eh
im no diet expert... but how old are you? im going to assume in the teens?? either way if you are or arent... 5 days a week is overtraining... 3 days is fine if you plan it properly, 4 if u wana hit the legs twice a week

overtraining is the biggest mistake make sure you're not... as tempting as it is to hit the gym regularly you will find the longer you rest the better you will lift next time around

I would start my finding your maintainence level then increase that by 250 cal the first week then 250 the next you dont want to do it to fast or youll stagnate your metabolism.
Second you need to you every 2 to three hours religiously eat things like oatmeal whole wheat pasta and bread sweet potatoes. Try to get 40% of your diet from whole wheat carbs.

Make sure your protein is high as well around 1 g/ pound bodyweight. Def stay away from fried things. I eat a ton of grilled or baked chicken which is the leanest and best protein source also steak and tuna are good try to get around 40 or 50% protein.

Third dont neglect healthy fats. You need them to help with test levels and cardiovascular health. I would suggest a fish oil( Animal omega is great) Also Salmon is veryhigh in omega threes and six as well as olive oil and natty pb around 10 to 20% of your diet should come from healthy fats.
I know this is alot of info but hope it helps

5 days a week is not over training if you know what you are doing. Not everyone works out 2 muscle groups a day remember? :thumbsup:

More than likely not. I would say probably 6 or 7 including your shakes as meals. start out around 3000 cal if you find thats not enough or too much adjust accordingly. your probably really going to have to experiement with carb intake until you find your range. If you are getting too many carbs you will start to smooth out, if that happens just back off a little. Im bulking right now and my sweet spot seem to be 250g protein and 300-350g carbs but everyone is differnt. Start at around 250 and increase around 50g a week until you find what works for you.

As far as training goes 5 days is def not overtraining. Find what works for you but 1 bodypart a day 5 days a weak has worked wonders for me but everyone is different. Another important thing is not to neglect cardio. Many people do this whil bulking but 15 to 20 3x a week will keep you from putting excess fat as well as shuttle nutrient to your muscles. If you think about its only 45-to and hour a week.

That comes out to 270 grams of protein and about 3600 calories.
