I'm faced with the problem (as are a few others 
) of planning out their bulking diets.
Back when I made progress with my first few cycles, I really had little control over my diet. I was at college; breakfast was pretty consistent but lunch and dinner could be anything. So I basically just pounded down food with a mind for protein and logged it to get a sense of calories and ratios.
It worked; I put on weight quickly and most of it was muscle.
Now, being on summer break, I have the opportunity to really plan everything out and eat the same things for consistency. But I have no idea what to eat.
Protein: got that covered; I'll make mass quantities of boneless chicken breasts on the foreman grill.
Carbs: I have no idea? At school I would eat bowls and bowls of cheerios and 2% milk, how does that sound? What are your favorite mass-quantity, cheap, low GI carbs?
Fat: I figure that will take care of itself, right?
The eating for size article is helpful with the sample diets, but I'd like to hear more examples (eating plain rice and bread sounds lame).
Anyway, if you have specific suggestions for foods to eat, post up. If you have favorites that you want to share, post up. Or lastly, if you've already planned out your diet to some degree of detail, copy and paste that in here. Thanks guys.
