Bulking diet

[joelyoung94]

Hi
I've been training for about 10 weeks now. I do a 3 day split: legs/shoulder, back/bi, chest/tri. I am considering changing this to a five day plan.
Anyways when I started I was 148lbs now I'm 160lbs. My body fat has crept up reasonably up by about 2%.
I dont feel I've made massive muscle gains. At this stage should I be worried?
Will the 5 days of working out help reduce the fat gain.

I currently eat about 100g of protein a day.
Breakfast 8am: 100g of carb and 30g of protein
Lunch 12pm: about 90g of carb and 30g of protein
Gainer 3/4pm: 125g of carb and 25 G protein
Gym at 5.15 on a gym day and then 30g protein after
Dinner 6-8pm: varies each day 20+g of protein and atleast 50g of carbs.

I'm not particularly strict on my diet as I'm just starting out. But should I be changing anything to help reduce fat gain?
Any advice will be really appreciated
Joel

You should calculate your TDEE and macros to avoid excess fat gain.

You should get on a better routine.

For some people, being sort of 'loose' with their diet is fine, but if you aren't seeing the results you want you should put a bit more effort into it. Calculate your TDEE like AlwaysTryin said, and bump up your calories just slightly... like 300-500 calories over per day, max.

Get on a better routine and focus on the big moves; squat, bench, deadlift, etc. to get the most bang for your buck. Try doing a 5 day body part split with 2 days of rest each week and see how that works for you. Also, if you are concerned about gaining strength, you need to be lifting for strength; low reps, high weight.

Then (and this is the key part) be ****ing patient. Bulking takes TIME... like, years.
