You eat to much carbs and not enough vegetebale/fruit .
I don't know if you eat tuna/eggs each day but you should not .
Tuna has high tenacity of mercure and eggs colesterole but you can eat the white .
Some other things you can eat for proteine .
greek yogourt,cottage chease , lentille and all kind of beans .
Avocado,Olives, Olive oil , nuts , Natural peanut butter .
I like Hummus too .
Anyways you should have a ratio of 40 % proteine 40 % carbs and 20 % fat(good fat)
each meal .Each time you eat, you should always question you what will be your activity for the next 3 hour .If you go to the gym, you eat more , if not reduce your portion or take in consideration the amount of energy you will need. Slack on pasta,potatos and rice . If you want to gain mass and be lean reduce your portion of this kind of carb and eat more fruit . Ah and taking too much proteine don't do much if your body don't want it . He will take what he needs and eliminate the exedent .
You are not going to get the number of grams of carbs you need to increase mass from just fruits and vegetables. Oats, pasta, rice and potatos definitely need (and good).
Different people respond to different macro breakdowns differently, but I do actually use 40/40/20.

You knock meatheads and then compliment Ali's physique. That's like saying, "Fuck man, luxury cars like Maybachs are a waste of money. A Rolls Royce Phantom is all you need." Ali was fighting at 220 lbs, 6'3", for a BMI of ~27. Far, far from "normal," or "typical." Besides, you'd see Ali more often shirtless than shirted, making him seem even bigger - do you walk around topless in daily life too?
If you're not doing steroids, and your bodyfat is <15%, the odds that you will ever be "too big," that you'll look like a big bad meathead, even if you tried to be, are vanishingly small.
A while back, when there was a thread about this here, I asked on a bodybuilding forum if any guy, in the course of getting bigger, had ever seen his results with women get worse. No one said yes. The threat of being "too big," for the vast majority of people, is pure myth.
He's not 220 in that video. Remember that atheltes a) exagerrate height/weight b) always get quoted at that height / weight throughout their career despite fluctuations.
