Until now i have never had a diet because I didnt realize how necessary it is to bulking up. I have read a few posts on this site about what i should be eating and I have developed a preliminary diet that I wanted to have evaluated by all of the people who actually know what they are doing, unlike myself. I used Dr. X's post to figure my BMR and my aproximate calorie intake for a day is 2157 calories, I have added 500 calories to this because my main goal is to gain weight. So my calorie intake is going to be aprox. 2657 a day. My plan for a diet is as follows:
Wake up
Preworkout Suplement (must be taken on an empty stomach. )
Workout
Meal 1: Post workout protein shake containing 44g of protein and is made with whole milk
Meal 2: Chicken or steak stir fry made with white rice, broccoli, carrots, and 2 eggs (will be eaten immediatly after drinking my protein shake)
Meal 3: some type of pasta with a tomato, cream, or cheese sauce
Meal 4: Another protein shake prepared the same as listed above
Meal 5: A protein meat meal possibly with a pasta ( i'm a college student so this could be some type of _____ helper)
Would that be ok to eat?
Meal 6: A protein snack of peanut butter mixed with honey and/or possibly a protein bar
Meal 7: Another protein shake prepared the same as listed about
Bedtime....
This is just a preliminary diet and i would like add another meal into the mix but i ran out of ideas. Please help me tweak and perfect my diet so that it will actually be succesful. Thank you
