Actually those macros come from the "ultimate guideline" so to speak:

1.5g x LBM = Protein
0.5 x LBM = Fat
Rest = Carbs

This guideline adds up to a ratio of P/C/F that is different depending...

Too many carbs before bed will blunt your GH. At best just get some fibrous carbs, they also make a nice dip for CC. :)

Oatmeal + Eggs + Fruit (optional)

empty calories = lovehandles

Either way, I would throw in some more fat.

Currently on bulk:

Meal 1: 50g Quaker Oats + 20g Organic Bran Sticks, 200ml Fat Free Milk, 1 Kiwi, 5 Egg Whites + 1 Yolk
