Im assuming from your monstrous amount of carbs this is a bulking diet. It actually looks ok to me. You have a good amount of clean fats and proteins, with solid carb choices to limit the belly growth. Before and after pics would be useful too.

Need some current stats, goals of diet, etc to really critique it bro.

It that is a bulking diet, its super clean. Props if you can stick to it.

[Amoral]

Yeah bulking diet. You can see my current stats in my pic thread...

But here they are anyway...

200lbs currently
5'9"

GOALS:

215 after PCT would be awesome, but 210 sounds more realistic.

Increase bench to sets 315 bb or 125 db
Increase deadlift from 400 to 500
Increase squat from 300 to 375

Build up the wheels
Thin out torso
Widen lats

I do a cheat meal once or twice a week tho, to keep my sanity

Brick, it seems like you know what you're talkin about as I've read some of
your posts, so I'm lookin forward to any suggestions you have :)

Its perfect if you plan on joining the Dallas Cowboys offensive line! For a 200lb BB it is not...it needs alot of work.

^ he might be looking for a bit more info than that lol.

Id say add more fruits and veggies.

[Praetorian]

^ Theres an idea add more carbs!

1. Way too many carbs!!!
2. Way too many calories!!!
3. Meals are too close together, not balanced, too many calories in some not enough in others.
4. Way too many carbs late in the day.

Offseason diet is not an excuse to eat everything in sight and get fat...oh sorry bulk up. A cheat meal or two is fine on the weekends but you should be eating a lean mass gaining type diet thru the week. This means 6-8 evenly spaced macro nutrient balanced meals thru the day. Food takes time to digest...two hours is not long enough three is ideal. A shake in the middle of the night is fine but unless you are on a sex marathon every night carbs are not necessary...protein and fat is ideal.
Keep things simple...start at a base line...a 1-1-1 caloric ratio and work up from there. For a 200lb BB thats (1.5g/lb pro) 300g pro+300g carbs + 130g fat daily spaced out over 6 meals. Thats 50g pro + 50g carbs + 20g fats per meal for 6 meals. Watch your progress as you go, add in a PWO shake 40gpro+40carbs and see how things go. If you are getting too fat back off on the carbs, if you arent growing add another meal...or raise the fats slightly.
You have to take offseason eating as serious as precontest...if you want optimal muscle. Gear and peptides work much better on a lean physique not to mention the further over 10% BF you get the worse your endogenous hormone profile gets...not good.

Thanks for the info, P.

I was told endlessly to "eat, Eat, EAT" while on my first Tren cycle. I know I
was probably overdoing it, which is why I posted this.

This is my first experience with dieting in general and watching macronutrient intake,
so all the input helps out alot.

The 50-50-20 ratio seems like a good place to start, so I'll try that first.

Also, I've always been advised not to comsume fats within 6 hours post-workout. Do
you see any problem with shifting majority fat intake outside of this timeframe and
focussing CHO intake within that 6 hour window?
