Currently I'm 5"10 165 lbs. I'm fairly cut and am currently doing full body workouts with medium-high weights. I still have a little bit of fat left on body that I am slowly trying to get rid of.
With that being said here is current diet:
(Monday, Wednesday, Friday are workout days - Sprints on Tuesday, Thursday. Off days - Saturday & Sunday)
Workout Day:
Wake up - 9am - oatmeal + almonds
11 am - cereal and fruit
12 pm - Protein shake
1:30-2:30 (around the time I finish working out) - another protein shake immedietly after.
3:00-3:30 - Pasta/rice usually with chicken and veggies
5:00 yoghurt or fruit
7:00 (dinner) - usually baked potato, chicken, salad
8:00-9:00 usually snack on raisins or fruit - sometimes plain popcorn
Total of about 2000-3000 calories per day, ~150g of protein, ~50g healthy fats.
Off & Sprint days I tend to avoid carbs as much as possible. So I usually end up eating a lot of veggies and fruit on these days. On that note, I also ONLY drink water, have given up soda/alcohol completely and absolutely no junk food (chips/chocolate/cookies) etc.
-----------------------------
I have recently decided that I would like to "bulk up" more and target weight is about 180-190lbs. I am trying to find out if this diet that I am currently using is sufficient to meet these goals or if I should alter it significantly.
Thanks in advance,
Danny

I appreciate the response swanso. I realize that I contradicted myself in original post. I would like to strictly bulk up to reach target weight. And in terms of training program, I have been doing a variant of the waterbury method with medium weights for the past 4 months or so and have gotten good results. But I am considering switching to a 5 day a week 2 muscle group/day variant, just to try it out for once. I am a little hesitant about this program because as a child I was very chubby, and although I would like to get muscular and "bigger" I just don't want to look like that "fat kid" I used to be. Perhaps you can reassure me this wont happen?
And one more thing - when you mention "Solid Protein" that refers to chicken/pasta/rice/meats etc correct?
