[Luski16]

ok i started my bulk at 80 lbs and have been bulking at 2000 calories. Well i think that i am going to need to up my calories soon so here is what i have prepared for when the time comes:

Meal 1:
1/2 cup oatmeal
6 eggwhites
5 Flaxseed Oil softgels

Meal 1 totals: 380 calories/35 protein/27 carb/8 fat

Meal 2:
6-8 ounces chicken breast
1/4 cup brown rice
1 cup broccoli
5 Flaxseed Oil softgels

Meal 2 totals: 365 calories/37 protein/35 carb/7.5 fat

Meal 3: (Pre-Work)
1 cup oatmeal
1 scoop ON whey
8 ounces skim milk

Meal 3 totals: 500 calories/42 protein/70 carb/7 fat

Meal 4: (Post-Work)
1 scoop ON whey
1 scoop gatorade powder
1 banana

Meal 4 totals: 290 calories/24 protein/47 carb/1 fat

Meal 5:
6-8 ounces chicken breast
1/2 cup brown rice
1 cup broccoli

Meal 5 totals: 465 calories/40 protein/67 carb/3.5 fat

Meal 6:
1 cup cottage cheese
2 tbsp natural peanut butter

Meal 6 totals: 370 calories/32 protein/18 carb/16 fat

Totals: 2370 calories/210 protein/264 carb/43 fat

Do you guys think this is pretty good? Any suggestions to make it better are appreciated. Also should i replace the banana post-workout for maybe a couple tbsp of honey instead, or should i keep the banana? Or should i just get rid of the banana all together and not add anything? I can't decide.

Looks solid. I'd get rid of the banana post workout and replace it with some dextrose if I were you. If you can't find dextrose powder then I'd reccomend either gatorade powder or grape juice (make sure it's not the concentrate version).

Other than that, it looks perfect. Very clean.

Looks like a well designed meal plan to me

If you're not gaining on this remember to incread your kcals - perhaps by introducing another meal into your plan.

Sorry, must have overlooked that. I'm a bit tired.

Yeah, I'd say ditch the banana. Immediately after a workout, you only want fast absorbing liquid carbs.
