looks pretty damn good to me.

some people might recommend you use Fish oil instead of Flax. Mainly because Flax does not have EPA/DHA. However, the ALA in Flax gets converted into EPA/DHA, but it's not an efficient process.

Other than that, everything looks solid.

I wouldnt count the post workout meal in it though as you most likely arent training every day so wont be taking it. i just use it as a bonus meal to replace and boost on cals lost by training

I think the peanut butter and flax oil before bed might be too much fat at one time, but other than that the diet looks really good.

Not a big deal, but for your PW shake, you'll probably wanna ditch either the brown sugar or the PB.

PB (fat + fiber) will slow digestion, if that's what you're going for
Sugar would give an insulin spike, speeding absorbtion if you're into that whole deal.

Also, if you stick with the sugar, you might wanna go with dextrose or maltodextrin instead of brown sugar. AFAIK brown sugar (like table sugar) is 1/2 fructose, which really isn't doing much for you.

If you're doing it for the flavor, try "Brown Sugar Twin"-- it's aspartame and maltodextrin if I recall correctly, doesn't taste too bad, especially in a shake.

Add more potatoes or rice to Meal # 5 along with veggies.Meal# 6 is more of a snack to me try a can of tuna with it also for increased protein intake.Why not add a couple of whole eggs in Meal#1? After all you`re bulking and calories count.
