Looking for an eating plan

[Zosimus]

I started weight lifting about 6 weeks ago. At first, I could only do 7 pushups. Now, I'm working out 4 days a week on an upper-lower split. Two days ago, my trainer gave me a fitness test, and I did 14 pushups. However, my weight hasn't really budged off of 207 lbs. I figure my ideal weight is about 155-160 lbs. I don't want to diet because I'm trying to bulk. I figure I'm running 25-30% body fat, and I'm looking to come down to 10-15.

I figure if I were at my ideal weight, I would need about 2400 calories to maintain. I'm looking to create some sort of an eating plan that will put me at that number. Here's what I eat on a typical day.

Breakfast: Oatmeal with just enough maple syrup and cinnamon to make it palatable. I will then douse that in whole milk.
Lunch: On the run, I usually get a microwaveable meal such as the HungryMan brand. I aim for the highest protein and lowest sugar intake. The last one I ate had 39g of protein and 4g of sugar.
Dinner: Whatever my wife makes. Sometimes she makes a great meal like black beans with chicken (high protein!). Sometimes she makes pasta with a light dusting of vegetables (uhm... protein?!).

I'm hungry all the time, so I eat Granny Smith apples to try to fend that off. I never drink sugared beverages. I prefer lemon-flavored water or Diet Coke, which my work provides me for free.

I've been thinking of just buying a package of peas and microwaving it at work. I'm also trying to come up with ways to reduce the sugar content of breakfast. I have no idea how many calories I consume right now.

my first observation is that you should not be attempting to bulk while at 30% BF, when you "Bulk" with the right training and diet you will gain both muscle and fat, if your training is not correct you will gain more fat than muscle which is the opposite of what you want .

Protein - your not eating enough, at your weight and bodyfat % you need around 104 grams each day.

Calories - there are many popular sites for food tracking cronometer.com etc you need to get a better idea of the nutrients your taking in, Tracking does not have to become a permanent thing but tracking for a short time will give lots of info to work with.


You can diet without putting your muscle at big risk.

Protein. Let me see, the oatmeal is probably about 12g and the milk is another 8g. Two apples would be about 1g. The lunch, as mentioned, had 39g and my dinner is anyone's guess. There was a drumstick, a smattering of peas, and lots of pasta. Mostly inedible. I ate the drumstick and the peas and called it quits. Since the dinner was bad, I had an Ensure drink (1g sugar, 30g protein). So, I figure that's about 103g so I'm not that far off from your number. As for the calories, I'll check out the website you recommended.
