Hi mate,

Shooting from the hip here - its not the best nor the worst diet I've seen. I think you may need to up the kcals if you are bulking though.

I'd increase the food on your 16:00 meal - have a meal rather than a snack.

Personally I wouldn't train within 30mins of eating - but thats just to avoid being sick.

And I'd try and get to bed before midnight.

Without seeing your P/C/F amounts it's hard to get a really good idea....

How do you think I can add more calories?

I usually leave an hour before training after eating but my lifestyle is really hektic with new job so its difficult mate

the only reason i go to bed at 12 is so that the food is properly disgested after 2hours of consuming it and not sittin in my stomach before bed! isnt that correct?

cheers

If you workout what your meal by meal P/C/F totals are, and then your overall daily P/F/C total is it will be easier to workout.

But theres prob not a huge amount of calories in a sandwich.

If you aim for 35g Protein 70g Low GI Carbs per meal 7 x per day that would be a start (I'm assuming higher carbs than fats...)

Aim being to increase in size/weight but keeping your waist size about the same.

Then just slightly increase the meal sizes when you stop growing/gaining strength.

Thats only a very very basic description though.
