Hey,

I asked a month ago about foods to start a new diet and thanks to that I've come up with hopefully a good bulking diet. I just need some help to fine tune it.

Meal #1 - 2 Scrambled eggs with wholemeal bread
Meal #2 - Oats with Apple
Meal #3 - Protein Shake
Meal #4 - Tuna/Mayo with cucumber sandwich (Wholemeal Bread)
Meal #5 - Protein Shake
Meal #6 - Chicken Breast

That's what a normal workout day would look like. A non workout day would replace one of the protein shakes with a cheese and onion sandwich. I'm also going to be drinking 2 liters of water a day. Here's a few things I need help on.

1) Chicken Breast. How much of it should I be eating a day? At my local butchers it costs £1.70 for 1lb so in weight how much should I eat a day?

2) How much calories/protein is that? I've checked on a few sites and they really don't have the figures for this so if anyone could help me with that it would be great!

Thanks!
 
Right off the bat you need to add fibrous veggies and fats EFA's to your approach.
 
I'm also planning to eat some fruit as well during the day. I was thinking an apple/banana a day. I have no idea what fibrous veggies and fats EFA's are. Could you please either tell me or link me to somewhere I can find out so I can add some to my diet.

Thanks.

Isn't the cucumber in the tuna/mayo enough and if not how much more should I be eating of a cucumber? Also should I add the cheese and onion sandwich daily or add in a peanut butter sandwich? I might have the wrong idea so any help would be appreciated!

Go on Fitday.com and plug all those in. If you don't see the foods you want, then just add custom foods.
 
Thanks for the help. So with my meals above, If I add in some more cucumber and a pepper as well as some nuts and peanut butter I should be set? Thanks for your help,

I still really need some help on chicken breasts. I have never had any before and am going to purchase a George Foreman GRILL. I wanna know how much in size is a normal amount to eat in one sitting and also should I just grill it or add stuff to it?

Thanks!
 
Thanks for the link. Just spent the past hour working out how much all this works out to. Here are the foods I put in.

2 Scrambled egg sandwich
2 Protein Shakes a day
Oats with Apple
Tuna Mayonnaise Sandwich
3oz of Chicken Breast grilled
Banana
handful of almonds
Red raw pepper

All together that comes with

Cals Fat Carbs Prot

Totals 1685 53 185 128

I weight 154 pounds so I was hoping to get up to 150g of protein and my aim for the calories was 3306.089 which I worked out before but sounds wrong!

I'm some way off but I've got a question. For chicken breast I put down 3oz worth. That worked out to 120 cals and 24g protein. Should I eat more chicken breast as doubling the serving would get me my ideal protein intake?

Also I'm not too sure on how the carbs and fat looks? Is that ok or do I need more/less?

Finall is that calorie intake I need right? I'm 5'11, 154 pounds and 19 year old male. I asked around and was told I should be nearer to 2500 cals not 3306.089! My aim is to bulk so it could be right.

If it is could someone please help me put on more cals because the foods I have listed seems like a lot to eat but is just over half of the cals I should be eating!

Thanks!
 
An update.

At my local tescos I bought a Cheese and Onion sandwich and some strawberry milkshake. Read the nutritional info and it turns out together that gives me 1052 calories which is great. If I add this to my diet this is where it leaves my food info.

Cals Fat Carbs Prot

2737 109 278 170

I really need some help so hopefully someone can answer the questions above! I'm happy with my protein amount, not sure about the rest though!
 
You might start gaining weight if you eat that many calories. All a full salid might be good rather than just 1 pepper. 3-4 servings is recommended and 2-3 fruit servings per day. Cucumbers are ok but peppers, broccoli, and spinach are better options. I would probably go with 2000-2200 calories per day without exercise and 2500-2600 calories with exercise.
