New to bulking, need help with diet

Bulktohulk

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if I could get a little help with my diet. I'm currently 20 years old, 63kg and 13% body fat. I do a lot of fitness but I've decided to get into bodybuilding,and get a bit of meat on me. I've got a nice routine started and I'm working away at that but my diet leaves a lot to be desired. I don't eat unhealthaly but really at the moment I'm just trying to eat as much as I can without considering the proteins,carbs etc...

I'm going for a 'clean bulk' although I don't mind putting on a bit of fat, as that's to be expected. I'd just rather it was kept as low as possible, I don't want to be putting on any unnecessary fat. Anyway, I've copied a sample diet from a bodybuilding website and would love some advice on it. Is there anything I should change? How large should the portions be? What calorific input should I aim for?


This is what I've got so far:


Meal 1 10:00

Dry oats with water
2 bananas
2 Poached eggs or 2 raw organic eggs
1 litre water and morning supplements(multivitamin and a tablespoon of glutamine)


Meal 2 12:00

Bowl of brown rice with chicken/turkey/lean fish
Bowl of vegetables


Pre-workout supplements 12:30

Tablespoon of creatine mixed with juice


Workout 13:00 to 14:00


Post-workout supplements 14:00

Tablespoon of creatine
Tablespoon of Glutamine
2 grams of Vitamin C ( Mix them all in a juice)


Meal 3 14:30

Shake (1/2 cup of cream of rice, 1 banana, 2 scoops of vitamin C)


Meal 4 16:30

Low Sugar Weight Gainer with skimmed milk and a tablespoon of flax oil / peanut butter


Meal 5 18:00

Low Sugar Weight Gainer with skimmed milk and a tablespoon of flax oil / peanut butter


Meal 6 20:00

Bowl of brown rice and chicken/turkey/lean fish
Bowl of vegetables


Meal 7 22:00 / 22:30

Shake ( 2 scoops of slow release protein mixed with 3 scoops of complex carbohydrate powder and water, tablespoon of flaxseed oil,tablespoon of glutamine, and ZMA supplements)


Then I'd go to bed at 23:00, 23:30. I'd also drink 5 litres of water a day.

Any advice would be appreciated.

first of all, don't bother with raw eggs. always cook them, you get more out of them.

Secondly, some of the meals you have there are meal replacements in the form of supplements. don't bother with them, eat big slabs of beef, chicken or fish with some carbs instead.

thirdly, i'd recommend drinking 3 litres of milk a day, 4 if you can manage it. full fat.

post your training program, weights being lifted etc

Brian?

What time do you get up? If its before 10am you need another meal as soon as you get up. Think eggs, cooked eggs.

Meals 3,4+5 aren't meals at all. They're tasty drinks. Try and eat somthing substantial instead, getting the bulk of your protein from supplements is an awful expensive way to do it and worse, you're missing out a chance to eat meat at those times . What is this "low sugar weight gainer"?

What is your training routine?
