Whats wrong with my bulking diet?

[LC_21]

hey guys im currently trying to bulk im in the offseason and i need to put on massive amounts of size for my next competition. The problem is im thinking im eating too clean or maybe not getting enough calories..no day is the same but heres a sample day...like today for instance.

All meals are spread out within a 2-3 hour interval.

meal 1: 2 packets of oatmeal, 1 protein shake.

meal 2: cup of white rice , 8 egg whites, 3 eye round steak.

meal 3: (pre workout) 2 packets of oatmeal, 1 protein shake

meal 4: (post workout) i have 2 bananas and a protein shake right after i train....then my meal is either some kind of rice or potatoe, 3-4 pieces of meat, vegetable.

meal 5: some more chicken and rice

meal 6: 2 eye round steaks , 8 egg whites. Then another protein shake before bed.


The calories dont seem to be adding up...what should i add or change...any advice would be great...remember i need to gain serious mass.

Your first paragraph say's it all.." no day is the same" Take time to add up the calories consumed above and lets start there.

Add in a shake (or two) in the middle of the night, and throw in a peice of fruit to your first 3 meals. Easy as that

What are your stats.
You need to know how many calories you require.

Theres definitely room for improvement in your diet
e.g Breakfast oatmeal and a shake,oatmeal is too slow burning you need to get some fast burning carbs in you quick smart,as your body is releasing cortisol get things burning for the day and that means catabolism if you don't feed yourself.
So keep one packet of oatmeal and add some white rice or toast,that will give your body something to burn.
What about the shake,what kind do you have.A fast acting whey isolate protein is going to get used fast,you need some real protein with sustenance or you'll be stealing protein off of your arms to feed your organs and make blood cells etc.So you need meat or whole eggs as well.
How long after you eat meal 3 do you train.This meal is also only and protein shake with
oatmeal.I wouldn't be surprised if you dip out in energy real fast during your workout.

You're going to need to now how many calories you need and change things up to get fast energy when you need it and sustenance in your diet or you'll be tapping your resources and getting no where.
