I’m new to the whole planning food out thing. I’ve always just ate whatever was lying around and lifted heavy. I know I’m going to have an easier time with less selection of foods as long as they are working for me. In a couple weeks I’ll be done with the velocity diet and I want to start bulking. The calorie count is coming from fitday. Any advice you guys could offer would be great. Here’s my plan:
40/40/20 p/c/f
workout days ~4780cal
non-workout days ~4450cal
Current weight 210lbs @ 6ft
Meal 1
5 eggs, 1 banana, 6oz chicken breast
Meal 2
2 cups oatmeal, 1 can tuna
Meal 3
2 cups brown rice, 1 banana, 6oz chicken breast
Meal 4
1 cup oatmeal, 1 can tuna
Meal 5
1 cup brown rice, 1 banana, 6oz chicken breast
The 6 foods that work… I like it. Remember that brown rice and sweet potato are interchangeable
If you can stick to that diet, then good for you! You’ll prolly stay very lean even while bulking.
You might wanna look into getting some Animal Pak or Superfood to make up for that lack of variety (i.E. getting in all of your vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients).

Yeah haha raising the bar. He said egg whites but I don’t see the big deal about yolks if I’m not cutting. I’ll still have leftover Superfood from the V-Diet and I’ll probably sprinkle that in with l-leucine. I’m currently using opti-men multivitamins.
I tried to lower carbs for the last meal and increase fats. Any thoughts on whether or not this is a good strategy guys? By the way, my training will be BBB 4 workouts per week option.
It’ll help with your overall calorie intake and help get in some more fats… Also, red meat e.g. Beef contains a lot of natural creatine. Reg Park - Beef, Orange juice, eggs and Milk I believe his diet was. But I think that was just a guideline as in beef meaning most red meats, orange juice all fruits, eggs well… eggs and milk he had a lot of milk…
Make sure you get a lot of milk in your diet and beef, my favourite bulking foods - cheap, easy and awesome.

Saying there’s only a few foods that work is moronic and the guy sounded like he was twelve in saying so.
Be real careful ingesting that much after leaning down, if you don’t do it right the only weight you’ll gain will be around the midsection.
Point in case I tried to bulk up for about 6 weeks and I ate a diet very similar to yours, all clean foods, all good carbs but just lots and lots of em.
I went from eating a 2500 kcal diet to. 4500 kcal diet in a week and the results were a fucking disaster.
My advice is too start slowly, only add 250 kcal to your intake weekly. If your not gaining, up the Kcals, if your gaining too fast then drop them slightly.
Take everything one week at a time and be patient dude.
