male. 180 lbs. 6ft0. i don't know my bodyfat yet. but using the calorie calculations on this website i should be shooting for about 2500kcals a day. I am pretty new to lifting so i have been making strength gains while simply maintaining, so i'm going to try and shoot for 2500kcal a day for about a month and see how it impacts me. After that time i will reevaluate how many calories i should be taking in.

[GetPsycho]

are you trying to gain or cut though?

i suppose i'm trying gain really cleanly. I'm kind of experimenting right now.
Thanks for all the help and interest GP.

you can consider it a clean bulk then

your first meal looks great. your second meal is lacking in lean protein

You are bulking and only getting 2000 calories a day? Even on a cut, for your weight and height, thats too low, let alone a bulk.

Try chaning some food. I see you have milk 3 times a day?

Good luck on the journal. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

[tzbaron]

okay i'm starting a new phase in my dieting journal. I just started fall semester and will be very busy for its duration, i probably won't be able to write down all of my calories and macronutrients. for now i'm just going to be keeping track of how much protein i'm taking in (only from whey and animal sources), making sure its enough. The rest of my food will come from clean sources of fats and carbs.

4 slices crap lunch meat [img]/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] 16

8 oz chicken breast 52
1 scoop whey 21
8 oz milk 8
