My diet, your thoughts..

[Dylan3456]

Alright guys being new to the forums, I am asking a lot of question to make sure my diet and training are all on point.

I am 16 years old, currently bulking from 150 and at about 8% body fat I believe maybe more now.

Here is my daily diet:

Meal 1.

Oatmeal with protein powder and 2tbps of natural PB and a banana(pre workout meal)


Meal 2.

Shake consisting of almond milk, oats, peanut butter, protein, creatine, mixed fruit, and a banana.


Meal 3.

Brown or white rice with either talapia/salmon/chicken and healthy fats plus veggies like spinach/broc****/peppers..



Meal 4.

Dinner consist of another protein such as maybe more chicken/steak/fish(whatever im in the mood for) more veggies and healthy fats


Meal 5.

1 cup of cottage cheese with almonds and if needed, finish off calories with a type of carb, sometimes wheat bread or a bagel with jelly.


Calories: Usually try to aim for around 3500
Protein:131
Carbs:438
Fats:136

I usually overshoot my protein intake by about 30gs most of the time which is expect with all the protein each meal, is that a bad thing? I would just like to here your thoughts about my diet..I believe I am slowly gaining so that's what matters. But mostly wanting to know if this is a good bulking diet to stick with during my bulking phases.. and how fast should I be looking to gain good weight and not too much fat? Thanks fellas!

If your eating more calories than your burning then it's a good bulking diet, let the mirror be your judge to determine how much extra fat gain you can tolerate. Posting in the nutrition section will get you better feedback.

Looks okay.

If you are gaining weight (slowly), and progressing in the gym - you're good.

Try the Nutrition Section - https://forum.bodybuilding.com/forumdisplay.php?f=13

A moderator might move it for you, but if you see that the thread is locked, etc try the correct forum.

Sidenote: You've actually got your macros figured out, so you are well ahead of the game. If you aren't gaining weight, then increase your calories. Protein number looks a bit low...131g of protein?

Nice post...!!

Yeah, I've just adjusted it. Going for 1g per pound of body weight, one last question. Should I track my calories for best results or just eat, look at the scale and see if I'm growing and if not eat more??
