Q: mike, i bought some all wheat bagles to eat with breakfast with peanutbutter on them, along with eggs. however, i noticed each bagle has 63g of carbs each. is that too much carbs for breakfast?
im 6'4 225, and am trying to bulk as cleanly as possible. keep in mind, i eat breakfast at 6 30, and dont get to eat again til around 11 15

A: If you really want to bulk cleanly, then bagels are not the best food choice. Also, check the label/ingredients on them -- it should not mention 'white flour' at all (and chances are it does). On the positive side, if you are going to eat sub-par foods, then morning breakfast is the best time for that. However I would still replace the bagels with nice old-fashioned oatmeal, especially if you're eating more than one bagel in the morning. You can even mix that same peanut butter into oatmeal if you want (or the more traditional fruits). Make sure that the peanut butter is 'natural' by the way -- the ingredients on it should be just peanuts and maybe salt.

The other change I would make is to definitely make sure to fit another meal or at least a snack in between your breakfast and 11:15 lunch. If you absolutely cannot have a full meal, then something as simple as a handful of dry-roasted nuts or a piece of fruit or maybe a protein bar. But your goal should be to eat something (preferably a balanced meal, of course) every three hours or more often when you're trying for a good clean bulk.
