Weight Gain Diet

[adam131313]

Currently sitting on 168 lbs, trying to bulk up to 182 lbs by 1/8/13.

Would getting around 150 grams of protein and 300 grams of carbs daily be sufficient to do this?

Usually consists of:
eggs/tuna/chicken
pasta/rice/potatoes
Reflex instant mass

Doing a three times a week version of WS4SB as well

thanks

Set caloric intake to 110% to 120% of TDEE.

Ensure sufficient fat and protein intake as well as micronutrient sufficiency. Compose your remaning calories from whatever mix of macronutrients you prefer.

Obviously, if your diet is composed from the foods you list, it would be acutely deficient and very unhealthy, but perhaps you don't care about health or outcome but for weight gain.

Why would it be unhealthy?

Why would it be unhealthy?

Too much tuna, likely (acutely) deficient dietary fat, acute micronutrient deficiencies, reliance on processed fast food (Reflex Instant Mass) for a large amount of calories.

Not much dietary fat...no fruits or veggies

I ment my main meals usually consist of the above. Have vegatables every dinner and usually a banana and a apple every day. A couple times a week ill usually have peanut butter on toast before bed as well

I have tuna probably about 3 times a week, how is that too much? Il also only have two protein shakes a day. From what I see on here that seems to be the norm

Everyone outside of America puts the month second so that wont be neccessary

Consuming more than 6 to 12 ounces of tuna per week is known to pose health risks.

Consuming two meals of processed fast food (protein shakes) per day is not bad in and by itself, but it looks like your entire diet, including those shakes, is acutely deficient and thus those shakes can be displacing proper, nutrient dense foods.
