Off-season Eating!

Things are moving along well for me so far this off-season. I just returned from a week of vacation near Cancun, Mexico - eating from a buffet was a welcome break from yet another week of food prep. It was my first real vacation since I started my job at OSU and my wife and I really enjoyed our time there. My strength is slowly returning and I am looking forward to a productive semester at work. My current off-season diet looks like this:

  1. 6:00 am: 1 cup oats, whey protein, skim milk (40 / 80 / 10)
  2. 9:30 am: Egg white / whey protein / oat muffin (35 / 20 / 5)
  3. 12:00 pm: 6 oz chicken, veggies & almonds (40 / 5 / 15)
  4. 2:00 pm: Scivation Solution 5 (30 / 12 / 12)
  5. 4:00 pm: 5 oz ground beef & 1 cup rice (35 / 45 / 8)
  6. 7:00 pm: PWO shake (40 / 70 / 3)
  7. 8:00 pm: Various dinners (35 / 30 / 15)
  8. 10:00 pm: Whey & PB (30 / 5 / 16
Targeted Daily Macros: 285g Protein, 270g Carbs, 90g Fat = 3030 calories

My current weight is around 185 lbs, and I should be able to use this diet to get to 190 or 195. One change I am making this year is to incorporate cardio 3x per week. I am doing low-intensity morning cardio for about 25 minutes.
