Overall I think it looks pretty good, maybe rework your post workout meal to have some high GI carbs and less fat. The question is, are you gaining?

:withstupi

move your post w/o pb to last meal.
and, are you gaining?

Very little gains overall

[Anthony]

Increase your calories to 4000.

I used to weigh 225 and was very overweight til I went to the gym and lost 80 pounds now I am trying to gain muscle but I do not want to gain fat back so 4000 may be a bit extreme.

[Anthony]

An extra 500 calories per day would equate to gaining ~1lb per week. If that's too much, try an extra 250 calories per day. The point is, if you aren't gaining on 3500 calories, you need to increase. If you are going to the gym on a regular basis, eating fairly clean, and not eating excessively (an extra 500 cals above maintenance isn't excessive in my opinion), then you should see little fat gain.

up it man, get some muscle goin and if you catch some fat..cut after bulking and you should look good man..LT

[Holto]

if your not gaining some fat you're not really bulking

you want to minimize the fat gained but if you slowly raise cals in small increments that should be easy

also, it seems cutting fat that is new is easier than fat you carried for 10 years

[vegetapower]

I'll try uping the cals and see how things work out. Thanks

Say if your at 158lbs at 15-17% body fat, if you cut down to 8-10 how much muscle can one lose?
