Just 1kg chicken breast? Raw or cooked weight? Skin on or off? Why not 7 days?3

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.3 -

The what now?4 -
Is it anabolic chicken or regular chicken.
Cake sandwich.
Anabolic chicken cake sandwich.4 -

I could get on board with cake sandwich, but a kilo of chicken any day, much less every day - nope.1

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.1

You really dont need a ton of protein to build muscle, ~.8 - 1.4g/lb per lbm.3 -
OP, the problem with that approach is that chicken isnt very calorie dense, so it might be a struggle to get enough calories.2

Sounds like a PSMF and a great way to create a huge calorie deficit. For bulking though, no, terrible idea.2

fry chiken or grill also getting carbs from oats and fruits and brown rice , Question is to gain weight or muscle mass if you are unable to hit macros what should you complete protein or carb intake and also wana know if eat 800 gram to 1 kg chiken breast every day with brown rice
oats fruits potato to meet carb needs then is it good ? Eating that much chiken like 800 gram is safe0 -
Why not just eat some beef or pork or whatever else as well?
Your list of food sounds very low fat.1 -

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.2 -
No, have not tried.
Pro-less planning, decisions
Con-less variety0 -

By itself? All day or one meal?0 -

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.3

I would say you need much less protein than that, if you are in a surplus. Carbs are king for building muscle, as long as you get adequate protein and associated amino acids. the numbers you put forth are more for maintaining muscle in a deficit, or building muscle in maintenance.1 -

Those are the recommendations that come from Alan Aragon and Eric Helms. But it would be interesting to see if there were any meta-analyses around this.0 -

Is that their recommendation in a surplus? or in general, or was it broken out more than just a range? Maybe the 0.8 in maintenance or a surplus and 1.4 in a deficit???0 -

Recommend protein intake for building muscle. I know that is what is recommend in Alan's book (and he goes off of Eric Helm's recommendations). But it's been awhile since I read, so I would have to validate if that was deficit, maintenance and/or bulking.

I've seen all the information he put out as advice to others compared to what he said he actually did as far as diet. He promoted all the broscience and followed almost none of it. So, I still stand by the statement that his diet (the one the OP shared, a bro diet promoted by him) wasn't what made his physique. Dude ate McDonald's all the time. He just trained hard and took appropriate cycles for how he responded.2 -

Concur. And I’ll take it a step further and say I don’t think there’s much about Zyzz to admire or emulate.
[ETA:] In regards to the OP’s question - if eating a kilo of chicken a day turns you on, go for it. Just realize that you reach a point where more protein isn’t accomplishing anything positive as far as muscle protein synthesis. Personally, I’d get sick of eating that much chicken pretty quickly.1
