When it comes to mass gaining im all about basics. Red meat, whole eggs, chicken thighs, milk, pasta, rice, bananas and some greenage to keep you going. Choosing proteins with higher fat content is an easy way to get those cals in.

:doh: You don't need to 'get those calories in' to bulk! Never meet anyone who made quality muscle gains by eating fat. Meet loads of people who got fat from it though.

Diet looks solid mike, you've done your homework

[mike27]

thanks

i struggled thru today. wasnt feeling very hungry at all but stuffed it down anyways

You're referring to eating a lot of high calorie foods, not strictly dietary fat, right?

Agree with SG though, Looks like a decent diet. No real need to cut out carbs entirely before bed though, if you want them eat them.

[PeterDolan]

Without knowing how much you weigh, your body fat etc I'd say it looks good

[soundsgood]

Yeah Phedder, of course dietary fats play a huge role in your duet and you should include them, but eating a whole bucket of nuts everyday gonna make u fat :nod:

Let's not have the whole 'a calorie is a calorie' debate again :shifty:

[Phedder]

All good, just checking mate. Would have been shocked if you got to your level on the whole 'fat makes you fat' bandwagon :roll:

f*ck calipers, If you look fat, you need to bring it down, if you don't look fat you're fine

:nod:

If you lost sight of your abs in 2 weeks you are putting on fat!

Bit more cardio maybe?

[mike27]

yeah sunday is cardio day

ill increase it

[Grover]

yeah sunday is cardio day

ill increase it

Do you have a rest day?

cardio 2 or 3 times aweek should get you back into shape, easier to catch at this stage than once you have packed on inches!

[mike27]
