I've been running my diet off of memory for some time now, ever since I lost my last hard copy of it. But I sat down this AM, and tracked everything I ate in the last 24hrs. This is very much a typical day of eating for me.

My goals are to put on some lean weight. Ideally I'd like to see what I look like at 180#. That's about 10-12lbs away from my most recent scale weight.

My routine is Day1 - Upper, Day2 - Lower/Abs. Although beginning this week (now that I think this nagging cold has left me), I am planning on doing HIIT on a stationary bike on Day3s.

I wanted to get an idea of what you guys thought about it.

Yes, I see you noticed. :o

How many servings are we talking about here? Is 2 or 3 a day enough? I do have a thing for fruit because it's great road food. No preparation other than washing it. But I suppose I could easily do the same with some raw broccoli. :drool:

Are veggies, in general, superior to fruit? I've always lumped them together, and then favored the better tasting option.

I'd recommend consuming both veggies and fruit. I myself eat a lot more veggies though.

That's a butt load of carbs :eek: I know you are trying to bulk, but I still think you should take the carbs down a notch and replace them with more fats and protein at each meal. That's a lot of milk too. 1-2 8oz glasses is fine, but it just has too much sugar to be having 54 oz of it per day. Here are my other thoughts:

Meal 1: That's a lot fat for a cereal, which is a pretty bad source of carbs as well. Why not eggs (w/yolks) or cottage cheese? Oatmeal instead of the cereal.
Meal 2: Need more healthy fats, veggies.
Meal 3: Need veggies. A better carb source than milk (too much sugar carbs). Try something like brown rice or sweet potatoes.
Meal 4: Better protein source. Pasta is highly processed and the protein is rather poor. Maybe consider adding lean ground beef to that mix.
Meal 5: That's a lot of fat in one sitting. Instead of 4 tbls of PB, try 1 tbls per meal. Again, you need better protein sources. Cottage cheese before bed is a great one.

150 g of chicken only gets me 35 g of P, whilst yours gets you 45 :confused:

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

My next time Krogering, I'll pick up some veggies. And Burrito, I'll work on tweaking up a couple of things in there keeping some of the things you said in mind.
