How Long Does It Take You To Get Used To Your Bulking Diet?

[Daniel_Kemp]

Hi.

How long does it take you to get used to your bulking diet?

I'm asking cause it took me ~2.5 hours to eat 3 cups of dry instant oats with some maple syrup for taste, cause I felt really full and/or sick trying to eat it all, AND that was my first meal of the day . . .

Oats Before


Oats After

Try eating something else. As long as daily protein intake is high enough and calories are setup correctly, it's OK.

[Holyspokes]

Idk just a shot in the dark but maybe because you've been starving yourself for 13 days?

[RC2008]

No time. And I eat more oats than that in 1 sitting.

If you can't handle oats, eat flapjacks instead.

[locknid]

umm don't eat it uncooked then, cook it like your supposed to. if that doesn't work eat some freakin grape nuts with some milk.

btw you remind me of napoleon dynamite

[Daniel_Kemp]

Why did it take that long?

Well I got about 1 cup of dry oats & syrup down fine, but then after that I felt really full and that if I ate anymore I was going to throw up. So I slowly ate the other 2 cups of dry oats & syrup.

Idk just a shot in the dark but maybe because you've been starving yourself for 13 days?

Ya maybe. So how long do you think it will be before I can eat the whole 3 cups of dry out & syrup easily?

Didn't it take you some time though before you could eat all those oats at once?

[wave_length]

Maybe you should give us your diet for the whole day.

[izzylicious]

haha lol.. dude u are lucky, i wish i could eat that, but i am cutting .. half~1 cup daily T.T and thats almost it for carbs..

[Holyspokes]

It probably won't take that long...

Are you eating 3 cups measured RAW oats? Because that's a good deal, around 900 calories worth. You might be meaning to eat 3 cups measured cooked?

Nope. But if you feel full after a certain amount of eating there's nothing you can do about it. The only way out is to eat something denser in calories with somewhat similar ingredients. Like flapjacks.

MEAL PLAN

[Workout First Thing in the Morning]

Meal 1
- 3 cups of oats
- 2 tablespoons of something to make the oats taste better (i.e. maple syrup, molasses, etc.)

Meal 2
- 8 oz of lean ground beef [I'll change what I add to the meat every day (i.e. different spices/vegetables).]
- 2 whole eggs

Meal 3
- 2 cups of oats
- 2 tablespoons of something to make the oats taste better (i.e. maple syrup, molasses, etc.)

Meal 4
- 8 oz of lean ground beef [I'll change what I add to the meat every day (i.e. different spices/vegetables).]
- 2 whole eggs
- A chocolate treat (i.e. some chocolate syrup, some of a chocolate bar, etc.)

Things to Snack on During the Day:
- 1 cup of almonds
- 1 cup of walnuts

[Holyspokes]

And you're not eating any protein after your workout?

[Daniel_Kemp]

No I'm going by dry oats right out of the bag. Then I add some syrup for taste to the 3 cups of dry oats, and then I add water.

[NCK MIZ]

Did you transition straight from a cut to a bulk?

That is not the most efficient way and will usually lead to unneccessary fat gain. Try slowly upping your calories, add 200 calories a week to transition back to maintenance and then slowly go up from there.

[NCK MIZ]

And you're not eating any protein after your workout?

Or anything before his workout

[RC2008]

That plan could be better, i.e. you should always ensure that you have a steady supply of carbs to fuel your workouts. Oatmeal before workouts with whole eggs and a handfull of almonds.

[Daniel_Kemp]

And you're not eating any protein after your workout?

I'm just doing carbs right now for my post-workout, and then later on I'll probably try a mix of carbs and protein post-workout.

No I did a cleanse.

OK I will try this later on and see if I notice a difference.

[WheyAddict]

I only eat oats cooked as oatmeal on a cut, not when I'm bulking since it blows up so much when you cook it. If you want to eat oats, just toast a whole tray of them in the oven with some honey as granola, and then eat it with milk. Also, 3 cup of oats for breakfast is kind of extreme, isn't it?

[Hengman]

It takes time and a lot of concentration.

I remember having a problem with oatmeal (I eat 2 really big bowls of oatmeal).

I just thought to myself, "I'll get this down. It's going to be easy."

[Dracoy]

5 Cups of Oatmeal in a day? Wow.

I only eat 1 cup per meal and that already is a lot. Just throw in protein powder and lots of peanut butter and you have a good meal...

[KJR246]

Damn. That's a lot of oats. Cooking it will definitely make it more edible, but you might want to consider mixing in some other types of carbs too. That much oats is going to cause some pain on the toilet.

You should probably eat protein postWO now. Why are you putting it off until later?

I'm already getting 30 grams of protein from the dry oats:

5g of protein per 1/2 cup of dry oats (that's what it says on the nutrition label on my bag of my oats)

Six 1/2 cups of dry oats (a.k.a. 3 cups of dry oats) x 5g of protein = 30g of protein

I would be very surprised if I found out this guy wasn't a troll. He posts some ridiculous fuc*ing threads.

x2 There are so many bulking threads, im surprised someone hasn't said "SEARCH BUTTON" yet.


ill say it...


SEARCH BUTTON.....


....use it

Are you really going to consider oats as your primary protein? I'm sure the quality of protein and it's BV isn't the greatest.

[Daniel_Kemp]

No. I'm also eating 1 lb of ground beef, 4 eggs, 1 cup of almonds and 1 cup of walnuts per day for other protein.

[Djin]

Mix your oats with 2 scoops of creatine from Muscletech and you'll get ****ing JACKED!!!!

/end joke

Seems like you're eating a lot, enjoy it. In time your stomach will stretch.

[Sushi]

at first bulking isn't easy! i usually start my diet on the weekend on my off days b/c generally all those extra calories make me want to sleep.

try eating other protien sources other than ground beef. Considering its just floor scraps and other inedible cow parts!!

[Djin]

Eat chicken. Enough enough to keep the farmers kids going through college.

It's 100% grass-fed organic beef and grinding that specific type of beef up is the most popular way for the butcher to sell it. He does have grass/grain-fed beef in a bunch of different cuts, but I just wanted 100% grass-fed and ground was my only option.

I'm also eating eggs, oats and nuts for other sources of protein.

I like beef more than chicken, but I am also eating eggs, which come from chickens.
