Too much protein… How does my weekly agenda look?
Here’s the diet
8am-60g protein shake & mulitvitamin
830am-10g protein bar
10am- banana
1130am- 5 dollar oven roasted chicken breast footlong, green tea extract & vitamin b-6
200pm- apple
400pm- 23g protein bar, kre-alkyln (creatine)
5-7pm- gym (M-shoulders, traps, triceps, abs, 20min cardio cooldown, Tu-off, W-back & abs, 20 min cardio cooldown, Thu- 60 min elliptical, 20min treadmill, Fri- chest & biceps, abs, 20 min cooldown, Sat- 45min jog, Sun-off) & creatine
730pm- veggies, rice/beans/pasta/chicken/etc.& 60g protein shake
930pm- yogurt
I weigh 183lbs., 5′11”, 28 years old
Does my diet look sufficient for minor weight gain and constant delivery of essential nutrients and vitamins and minerals, or do I need to switch up something? I am switching my routine completely about once a month as well, by switching up body parts and such accordingly…
Thanks in advance
God bless

Little less cardio esp. on Thursday. Little more whole foods. have a good breakfast with real food. Eat scrambled eggs or oats. It would better if you drank shake straight after a workout not in the morning.
Eat more before workout because you need energy (carbs). Get some rice/pasta.. Protein bar is not good enough for pre workout nutrition.

ya your protein in good remember one gram for every pound you weigh. you should consider going switching your program around hang cleans dead lifts bench and plank for abs. make sure you are drinking a gallon of water to get the full effects of creatine and make sure you cycle off after 6 weeks. maybe cut down on your cardio since you are trying gain mass. its nearly impossible to gain mass and not gain fat. most important make sure you lifting heavy like 3 sets of five. good luck
