The macronutrient breakdown looks fine, so if total caloric intake is 110% to 120% of maintenance, then you're in good shape.

[AdamWW]

nice to see a whole food-dominant diet, too.

Thanks guys. So is another 2 tbsp of peanut butter for meal 4 around 9pm fine or would you suggest I eat something else at that time instead?

Casien would be the easy answer

Whole Eggs, Good Job, now switch the 1% to whole milk and you will be on the right track...

Damn man you eat nearly 1000kcal an hour before your workout? Impressive, I'd feel sick and bloated to hell!

But hey if you can stomach it then why change it. Your diet plan looks good btw.

Maybe the "easy" answer, but not necessarily the "correct" answer.

I find your bulking diet very great and complete. You may add a casein shake with your last meal consisting of peanut butter and you will do great.

How do you cook your beans?

[ELugo]

haha! Yea, I really can't stomach the whole milk myself. I prefer the 2% or the non-fat variety. No need for the casein shake either ...I can't STAND casein shakes! Pure crap if you ask me. I usually end my night with a PB & J and a glass of milk ...deelish!

Currently bulking too at around 3200 calories.

Just had a massive breakfast:

1/2 cup oats + 1/2 cup wheat bran + 1/2 cup raspberries + 1 banana + 1 cup milk = oatmeal

10 egg whites with veggies
3 whole eggs sunny side up
1 tsp coconut oil

1040 Calories. 68gm protein, 39gm fat, 115gm carbs (includes 24gm fiber!)
