I'm needing some tips or advice or anything on my diet here. I'm about to start bulking since the summer is pretty much over. Here is what my diet is looking like. I haven't run numbers yet. Might do that today.

Meal 1 - 5egg whites + 3 whole eggs
1cup oatmeal
1 scoop of optimum proteing
2tbsp of natural peanut butter
these ingredients are blended up and then cooked on the stove like a pancake. It makes about 3 good size pancakes.

Meal 2 - Tuna Sandwich
1can tuna
2 slices of wheat bread
2 slices of cheese
some pickles and mustard for taste
1/2cup brown rice
1cup Broccoli
1/2cup cottage cheese

Meal 3 - 2 pieces of steak, not sure what kinda cut. some help here would be good. I don't know about the good and bad cuts of beef. Preferably something that is affordable.
1 yam
1cup Broccoli
3-4 fig newtons or other flavors

Meal 4 - 1cup pasta
8-10oz of ground beef with tomato sauce
1cup broccoli
3-4 fig newtons or other flavors

Meal 5 - Pre-workout
Weight gainer shake
either homemade or cytogainer
homemade will be made with milk
2 scoops optimum protein
2tbsp peanut butter
a little honey
1/2cup of oatmeal

Meal 6 - Post-workout
2 scoops of Nectar protein
2cups of fresh fruit - stawberries, blueberries,
blackberries

Meal 7 - Not sure quite yet. I need a whole food meal though. Going to be something with some meat though. I might make a hamburger or something. Have some more veggies on the side and maybe some macaroni and cheese.

Meal 8 - 2 scoops of muscle milk
1 scoop of optimum whey protein
2tbsp of peanut butter

I may add cottage cheese to my 3 and 4 meals. Let me know what you think. I'm off to run the numbers now.

You must be one big MOFO - how much you weigh?

[bigrig44]

I'm not big enough yet. I'm 6'4" 230lbs right now. I got up to 255lbs last winter and then screwed myself on my diet. You live and you learn! I'm looking to gain some serious weight this winter. I'm starting a cycle soon as well.

I'm glad you're bulking 'cause if that was a cutting diet, I'd like a piece of that

For your PWO shake, I'd add some dextrose/maltodextrin in there and add some of the fruit to that if desired, though I'd hold off...but you are bulking
