Bulking up for the "carb sensitive" natural bodybuilder
Hey guys school and work have finally got to a more manageable level for me..and I am ready to get back to lifting hard and heavy and making some great gains in the gym.
My current diet is as follows
typical day
Meal 1: 1/14 cup egg whites, 1 banana, 1 pack weight control oatmeal, 27 almonds, 1 1/2 cup silk milk w/ coffee
Meal 2: 7.5 oz chicken, 1 can no salt green beans, 1 med orange, 27 almonds
Meal 3: Same as meal 2 with either a medium orange or apple
Meal 4: (Post workout) 2 Scoop whey, 1 pack oatmeal, 27 almonds
Meal 5: 2 Scoop whey, 1 can green beans
First thing I realized when I was breaking down my diet is how much of it is from fat...I am sure that its WAAYYY to many almonds and that I need to change my fat sources. Also I would like to switch up and add in some different foods that my help me to add some lean muscle.
I am pretty carb sensitive according to when I used to work with some trainers in the past growing up..however currently I am stuck around 190lbs. I am pretty lean and can see upper and some lower abs and have a definition pretty good all around..but I still have that stubborn fat around my lower back that is hard as hell to get rid of.
I have a couple diets on here suggested to me way back...but wanted to update and see what some of you carb sensitive folks do to gain lean body mass???
Thanks
BF

I think I am going to try something like this
Meal 1: Turkey bacon, egg whites, 4 slices Ezekiel, coconut oil
Meal 2: Chicken, green beans, almonds
Meal 3 Lean red meat, broccoli, EVOO
Meal 4: Shake, Oatmeal, 1 half banana, almonds
Meal 5: tuna with EVOO, green beens
Supps: Pre-workout, Fish Oil, Multi
+ more water and some morning cardio
-add an extra lean mean w/o carbs if necessary
Hopefully the added calories from the Lean meat and extra carbs will help and also give me a little extra test boost
What do you guys think?...better approach here?

I like the idea of basically a keto diet and then gradually add some carbs in there. I think what you got looks good, but we can always refine things as you go.

I am in the same boat as you. I slowly add in carbs but my main calorie increases come from fat and some protein as thats the only way i dont get puffy and fat.

Try adding in some BCAA post workout and first thing in the am.
I follow a diet pretty close to that and little things like BCAAs and couple cups fat free cottage cheese before bed. Just be consistent!!! Keep it up bro, good luck

I totally agree. The one thing I have learned over the past 5 years or so is that fats are so overlooked and people shouldn't shy away from them as much as they think. Great for controlling weight loss and also "bulking"
