Hey everyone
I am trying to put on some mass, as much lean as possible without adding too much additional fat. I feel like I am having trouble gaining though. I just do weight training right now and no cardio. By job is pretty sedentary for the most part too.
I know I need to add calories for mass but I feel like even when I do it isn't working.
Can someone critique my diet for me and see if there can be any improvements or suggestions?
Wake up
20g protein (egg whites from carton)
Coffee
Sometimes 1 tbsp of coconut oil
Go to gym
Post workout
50 grams protein
2/3 cup of carbo gain
Mid morning
1/2 cup oats
1 banana
30g protein
1 tbsp natural peanut butter
Lunch
Usually 4-6 oz or protein
1 avocado
1 cup of vegetables
Sometimes 1 cup brown rice
Afternoon
1 oz almonds
20-50 grams protein
Dinner
4-6 oz protein
1 cup of vegetables
1 cup brown rice or other low GI carb
Evening
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 Apple
Right before bed
50 gram protein shake
~8-10 oz 1% milk
That is pretty consistent every day. I have recently been trying to add carbs to almost every one of those meals.
I can't go much higher on the quantities cause I am just not able to eat that food in the time i have for breaks.
I have trouble eating sweet potatoes cause of the taste. I know regular potatoes are higher GI carbs but is it okay to eat one everyday for lunch if I wanted to sub out the brown rice for one meal?
Thanks for your help!
