      I just bulked from 170lb to 200lb in the span of 3.5 months. I did GOMAD (1% milk) and didn't really count calories, but I'm assuming I ate within the range of 3.5-4k calories a day (I ate a lot of natty peanut butter too). For supplements I'm taking fish oil, a multivitamin, Uni-Liver, beta alanine for pre/post-workout and melatonin before I go to bed. I drink 2 gallons of water a day. I honestly have no idea what my bodyfat % is but I would assume around 15-20% and I want to cut down to 10-12% within a few months. I have cut in the past but that was in high school and I was practically starving myself.

      Meal 1
      2 tbsp peanut butter
      1 banana
      1 scoop whey
      4 Universal Uni-Liver
      Totals: Protein 38g, Carbs 40, Fats 18.5, Calories 455

      Meal 2
      12 almonds
      1/2 cup oatmeal
      2 scoops whey
      Totals: Protein 56g, Carbs 34, Fats 13, Calories 464

      "Meal" 3
      2 scoops whey
      4 Universal Uni-Liver
      Totals: Protein 54g, Carbs 4, Fats 3, Calories 262

      Meal 4
      8 oz. grilled chicken
      1 cup green beans
      2 tbsp light Italian dressing
      4 Universal Uni-Liver
      Totals: Protein 72g, Carbs 10, Fats 19.5, Calories 508

      Meal 5
      1/2 cottage cheese
      1/2 pasta sauce
      Totals: Protein 14g, Carbs 17, Fats 7, Calories 200

      Postworkout
      2 scoops whey
      Totals: Protein 48g, Carbs 4, Fats 3, Calories 234

      Overall Totals: Protein 282g, Carbs 105g, Fats 61g, Calories ~ 1900

      Please let me know what you think.

      Why would you consume food 6 times per day (including your "post workout shake") when you're only consume 1,900 calories?

      Increased hunger from frequent meals, made worse by the fact that 4 of your meals are composed of protein shakes (which often provide lower satiety than solid meals).

      Based on what? You don't know his TDEE so you have no idea if your caloric intake is too low (though it seems likely it is too low). And you do know that his dietary fat intake is deficient and so is his intake of micronutrients.

      You have been bit by the muscle mag supplement bug!!

      Op, please do yourself a real big favor and take the first steps in forgetting everything you think you know about nutrition and start learning everything you need to know. I would suggest you start with the stickies above!

      Begin here, then proceed to the information in the other stickies, but don't stop there, you clearly have access to google, or possibly I-Tunes, you can find a mountain of information at each.

      Good Luck!!!

      I'm open to suggestions. Do you think I should combine meals 1 & 2?

      Not always true. Whey protein is amazing for satiety.
