or wild rice, beans get lots of beans, they are good carbs and protein, easy calories.
also buy some almonds as they are easier to snack on on the go, and are easy calories.
veggies- greens, anything, sweet potatoes new potatoes
protein-eggs eggs eggs, fish lean beef and chicken which you already have
