Default Please give advise on my bulking diet

In the past I have read up on diets but have only guessed as to how much calories and protein, carb etc I was consuming.

I have therefore purchased some nutritional scales and written a spreadsheet to help me calculate it accurately. I have attached the spreadsheet for anyone who would like to use it and feel free to ask me any questions. The food list can be changed according to what you eat.

I have attached a second spreadsheet 'Meals.zip' as it will not paste into this editor correctly and looks a mess. This shows two examples of two different days; a workout and non-workout day respectively.

I will also be eating things like Peanut butter, Pork Loin Chops, Fish; Cod, Trout, Salmon, Steaks all grilled with fat removed. And I take a cod liver oil tablet at the end of the night.

Thanks in advance

Is it really so farfetched to post the diet? I don't wanna go through WinRAR and all this other computer stuff to see a meal plan, just type it from there into here.

^^^^Yeah, for sure.

This seems a bit of overthinking to me.

dude..my gf got me fitday and i dont use it so dont waste your money on it..you eat random shit that they don't even have and it's a pain trying to waste your time doing it. i say just know what's right and what's wrong but don't get so caught up into the whole numbers crap because unless u want to compete u don't have to worry so much i'd say..just stay consistent in workouts, do like 5lbs more each week on every set, hit some cardio, some good core workouts and you'll be fine!

^^Uh... Fitday is free.

I use every day just about, and after punching in a few foods into 'custom foods' (my whey protein, for instance), it's been extremely useful to me. I'd still recommend it over a hazy guess. Also, the other advice you gave - especially about adding on 5lbs/week to every set - is really general, and since you don't know anything about this guy's workout regime, stats, or anything else (like goals), I don't know that you should be advocating the "grab bag" method of training.

^^^^Fitday is very useful and you can use it as indepth or loosely as you want it. And like Cradler said it ain't that much trouble plugging in some custom foods. You can estimate others and use the info they have when it's there. It's just a convenient way of keeping a food log and tracking your calories and macros. It doesn't have to be a big obsessive deal but this loosey goosey approach of just guessing you are doing the right thing...probably ain't gonna work so good for most.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

I post on Fitday, even if I'm thinking too far ahead in order to plan my meals. I'll use ingredients such as chicken, beef, ect, and try different combinations that still equal my daily allowances. Maybe I'll buy a few jumbo tubs of cottage cheese, so I'll have to input "x" cups of that, which will usually impact my fat totals.. So that means more egg whites, less whole eggs.. THAT is what fitday is for.

So I'll get a printout of about ten different combinations with the same daily totals. Usually I have 5 combos for training days, 5 non training days since it DOES matter and are very different from one another.

Finally, I'll plan WHEN (very important) each meal needs to happen. Shit, I'll even go so far to imput when I need what supplement.

Fitday is a very effective tool if you know how to use it.
