I am going to try and have a perfect bulking day today and I will list everything tomorrow and see what you guys think.
Ok, well I forgot to list what I had all day but I will try and remember now. I have a nutrition journal but I think I added a few things that I didnt write down so here we go:
Pre Workout - Banana
PWO - Shake with Milk, Honey, Protein, Oatmeal
Snack - Shake with Water, Protein, Oatmeal, PB
Lunch - WW Lasagna with lean ground turkey and peas
Snack - Cottage Cheese and Mixed Nuts
Supper - 2 Chicken Breasts and LOTS of veggies
Snack - 2 Tbsp PB and more Cottage Cheese and a couple cups of coffee.
2975 Cals
43% Protein, 28% Carbs, 29% Fat
How does that look guys??? I was actually shooting for just a bit higher cals but didnt quite get there.

You are bulking–right??
A freakin’ banana before a workout! At least throw down 20g/p in water.
WW Lasagna with lean ground turkey! Am I correct that ww stands for weight watchers? Lean ground turkey–what about ground beef? The supreme lean is just as lean as most ground turkey. In fact, inless you are buying ground breast, it probably is leaner.
Switch your PWO and snack shakes around. It’s subtle, but the latter will digest much quicker–or better yet, instead of milk and honey, just use choc. milk.
No carbs–except for some veggies–in your last 3 meals/snacks? Good complex carbs are your friend on a bulk. Don’t be afraid to throw that 2 tbsps of peanut butter on 2 pieces of whole wheat bread. Drink a nice glass of whole milk to wash it down. Add an apple to your after lunch snack.
Those subtle adjustments could have garnered you 500-600 quality calories.
Also, not sure about your coffee that late. It may interupt sleep.
