When I was bulking I had a plan like this:
7:00 A.M. - Shake (Oatmeal, Ground Flax Seed, Natural Peanut Butter, Scoop of Whey Protein and Skim Milk)
10:00 - Low fat cheese slices (two finger rule) (grow up) w/ a Granny Smith apple
12:00 - Grilled chicken breast w/ brown rice
2:00 - Protein bar (25-30g of protein, less than 8g of sugar)
4:00 - Fat free Yogurt w/ 10-15 almonds
6:30 - Chicken breast/pork chop/lean protein w/ steamed veggies (Broccoli and Cauliflower are staples here)
At night I would snack on either another apple, or sometimes I would split a chicken breast in half and eat one half one night and the other half the next night (eating three a day can get pretty expensive). Also a casein protein shake made the cut quite a bit, good to have before bed. But not to close to bed...
On this diet I did weights 5 times a week, yoga once, and I ran for 45 minutes after every session. I did interval sprints on an incline for 30 minutes and a warm up/cool down jog for the other 15 minutes. I did a different muscle group every day, 4 exercises with 8-12 reps x 4 sets and a burn out exercise, abs every second day. With that diet and that cardio a guy who has been a stick his whole life and struggled to put on weight put on about 20-25 pounds in approximately a year. That is 20-25 pounds of the good stuff, muscle.. I could have put it on a lot faster if I didn't care what it was :P
I was actually your weight when I started, right around 165, and I ended up right around 190. Since then I have put on another 5-10 pounds, but its the bad stuff
The point of this story is that I was right around where you are, I was a guy who struggled to bulk, and even with cardio every single day I was still able to do it. Lift heavy, eat lots of protein, and interval sprints over straight up running. Targets the fat but not the muscle. Another important thing people over look is meal times. You read any health book from any doctor that knows his stuff and he will talk about the importance of regular meal times. Eat the same time every single day and your body becomes like clock work.
Also fotze is right about one thing, the older you get the easier it gets to put this on.. just the harder it is I find to make it the 'good' stuff
