1st I would swap the fry for breakfast with some porridge, a few boiled eggs and some wholegrain toast throw in a glass or 2 of OJ.

If I were you I'd try and concentrate on making this more of a clean bulk, areas of concern highlighted in bold.

i'd agree, and there's a **** ton of bread in that plan aswell....

rccaulfield

Yea its gonna be a 50/50 fat and muscle bulk-oldschool! Clean it up! No fry, wholewheat pasta, less bread maybe brown rice in there sumwhere instead-dont overdo the peanut butter etc!

Whats your cal intake at the moment.

Whats your approx body fat % (be honest).

Are you 'bulking' because its easier for big lads to 'bulk' than to diet and lose the lard? (don't take offence, I'm in this catagory and it took years for me to admit it).

I’m estimating my call intake to be 4000-4200

Body fat is around 12%

I’ve got a fast metabolism and can honestly say that I find it easier to lose the weight than put it on.

In the first 6weeks of my bulk I gained 7pounds, around 5.5-6 of muscle (mainly in my legs and back which before I hadn’t really worked on).
In the last 3weeks Ive gained very little, 1-2pounds maybe.

Great and thanks for the honest answer.

I won't go into your diet, as this changes daily and people differ on ratio's (ie carb/protein/fat) based on personal experience and other's just cut & paste and regurgitate crap they've read and have no experience of.

My only advice on bulking for you is to start slowly, the biggest mistake people make is believing they can go from a maintance intake of (for example) 2500cals per day to over twice that the next day - its impossible for more than a few days.

You have to plan your increase in cal intake like you'd plan any other part of your training and progressively increase your cal intake over a period of at least 10 days (based on my own experience) but obviously depending on how you feel this can be increased for decreased.

But I've found that increasing my cal intake quicker than that has made me feel sick and stuffy.

very true,but i wouldnt say it would me sick & stuffy,but if you jump from 2500 to say 4500 alot of that will go to fat,as said above you need to do it over time in your bulk,
op there alot of fatty stuff in your diet when it comes to cut you could find you lose alot of your target weight,ud be much better with a cleaner bulk imo
