what are u trying to do?

well, I don't really consider this a bulking guide as I know I am prolly in the 1800-2400 Calories range and I would need 3200+ to bulk.

I just want to gain a bit of size. I currently weigh around 165 right now and id like to be around 175 by the end of the year. I tried a bulking phase for a little while and while I did gain a bit of size (went from 155 to 160+) I developed a slight gut which I absolutely hated.

your carbs look pretty low. looks like about 100-130g of carbs on your non training days and about 170-190 on training days. fat looks pretty low as well. id add smore complex carbs and healthy fats in there for starters.

my only concern would be balancing your calorie ratio more towards 40/40/20 C/P/F .. it looks more like 20/70/10 now.

word, yeah my carb intake is pretty low.. should be somewhere around 150-200g's a day?

as for healthy fats, I do use extra virgin olive oil for cooking .. usually around 1 teaspoon. also I will be adding 1 teaspoon of flax to my morning shake as well as my shake before bed which will up my fat intake to hopefully a pretty good level.

I don't understand the whole 40/40/20 thing.. I know its 40% carbs, 40% protein , 20% fat.. but how do you guys portion your meals to this?

add up your total calories and see what they came from.

it's only a rough guideline, it's not like you have to be anywhere near exact.
