Tweak bulking diet plz

[Avatar]

October 29 I'm gonna start bulking for a 10 week phase. I'm going to shoot for around 1-1.5 lb gain / week tops.
I've started my cals off at 2900, and will progress 300cal every week I gain under 1lb. I want minimal fat gain with this diet.

Meals 2 and 6 I have to eat out of town everyday.

Here is what it looks like:

Meal 1: 1 Bagel (216,43,8,1)
6 Egg Whites (100,0,21,0)
2 Whole Egg (150,2,14,10)
1 slice Cheddar Cheese (79,1,6,5)

Calories = 545
Carbs = 46g
Protein = 49g
Fat = 16g

Meal 2: 1 can Tuna (135,0,30,1)
26g Almonds (151,5,5,13)

Calories = 286
Carbs = 5g

1 tsp Peanut Butter (50,1,2,4)

3/4 cup Cottage Cheese 1%(150,10,23,2)

Calories = 433

Fat = 8g

Meal 4 (post workout): 1 Myoplex (280,24,42,2)

Meal 5: 5oz Salmon (256,0,33,11) or Steak at the same calories
1/2 cup Brown Rice (110,23,3,1) or Sweet Potatoes at the same calories

3/4 cup Brown Rice (165,35,5,1)

Meal 7: 1 Bagel (216,43,8,1)
6 Egg Whites (100,0,21,0)
1 Whole Egg (75,1,7,5)

Today's Totals

Extra Supps
5g Creatine (post-workout)

My diet will be like that 6 out of 7 days / week. 7th day will be a cheat day where anything and everything goes. :micro:

when I cut I never eat carbs before bed. Originally, I was to have meal 2 (the tuna and almonds) which has no carbs for my last meal of the day but I now have to be out of the house for meals 2 and 6 until the end of november, so I gotta eat something I can bring with me.

So since I love eggs on a bagel, I figured it wouldn't hurt to have them as my last meal of the day. Maybe the raised insulin and the great protein source of eggs will help me stay in a positive nitrogen balance while I'm sleeping.

Whats your opinions on that. Carbs before bed or not while bulking? remember I'm trying to gain minimal fat.

I like to have a drotein/fat meal before bed w/ low carbs but if your schedule doesnt allow it and you are not overly sensitive to carbs you should be ok while bulking.

If the glycogen stores are full,then all the carbs eaten will be stored as fat.Period.It's not an insulin resistance -or whatever- factor.
