Hi guys, i started bulking on monday and i was just wondering what you guys reckon of my set up. I used the massive eating calculator, which said i should be around 3600 cals on weight training days (mon, weds, fri). On a side note, i am doing intervals for 15-20 mins on non weight training days (tues, thurs)as a means of minimising fat gain, should i keep calories the same as weight training days with this in mind, or reduce slightly?
Anyways, here’s what i’ve eaten roughly for the last couple days:
Breakfast:
Porridge (oatmeal) with milk, water, whey and various toppings (bananas, raisins, honey)
fish oil (3tsp) - roughly 4g combined dha/epa.

carbs: ~130-150g
fats: ~15g
cals: 950-1000
