    Just 1kg chicken breast? Raw or cooked weight? Skin on or off? Why not 7 days?

    Why just chicken?
    Why just chicken breast?
    Why a random number of days?

    Why protein vs. carbs?
    (Protein and carbs is better.)

    Cons - sounds boring as hell.
    Pros - erm..... Can't think of anything unless you really, really like chicken breast and dislike all other foods.


    IMHO one of the benefits of bulking should be more dietary freedom so really not seeing the point.

    Is it anabolic chicken or regular chicken.

    Cake sandwich.

    Anabolic chicken cake sandwich.

    I could get on board with cake sandwich, but a kilo of chicken any day, much less every day - nope.

    If you want to bulk up you need lots of protein but no matter what you still need carbs. Your muscle depend on them, sure you need protein for building them but with no carbs you will not have results.

    You really dont need a ton of protein to build muscle, ~.8 - 1.4g/lb per lbm.

    OP, the problem with that approach is that chicken isnt very calorie dense, so it might be a struggle to get enough calories.

    Sounds like a PSMF and a great way to create a huge calorie deficit. For bulking though, no, terrible idea.

    Why not just eat some beef or pork or whatever else as well?

    Your list of food sounds very low fat.

    If that's the question, you should have asked that in the first place!

    Just eating chicken sounds boring - I guess if it's cheap and easy, and that's what you want, it's fine. I'd definitely add some fat sources to your diet. And vegetables.

    1kg is over 2 lbs, which is 8 times the normal 4 oz serving size for meat!! That seems somewhat unbalanced, but I can't say anything bad would happen to you.

    No, have not tried.

    By itself? All day or one meal?

    I don't see any problem w/it as long as you enjoy eating that much chicken everyday.

    1kg of grilled chicken breast works out to about 1000 cals, 200g protein and 20g fat.

    Depending on your size, that should take care of all of your protein requirements for the day.

    Just eat whatever carbs and fats w/in your cal & macro limits that you like best to make up the rest of your day's meals.

    I'm just going to say that following Zyzz's diet isn't going to get you far. His physique didn't come from his diet, it came from massive amounts of steroids.

    For someone so well respected and knowledgeable that is a very short sighted and non-factual statement.
