I consulted a few sticky threads about calculating what I need for maintenance for my height and weight and then started crunching numbers on my diet. My diet has been pretty consistent only I took out my weight gainer shake and added in a regular protein shake this tome around as I thought that would be more fitting for what my macros should look like.
Dinner is my most inconsistent meal because my family likes to dine out so when I do that I try to eat clean as possible. I’m trying to bulk as cleanly as possible I know it will be slow so any constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated. I’ll get to it.
I’m 5 foot 10, 151 pounds. My goal is to get to 165 pounds. Maintenance calories say I need 2400-2700 to maintain. I did two different tests to calculate those numbers. So ideally I need 2700-3000 calories to slow clean bulk right?
My meals look like this
Breakfast 648 calories, 40g protein, 40g fat, 35g carbs
Snack protein shake and fruit 311 calories, 22g protein, 2.2g fat, 54g carbs
Lunch 459 calories, 46g protein, 12g fat, 41g carbs
Snack protein bar 200 calories, 20g protein, 8g fat, 22g carbs
I usually hit the gym an hour after this and post workout I have another snack before dinner
Post workout snack protein shake and 2 tblspoons peanut butter 310 calories, 31g protein, 17.5g fat, 11g carbs
Dinner 412 calories, 57.5g protein, 6g fat, 51g carbs
I’ll have a snack two hours later usually two cups of yogurt 240 calories, 30g protein, 0g fat, 30g carbs
I also have a protein shake immediately when I wake up so that’s another 120 calories, 24g protein, 1.5g fat, 3g carbs
Altogether my macros look like this
Calories 2,746, Protein 274.5g, Fat 87g, Carbs 291g, Fiber 57.4g
I feel on paper this is a good diet to go by I can consistently eat these foods daily and not get bored though my dinner meal i haven’t started eating it yet I made that macro meal plan based of chicken, broccoli and brown rice.
I feel this diet is way high in protein? Also a buddy told me I should lower the carbs. Most of my carbs are Whole Foods and complex carbs like oatmeal or coming from veggies and fruits. Again I’m not expert but I’m trying to fine tune a diet for me I can consistently work with so just looking for some feedback please.
