5 meals a day whether I'm bulking or cutting, obviously the bulking meals are bigger/contain more calories.
A typical bulking day for me (not that I eat the same every day, but to give you an idea) might look like:
Breakfast:
Big bowl of cereal
Bit of fruit
Protein shake
Lunch:
Spaghetti Bolognaise
Meal 3:
Sandwich or baguette with meat
Liquid egg whites
Dinner:
Whatever mum's cooking (or a takeaway as a weekly(ish) treat)
Liquid egg whites if dinner wasn't very high in protein (all about dat IIFYM life)
Pre-bed/supper:
Big bowl of cereal
Bit of fruit
Protein shake
In case you're wondering, that's around 3500 calories a day. I need 3200ish just to maintain my average weight.
