Diet Update and Two Week Progress

After two weeks in Mumbai, I have made serious progress towards a consistent daily diet. Every day now, I...

I have resumed the flax seed oil, with the goal of having three tablespoons per day (I mix it with tomato juice).

Me eating Sabudana Wada

So that's my baseline diet. And if I eat that every day, then I can snack on tasty Indian food whenever I come across it. I have not counted my calories recently, but I probably need to add in another meal if I want to gain weight. I am also doing my best not to eat carbs after 7pm, but that is difficult because Indian people eat very late at night.

 
Comments:
sweet potato = carbs
bananas = carbs and fructose
steel cut oats = carbs

you're eating a lot of carbs. why are you trying to gain weight?
 

Hmm, when you put it like that... I guess I am eating a lot of carbs.

Ideally, I want to be getting 40% of my calories from carbs, 40% of my calories from protein, and the remaining 20% from fat.

I am trying to gain muscle weight without the use of steroids. But everything I have read says it is nearly impossible to not gain a little bit of fat while "bulking."

Any suggestions to tweak my diet?
 

what's your goal, nick?

aesthetic goal? dimensions goal? max/rep lifting goal?


i had a mini sweet potato pie last night. it was delicious. makes me realize how often i should eat yams. (i heard it's supposed to be one of those perfect foods, next to things like soybeans, peanuts and quinoa.)
 

Hey Chris- Thanks for commenting. My goal is aesthetic, but I have been tied to a certain weight (190lbs) that I would like to hit before cutting up.
