Dirty Bulk questions and info?

[NattyIce]

Hello,
Had some questions about my dirty bulking diet. Little info about myself before I continue. I've been lifting for a little over a year solid(5x a week, 2 rest days. Haven't missed a day) My starting weight was 145lbs, after 14 months I've gained 50+ lbs. I now weigh 198-200lbs. Still very lean, not as cut , but still cut nonetheless. The entire time I've consumed everything in my path as far as food is concerned. I now eat 6 times a day, 5k calories a day. No supplements other than creatine. Below is my meal plan I've created for myself.. It's VERY dirty. Keep in mind, I'm that skinny kid hardgainer type.. Goal years from now would be ideally around 240-250 . bulked, 225-235 cut? (later ofcourse)

Any suggestions as far as moding my meal plan would be much appreciated from some veteran lifters. This was built on a budget , finances are pretty tight. So any info on cheaper/faster/better methods. Thanks guys

If a dirty BULK works for you stick with it... But most people on a dirty bulk will get fat

 

[woodswise]

Dude you're going to gain maybe 10 lbs of muscle in a year (no matter what your diet and supplements are like), and the rest will be fat. If you don't want to be fat, then slow down and do a clean bulk.

Also, I recommend you cut from time to time, at least once every couple of years and do it for 3 to 6 months. That will get you back to a lean condition so you can see how much muscle you have gained, and will keep you from getting too fat.

Finally, if you want to eat cheap, learn to prepare your foods. Eating all these brand name prepared foods is expensive, and not healthy as there are a lot of added salt and sugar in prepared foods.

Looking at what you buy things like nuttela and cup cakes these are not good for your diet, need to start consuming more protein as woodswise said start preparing your own food, tuna and chicken is dirt cheap nowadays and rice is cheap, look at carbs and protein intake not calories, get the protein & carb ratio right and then count the calories if your still short on calories then address this problem and only then

And if you can afford just one supplement then I would opt for glutamine

What? Glutamine is practically useless for anybody but burn patients or those with a genetic anomaly/deficiency. Search this site for more info on why glutamine is not only not important, but is an utter waste of money.

NattyIce, replace tuna with steak or ground beef or pork. Eat some sort of animal sourced protein with every meal. Stay away from the processed crap as much as possible. Eat white rice and/or sweet potatoes in massive quantities. Toss a handful of nuts in with every meal. Drink a half-gallon of whole fat chocolate milk (without high-fructose corn syrup) every day. Just have a glass full or two after every meal possible. Take creatine, 3-5g per day of monohydrate, with a room temperature sugary drink. You WILL bulk.

I may not be as old school as you, but I was from the same school of thought concerning glutamine until I started really digging into it, thanks to Diesel0022. Check into it.

No problem Mohammed. I've been hearing rumors from your girlfriend that you're spending hours every day on TID, researching. That's awesome man. Keep it up and post up when you have questions/comments.
