I guess I'm in a bulking phase and I just calculated what I have eaten so far today.

Protien shake (MucsleTech Nitro-Tech) - 25g
Balance Bar - 15g
Oatmeal - 7g
Healthy Choice Salsburry Steak 23g
Another Balance Bar - 15g

So far thats only 85g of Protien

I plan to take another shake after my workout so add another 25g

then eat a small portion of meat so I'm assuming 30g more.

Thats only maybe 140g of protien!! And I weigh 180!

Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong here? I'm really ever really hungry since I've been eating 5-6 times a day. Any other easy ideas to get more protien in me?

:tu:

cut out the balance bars bro, they are shite when it comes to a proper macronutrient balance. check out all the sugars in them!

if you weigh 180, the general guideline is about 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight, which puts you at 180g/protein/day. spread that evenly across 6 meals, which would be about 30 grams of protein per meal. what can you eat that would get you 30 grams per meal? chicken breast, fish, some natty pb, egg beaters, whey protein shakes(not too much liquid protein tho, u want substance), tuna, tuna, and more tuna, etc.

spread it out across the day, and its easier to get your allowance.

I think I'm gonna substitute one of my balance bars with a can of tuna, and have some egg beaters in the morning.

Time to go to the grocery store!

good idea bro! im not a big fan of the bars myself, because there really isnt a perfect one out there yet. some guys have made a bar called the "sheesh bar", they can be bought here :: http://www.sheeshbars.com/

they are supposed to be damn good!
