Bulking time, what to eat?

[enahs]

Im getting read to start bulking and ive got the idea what to eat (damn near everything) but i work lots of hours. Probably the same as many of you. Basicly i wanted to see what is the best way to keep up the calories, protein. And keep the fat way down. What do you all eat in a basic day?

[JACKAL]

eggs and oatmeal, tuna and brown rice, supplement with protein MRPs, chicken breast for dinner with some brocholi. actually fat can be beneficial when bulking. get some flax oil and maybe put some natty peanut butter in your shakes.

What do you weigh now? Your height and bodyfat % would help out a loyt if you want good advice.

Im 5' 8", 187 lbs, body fat is around 10-15% not too sure. Any fats don not sit too well with me. I lost 40 lbs two years ago due to diet and cardio. I have pretty much stayed around 185 lbs for the last 2 years.

A good clean bulking diet for men

I stole this from pumpseeker, who stole it from somewhere else, but I think it's a good starting point for a bulk...

Meal 1:7:30am
10 egg whites w/ 1 yolk scrambled w/ fat free cheese mixed in
1 scoop prolab whey isolate w/ 5 g. glutamine (your favorite protein will do)
1 cup oatmeal w/ 1 banana
1 slice rye bread
2 slices turkey bacon
water

Meal 2: 10am
1 Lean Mass Matrix Shake
2 slices rye bread

Meal 3: 1pm
2 chicken breasts
2 Yams
1 cup broccoli
1 Tablespoon nat. PB
water

Meal 4: 3:30pm
Same as Meal 2

Meal 5: 6:30pm
Post Workout Shake (Nlarge2 w/ 10 g. glutamine)

Meal 6: 7:30pm
2 chicken breasts
1 cup brown rice
1 cup lima beans
1 Tablespoon nat. PB
maybe a little low sugar/non fat chocolate ice cream (got to have the sweets when I'm bulking!)
water

Meal 7: 10pm
2 scoops prolab whey isolate protein w/ 5 g. glutamine
1 slice rye bread

Sip water all day long and take a multivitamin/mineral. This diet gives about 450 grams protein, 500 grams carbs, and 60 grams fat....roughly 4,500 calories.

trust me, eating natural peanut and using flax oil is not going to put fat back on you. they can be helpful if supplemented properly.

All I have to say is bulking phase is the most expensive. My 2 cents.
