Diet looks clean and good. The only thing I would recommend is Casein protein before bed for a slower digesting protein to get you through the night. This is usually what I like to do so I don't wake up starving. If your trying to get in extra cals as well use milk instead of water to mix in your protein shakes. It will get you extra protein, simple carbs, fats (if you use anything other than skim), and extra calories.

i'd scrap the protein shakes before bed and eat some cottage cheese.

Aye and with some blueberries.

[Problem]

The diet looks great.

1- add more protein to your breakfast, like 1 scoop of whey.
2- i'd use other than fruits to restore gylcogen after workouts like oats or waxymaize or dextrose or maltdoxtrin
3- add milk instead of water at night before bed, 1.5 cup of milk and 1 scoop of protein works great.

dont ever add maltodextrin. use whole foods like fruits

[dedlifter1]

How many cals is that? seems a little light, imho, for a bulk any way. I add in pb with whole grain bread, etc. I shoot for 4000 cal or more when bulking, as clean as possible, but im no saint when it comes to diet on a bulk.meat, meat meat.

WHY !!

actually fruits and that been debated before does not restore body gylcogen as fast!

i dont understand how you can keep tight bulking. If my waist was down more.... then id be... dang! lol even cardio 3 days a week, plus abs

imo, there is no such thing as a lean bulk. (natty anyway). For me you bulk or you dont.

[SDis623]

great point. i dont think there is such thing either. Either way when my cals up the waist likes to join too no matter how clean and consistant i am.

without a doubt. If you know your body, and what it takes and how long it takes to cut, then bulk away without fear of some fat. I am still on my way up from 188. am 214 now. Before i cut to 188 i was 215.

I'm not arguing that fruits are the BEST carbs for post workout. But they are a natural sugar and whole food...therefore contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Maltodextrin is a man mad substance thats WAY higher than standard white refined sugar on the GI. If he's at all concerned with how much BF he will put on bulking, then he can do better than maltodextrin.

carpee i see what you are saying... where do you find malto high in... what products?

malto will mostly be in supplemented weight gainers/protein products.
ABB drinks like Mass XXL and other kinds have it. I just read labels and watch out for it.

Bottom line is, noone but pros have 100% perfected diets.
I tend to try to stay away from man made sweeteners, and stick to whole foods as much as possible. I mean fruits and vegetables were created for a reason...why use these crazy chemical sweeteners that we don't even derive calories from, but still spike insulin.
