Is this a good diet to bulk up?

Bombardment! Asked by optex over 2 years ago, 3 answers.

Hi.
I'm a 6'0 male, 165 lbs. I want to gain some muscle so I go to the gym 5 days a week, one day of cardio and one day of rest. Do you think that my diet is good in order to gain clean mass:
[Total Calories : 2600 | Total Carbs : 250g | Total fats : 40g...

| Total Protein: 180g ]
Morning : Weight Gainer with a scoop of protein followed by breakfast
Lunch 1 : Low-fat protein-high sandwich
Lunch 2: another low fat protein-high sandwich
Weight Gainer shake with milk amino acids with a scoop of whey protein (after work out)
Dinner: Beef (red meat, low on fat) with a salad
Before bed : 1 scoop of whey protein( low on carbs)
You think the program's any good ?
Thank you

I've had the best results from a program called HIT or High Intensity Training. With this program you do one very intense set of each exercise with heavy weights.

Your diet is rather protein heavy. You don't need any protein supliments, you get plenty of protein in your normal diet. The only people you are helping by taking protein supliments are the people who sell them. You do need to increase your calories when you are building bulk, your body needs more calories to build muscle. That is why it is difficult to build muscle and loose weight at the same time.

Anyway, look into HIT for a good program and I think you'll be impressed with the results.

Make sure it fits the food pyrimid... but calories is good because your a tall guy so that's enough food. I fat isn't alot... so im guessing it's a good diet... just make sure your getting the enough of food you need.

its great. good mix of carbs for energy and protein. but work out less. cut it down to 2-3 times a week. ur muscles need time to grow and recover. if not they'll stay the same size.
