    I need help with my diet

    I've lifted on and off for the past 10 yrs but have gotten serious about it in the past year.... I started a bulk in august and wasn't really watching what i was eating, but was eating like a horse! from august to december i went from 155 to 185 working out 5 days a week. i slacked off on the lifting over the holidays and when i started back i got a stress fracture in my forearm and strained my shoulder..... since then i've started watching what i eat and doing cardio to drop a little weight before i start back my bulk in april. 'm 5'8", 179, and 24.... my bmi is 26 and bmr is 1905... i don't know what my bf% is but am attaching pics to see if you could help me estimate ( i estimate about 18 or 20)


    my diet looks something like this fat/carb/pro/cals
    meal 1
    Instant grits (i've tried oatmeal and can't do it and i don't like eggs) 0/22/2/100

    meal 2
    sweet and salty almond bar 7/22/3/160

    meal 3
    california kitchen sicilian pizza 26/64/34/620

    meal 4
    apple w/ peanut butter 32.1/25.8/14.4/430

    meal 5
    chicken fajitas 36.33/124.57/59/1057

    and i drink nothing but water all day. when i start my bulk back i know i will have to increase my intake, but i was wondering what numbers should i be shooting for as far as how many g's of each should i try to consume? i will be adding protein and creatine (optimum nutrition whey and celltech hardcore). i appreciate your help in advance!

    Last spring i worked out everyday from 5:30 to 7 and cut out everything but water and "watched" what i ate but didn't keep up with it or anything and leaned out pretty well so i know its possible but love to know exactly what to eat for maximum results.... right now i'm doing 3 to 4 days of cardio with 2 sets of abs and very light lifting twice at most.

    Work out how many cals you need a day to bulk/maintain/cut than shoot for that with protein first than add carbs and fats. If you workout 5-6days a week, id shoot for carbs over fats.. but if you cutting, carbs pre and post than protein and fats later in the day, but I eat carbs whenever again its cals in vs cals out..
    - If you can't explain it simply, then you don't understand it well enough.
