Hi hamhock!

Does your diet look good? I'll return you a question: What is the objective of this diet?

… but the best way to know if it's a good diet for you: How does your bodyweight react?

PS: "5'9 at 230 with 10% bodyfat" Nice stats!

What are you trying to do? 5'9", 230 @ 10%. Whatever you are doing. Something is right. My goal (5'8" 235)

Thanks for your response's. My main objective now is to put on a little bit more size. Since I'm a little older my metabolism is not as fast as when I was younger and have to make sure I eat fairly clean or I will start to put on fat. I use to think you had to eat well over 5000 calories a day, but am finding out that is not necesarily the case. As long as I maintain a fairly clean diet things seem to go pretty well.

I hear ya. When I was 19 I thought that eating 10,000 cals per day was the trick. Yes, Thats right 10,000. I wouldnt go a day without all of them. 3 HUGE weight gainer shakes + Lots of food. We didnt know all that much then. Overtrained and didnt eat enough protein..
