The calories seems off, no? Otherwise, looks good. Inb4eatmore.

[psu027]

Your formula might be off. 1809 calories is not enough for the food you put down.

Damn, man, those are some really low calorie foods. Also I read that as 3 or 4 cups of milk. You're doing really good for what I'm assuming you're setting out to do (lower body fat, more defined?), maybe just up your aerobic exercise to lose those last 5 lbs. Good luck.

I think I want to start a bulk in November. Anyone have suggestions on how many calories I should take in to bulk?

[Focused70]

For your bulk -- 1.5 to 2 g protein per lb. of bodyweight comes out to roughly in the neighborhood of 230 to 300ish grams of protein. Aim for 4,000 to 4,500 calories a day.

At some point, it's going to be difficult to eat cleanly. Good luck though.

I wish I was 26 years old...

Try entering your foods in Fitday.com and it breaks everything down........even % for Protein, carbs and fats. http://www.fitday.com

Start by raising you caloric intake by 500 cals. Right now I take in 3800 Calls a dat with 310g of Protein, 425g of carbs and 85g of Fat. I am eating soooo much and still leaning out.

I like your diet schedule but would recommend my carbs(Sweet Potatos, Oatmeals..etc) when you start bulking.
