break-bagel and PB 400/14g/53g

lunch break- chicken and pasta 730/27g/36g


after work/before bed ramen and tuna 630/18g/27g

calories intake varies between 3500-4000 a day., sometimes i add little things, or cant finish the meal(rarely)

What's your stats?

No offense dude, but that diet is a little fubar'd.

Now, all these suggestions are time-dependent, if you can't do them, that's cool. Everybody has different schedules, but here is my take.

Meal 1:
-Include some whole proteins, complex carbohydrates, and EFAs.
-Possible choices:
whole eggs/whites
bagels/oats/flat breads
natural PB/flax

Meal 2/3
-Try to have a complete Pre-WO meal, and duplicate this Post-WO. I usually go with about 80g Carbs, 35g Isolate.

Meal 4
-I usually try to time this meal 30-60 minutes after my first Post-WO meal. I use once again whole proteins, and whole grains.

Meal 5/6
-Repeat something similar to meal 4, with added EFAs/veggies for vitamins, minerals, etc.,

Also, 3788 would not equal 167g Protein, and 280g of Carbs. Right now I am on 3727 with 377g Protein and 417g Carbs..

do you try to emphasize on CARb meal, or Protein meal, at at different times of the day(control insulin spikes/levels)?
i don't know **** about diet. I usually just count calories.
i guess lot more protein and carbs is what i need too

sorry, stats are 6 ft, 170lbs, bf around 7%.
been training on and off for about 6 years, but most intensly for 2 years

i used to be super athletic, ran a lot...but now i dont really care about being athletic. i want mass and strength.

I actually distribute my Protein/Carbs pretty equally. Each of my meals ends up having about 60g of Complex Carbohydrates; save for breakfast which contains about 90g. I then try to vary my protein intake depending on what meal/time of day it is. A mix of slower/fast proteins in the morning, quicker Isolates Pre/Post WO, and then caseins are egg album during the later meals.
