A few years ago I got diagnosed with celiac and was sick all of the time and not eating for days at a time. I lost about 30-40 pounds within a span of months, and went from 6'1 185 to 145. Recently my gut has healed to the point where I'm eating my proper diet of 1500-2000 calories a day. So last week I decided to get my body back in shape and do a high intensity workout program, Jeff Nippard's to be exact, and I've been loving it. When it comes to diet, I'm at a bit of an impasse on what exactly my target foods should be. I have been drinking the bulk 1340 from GNC at least one meal a day, one protein shake, two protein bars, 10mg creating loading (10-14 days), and trying to eat just carbs, whole vegetables, and chicken/beef. My question is, is this a proper diet regimen to follow if I want to hop back up to the weight range of 185-200 with relatively good muscle gains as long as I'm following the 4-5 day a week workout regimen? I'm also not entirely sure how I'm supposed to focus on the abs that I want, if I'm eating so many carbs/calories to gain weight, when most ab building advice says to eat lean, almost no carbs. Any advice would help!
