Critique My Diet

[0403555555]

Hey there,

Newbie here,

Looking to go from skinny kid to Zyzz like proportions

Im currently 178cm (5' 10") at 78kgs (lean mass about 72kgs) currently with some extra fat around waist, not an issue.

Currently a UNI student and working part time in a shopping centre, so majority of my time is seated.
The only cardio/ exercise I do besides walking is working out 3-4 times a week, therefore my BMR is multiplied by 1.55.

BMR: 2852 Calories /day
Body fat ~16%

This is an example of a typical NON WORKOUT diet day for me (there may be instance where I eat dinner that is also prepared for me, eg, a chicken or pasta dish):

My bulking diet:

Meal 1: Oats, REV Milk, Apple Juice
PRO CARBS FAT CALORIES
30 110 15 770

Meal 2: Ski Yoghurt
PRO CARBS FAT CALORIES
10 30 2 180

Meal 3: Rice + Chicken
PRO CARBS FAT CALORIES
105 50 55 1000

Meal 4: Rice + Chicken
PRO CARBS FAT CALORIES
105 50 55 1000

Meal 5: Protein Shake
PRO CARBS FAT CALORIES
45 8 5 270


Due to budget constraints my chicken isn't chicken breast but skin off Chicken Supreme, which is top part of the leg. (2kgs $10...Very cheap!)


END OF DAY TOTALS::

PRO CARBS FAT CALORIES
295 248 132 3220


Any advice or recommendations is appreciated.

Thanks

At a quick glance I can tell you that there's no way you need 292 grams of protein at your weight. Feel free to scratch that last protein shake or some chicken and allocate those calories elsewhere if you so desire.

Thanks man, I thought eating a 1kg of chicken a day would be an extreme way of getting bigger, but your right, pretty excessive =P

Lose the protein shakes and eat more real food. GL on your looking like Zyzz goals.

Need fruits and veggies.

Decrease protein by 80-100g and increase CHO accordingly.

Just a quick question...If I already have excess weight around my waist, is increasing carbs beneficial to muscle gain aswell? Or will it simply add to my waist?
