Bulking Diet Specifics

[Tao walker 2005]

Hi guys, I have read alot of the information in this section of the boards but I am still stuck with the exact specifics of my diet. I am 6'4 and about 88kg (190lbs or so). I want to bulk up over the next year and see if I can hit 100kg (220lbs). Would the following diet be enough, and if not, where and how can I add in calories.

Morning (during training): - shake with BCAA, 2 raw eggs and a tbsp of peanut butter/some honey

Breakfast: - Millet porridge (a good palm full uncooked - it expands when cooked - I would eat oats but I get stomach pain - allergic reaction or some ****) with pepitas, walnuts and goji berries

2nd Breakfast: - 2 poached eggs on rye toast w/ ham

Lunch: - 2 Tuna sandwiches with tomato, avocado, cucumber & lettuce

Afternoon:- stonefruit

Dinner: - 500gs of mince with spaghetti or
Lamb Chops with 3 veg or
sausages and rice

Before bed : - Redback complete protein shake.


so yeah, I'm pretty skinny but I've recently put on a few kg's..
I really want to become fit, strong and muscular
if u can please post advice - much appreciate

1. Make a log.
2.Post your weight training routine.
3.Follow the diet effort posted, although you may need more because you are
6ft 4" and 190. In this case more beef and eggs.

The diet you posted will not get you where you want to be anytime soon. As long as your genetics are alright 30 pounds (as long as it is your first year, or your first year doing things right) is a reasonable goal, if things are done correctly.

Make that log.

It seems the important thing for me is to eat much more than a normal diet, but I have to be able to eat cheaply as well (the financial restraints of studenthood). I also only have access to the bench press and barbell downstairs, and the dips and chinup bars in the back yard.
Your comment Epsi about my health consciousness is a valid point, tho I add that bulking alone isn't my only goal: I would like to gain agility, virility and vitality from my diet and training regime as well.

Apart from the current festive disruption to my training schedule, I aim to train 3 days per week, using a 2-day split to stretch the cycle over a fortnight.
So on Monday and Friday I do dips, bench, incline bench and upright row (5x5 each). On wednesday I will do Chin-ups, deadlifts, squats and barbell rows (5x5 as well). The next week the days are reversed so there is at leat 4 days recovery time for each muscle group.

are you cooking for yourself or relying on cafeteria food?

eggs & whey concentrate are the cheapest protein around, generally. you could stand to add significantly more eggs.
