Proteins
You want to eat a variety of protein sources that are mostly slow digestion proteins like: tuna, turkey, chicken, egg whites, no fat cottage cheese, skim milk, & lean steaks. You'll want to supplement with Whey protein after a run or workout because it's faster to be absorbed. Throw in a high GI carb like 30g Dextrose to optimize your recovory time and muscle gains.

Carbs
Speaking of carbs, you want all low GI all the time with the exception to post training. Good sources of those are: Oatmeal, brown rice, yams, & sweet potatoes. These will give you an equal flow of energy that you need to train hard.

Fats
Finaly we have the fats. You actualy need some fat, but not just any kind. EFA's to be specific. Try to eliminat all the trans sat fats you can from your diet. Replace them with the good fats found in olives, fish, and especially flax seed.

As for weight gainer, ON makes a good one with complex carbs and not much sugar.

Exactly..... this is al you need to know about how to reach your calorie goal. You always want to eat clean whether bulking or dieting...... only difference is the amounts you should be eating. Don't think you can eat at McDonalds everyday just because your bulking. YEa you'll put on weight but a hell of a lot more fat than muscle. Keep it clean but give yourslef some room to cheat. As for a weight gainer.... make your pwn, cheaper nad better. All ya need is some 1 1/2 cup oats, 2 tablespoons of natty pb, 2-3 scoops of protein powder, and water or milk if your diet allows it. That's what I use and it's been working for years.

Nuts; peanuts, cashews, pistachios, almonds, any of them are great ways to get a lot of calories through out the day Eat 1c. throughout the day and you just added another 800-1000 more calories. Also, for optimum growth, make sure you eat a gainer shake IMMEDIATELY post work out. Take it with you in the car if you have to. You have got to rebuild your receptors after you just broke them down.

That happens to be specific to metabolism.. At 190lbs, if you're maintaining that weight, 3500cals might be low.. I diet on 3200, and cut at 2800 a day.. I weigh 202lbs right now, to maintain that, I have to eat 4500-4950 a day.. 3500 calories may help maintenance, but gaining you'll need more..

well i'm guessing he isnt at 2% bodyfat bigpete

[bigpetefox]

He's also bulking, 3500 ain't gonna do it.. ;)

[Rome]

bro you know damn well that will work just fine for him.

do the math real quick... 3500 is almost 19 cals per pound. yall BBers are nuts thinking you gotta get fat as shit just to gain anything.

[bigpetefox]

It's called eating clean.. I eat over 4500 a day, I'm 202lbs with visible abs.. If someone eats whatever, they deserve to be fat.. Some of us like to have it possible to not have too much fat to lose..
