    Critique my bulking diet

    First, some stats:

    - 15 years old
    - Bulking
    - 5'10"
    - 125lbs

    I have attempted to base my diet on diets I have seen Luski16 post, due to our similar caloric requirements. I used FitDay to help determine all the numbers, but some of them I may have picked the wrong food item. Without further adieu, my diet:

    Meal 1 (07:30)
    - 1.5 cup oats (oatmeal)
    - 1 cup milk
    - 3 1000mg fish oil capsules

    Meal 2 (11:00)
    - 100g chicken
    - 1 cup carrots
    - 1 cup brown rice
    - 1 teaspoon flax oil

    Meal 3 (14:00) (Pre-Workout)
    - 1 scoop whey
    - 3/4 cup oats (oatmeal)
    - 1 cup milk

    Meal 4 (17:00?) (Post-Workout)
    - 1 scoop whey
    - 3/4 cup oats (oatmeal)
    - 1 banana
    - 1 cup milk

    Meal 5 (19:00)
    - 100g chicken
    - 1 cup carrots

    Meal 6 (22:00)
    - 1 cup cottage cheese

    I then go to sleep at 23:00.

    Totals
    Calories: 2846
    Fat: 79
    Carbs: 372
    Proteins: 168

    Any items that had ingredients on them we're entered into FitDay as a custom item to increase accuracy. Due to that, several things will hopefully change soon, which may affect the totals. My family has always used 2% milk, so we do not have any skim milk. I hope to change that within a week, which will lower my fat and calories and allow me to raise my protein.

    Secondly, I couldn't find a big bag of just brown rice at Wal-Mart here, so I am currently using Kraft Instant Brown Rice. There is only one ingredient (pre-cooked rice), but I imagine it will also change.

    The only whey I have for now is from GNC because my brother bought it a few months back. I imagine once I buy some whey from the internet, it will be better.

    Sorry if this post was too long. Thanks a lot for any help; it is much appreciated.

    On a personal note, I think that you should have a bit less carbs and a bit more protein, maybe 350 carbs, 250 protein? Since you will be hopefully lifting heavy, your body will need that extra protein. Best of luck with your bulk.

    Thanks a lot. I just looked on FitDay and realized I had 2 instances of 2% milk (both with 3 cups). I have fixed my totals.

    You might wanna add 1 or 2 more meals to your day seeing that some of you meals a 4 hours away from each other, you should try to keep them within 2 to 3 hours, 3 hours being the most.

    I have added flaxseed oil and a few fish oil capsules.

    (This post mostly serves as a bump.)
