Ok, after much painful considerations I have come up with this list of foods that I will be using for my diet. My choices are based around ease of preparation, availability and taste!

This is enough food to get me through a day of 3000cals, and 160+ protien

2 bowls of museli with milk................................496cal
120g green beans............................................. 40cal
2 carrots........................................... .................110cal
orange............................................ ...................85cal
3x 185g tins of tuna............................................23 1cal
2 serves of whey protien shake.........................380cal
apple............................................. .....................75cal
2x 250ml serves milk..........................................290c al
banana............................................ ...................80cal
2 cups cooked brown rice...................................440cal
100g sweet potatoe........................................... 65cal
4 slices whole grain bread..................................420cal
3 whole eggs.............................................. .........240cal

All this food adds to about 3000cal and 180g protien.
If I split this food into 6 or more equal meals will I be on the right track?

Ive tried to include some slow and fast carbs, as well as fruit and veg and grains.

This is the easiest way I've found to track the diet; using protien and calories as a guide. (Im hoping the carbs and fat will be ok)

to be effective you need to least your meals not all the food.Alot depends on how and when you eat it.You cant just say ok this equals this so as long as I eat all this Ill be ok

My idea is to centre my(6) meals around my protien requirements, and to have an equal portion in of protien each meal.
I will also be keeping the faster carbs such as fruits to post workout meals.
I plan to accurately monitor the daily amount of calories being consumed, whilst knowing protien requirements are being met.

Is this approach valid, and are the foods suitable?
I'm finding it very hard to find a suitable diet, and way of planning/organising it.

Thanks!

if your bulking, you need to concentrate on higher carbs. 2-3 grams per pound of bodyweight, if your not getting that you will not be growing suffiently

Cosign. You weigh 160 it looks right? If so aim for 360-450g of carbs.
