Critique on My Mass Diet Program

Diet and Nutrition
1

hey all-
I am just recently starting a mass gaining program for about 16 weeks. I need around 3000-3500 calories daily (150lbs; 15%BF; 5’10).

I am currently taking around 200-240 g of protein
Should i count milk as a part of my protien intake? because im drinking around 1/2 gallon a day and that’s a huge amount of calories, but is it “pure” protein like steak, fish?

As for carbs, what’s the best forms of carbs to get around 250g of it?
I’m eating oatmeal during breakfast, veggies/fruits every meal. But that’s not enough for 250g; what are some healthy carb sources?

As far as pre/post-workout meals go, i have a few questions.
Is 20g of protein shake and a banana enough for a pre?
Is 30g of protein shake and some raisans(i’m following CW’s Huge in a Hurry program and that’s what he prescribes) enough?
I heard Surge is a good post meal, so if i decide to buy Surge, should i forget about the raisans/protein shake?

And is Surge that good of a supplement for mass gain? I heard great compliments on it. What would be the best type of Surge for mass gain?

any other advice to help me gain weight would be great!

Thanks!
sorry if i am posting in the wrong forum, i’m new here. i’ll learn fast.

Protein: Of course you count milk protein, milk protein is a great source of amino acids.

Carbs: Potatoes, sweet are my preferred potatoes.

Get a lot of carbs and protein PWO, fast digesting versions of both are preferable. Simple sugars like dextrose versus complex ones like oats. Easy to digest proteins like hydrolyzed whey versus long digesting casein.

Surge is a great supplement for PWO. Since you’re really not that experienced I wouldn’t worry about getting the more advanced version of Surge, just get the basic one.

And read the article from yesterday, it has some nice tips that I’d swear by.

Coconut milk is the shit.

sounds good!

if i am thin and i want to gain mass, can i just eat as much as i can? like just shove food in my mouth. (healthy foods)
or would eating too much create fat?

If you’re eating above what your body will use for energy and muscle building, then yes some will be stored as fat.

HOWEVER, expect some fat gain, but focus on eating a lot (if your current intake isn’t working, bump it), and keep monitoring to make necessary changes.

good luck

ps- it’s not rocket science, it’s amazing how easy it is

You sound like a classic case of the clean bulk who is scared of gaining a tiny bit of fat.

You are gaining weight. It won’t all be muscle. Deal with it and you will get better results.

You weigh nothing and are only bulking for 16 weeks? Then what? Cut back down? Maintain? 16 weeks is a short time in the whole scheme of things.

Everything basically has carbs in it so its pretty easy to hit 250g. Rice, pasta, milk, potatoes, yoghurt.

And like said, at your level the Surge workout would probably be a waste, the original is still an awesome product and I highly recommend it.

what is your training/daily activity like?

the pre-workout whey shake sounds good and I wouldn’t drop it. Fruit is a very good choice.

I like a banana/fruit with some whey about 30 minutes pre-workout.

Many people recommend 20-40g dilute carbs peri-workout to keep blood glucose elevated and fuel training. Personally I’ve always liked gatorade.
