    My schedule isn't ideal. I train at 7:30 pm and don't start BL until 9:30pm. I'm an assistant manager and get constant questions from my team members and have to do a lot of approvals so I'm thinking I have to start using shakes. My goal is to get as strong as possible while trimming fat. I don't care if I gain weight as long as it's quality weight. Current stats are 5'8'' about 18% bf if I had to guess. Bench 315, squat 415, dead 425.Training dayswake 8-8:30 am shake with 20-25 grams protein and 6 strips of bacon. Be at work by 10:00 am.Lunch 2:00-3:00 pm 8 oz chicken or lean beef and 2.5 grams fish oil.train 7:30 pm - power lifting (train 4 days a week)9:30 pwo shake 50 grams protein 40 grams gi carbs.11:00 pm 50 grams protein and about 200 grams carbs. chick/beef/white rice/potato's/donuts etc.go to bed at 12 or 1 am.My off days are almost the same except instead of the shake in the morning I just have coffee and just protein and fats all day.

    Good numbers brotha - what is your weight? Too much protein in your first meal.  Typically its good to spike triglycerides in the a.m with coconut oil/MCT oil to keep ketone production going, so i would invest in that right away.. next meal do your Bacon... skip the shake unless you can match every gram of protein with a gram of fat... a 1:1 ratio.  your lunch meal also too low in fat... you need to get regular ground beef... the kind with 22-28 g of fat per 4oz.  In general your fat needs to go up At LEAST equal to protein. That's part of the main framework of CBL. CHEERS!

    Current weight goes from 205-207lbs. So I should just do the shake with the coconut oil when waking up? And then just wait till lunch and have 80/20 beef in the salad?

    i would do 1-2tbsp of coconut oil and about 10-15g protein max.    Also if your going to do the lean meat in the salad you better drown it in dressing that contains little to no carbohydrates.since your more concerned with bulking, i would do the bacon that you talked about around 10:30 - 11:00.  I am not a fan of going longer than 4 hours without eating, when trying to increase lean body weight.  The only exception is the coconut oil/MCT during the waking hours of the day, of course.

    yeah, given your schedule the options are limited.Just be sure you hit the carbs hard Post-Workout - You may want to even pick up dextrose powder or something like that to drink while your slamming pizza/potatoes/rice or whatever.  Also, done be afraid to eat some fat (like pizza) - just try to keep the protein higher than the fat at night with your carb meals.just wanted to add: I would give yourself AT LEAST an hour between completing your last meal and going to sleep so you don't interrupt those GH signals - Let me know if you have any appetite issues. (e.g. not hungry enough after lifting)
