That's the random part of it, "scoop" isn't a measurement, and no one who is changing their diet as precise as you're trying to make it seem guesstimates. Also you said you'd add "fruit", which is vague and random consider all fruit has different values. And you say rice without specifying, there are many types of rice which also have much varying values.
I've said all along i'm not huge into weightlifting, I do know that the basic muscle movements are similar to squat and leg press so, as someone who doesn't spend their life in a gym, the two blend together in my vocabulary. And you're confusing bodybuilding and powerlifting, the two really don't have much in common. You need a different diet and workout routine for both. And you're also still oversimplifying things. Powerlifters need to take in as many calories as they can get down, so yes a food like penut butter that has a high calorie content per volume could be used. There are even power lifters that couldn't give a shit about overall body conditioning and don't pay attention to fat, sugars ect. And that's where your retarded diet suggestions come in and could be used as they are, though in that case your ingredients could be substituted for just about anything, as the sheer volume of what that powerlifter eats per day takes care of the nutrients needed. But there are also powerlifters, like my brother, who laboriously create a diet that both maximizes their bodies ability to gain muscle mass (as close as they can come to it at any rate) and limits the side effects of the normal powerlifting eatathon such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugars, liver enzymes ect. In these cases, and I already pointed out that this was the case with my brother as i've stated that he's a health nut that counts every calorie, you cannot simply add in food off the top of your head and have it all come out even. If the diet needs to be changed, the ENTIRE diet needs to be changed to accomodate the changes that are needed. But you seem to be confusing powerlifters to bodybuilders and still don't completely have a full grasp on what you're talking about. Even moreso than the most finiky powerlifter, a bodybuilder will count and measure every calorie and nutritional value, again it would take a major stroke of luck for those "measurments" of yours to have come out even to the energy being burned with your workout routine. And if they don't come out dead even, they're not going to be used by a bodybuilder. So again, if you did decide to become serious about lifting for whatever cause, you would need to be more accurate than a "scoop" here and 250ish calories there.The way you were acting, I assumed you " thought" you knew everything there was to know, so I just typed how I would to someone who has been living the fitness lifestyle for 10+ years, clearly we are not on the same page on any aspect of the healthy living spectrum, to me it is a lifestyle, to you well w/e. You said Salads, and protein shakes are not a commonly used thing. That is where you were wrong, then you start talking about power lifting, and how to get "strong" ? W/e I would never want to power lift, every ounce of weight I put on is for cosmetic purposes only, and somewhere in your argument you started bringing this down a path it was never meant to go. The entire point of the this argument got off pace, when you wanted to be sly and say salads and shakes don't mix, when all I Was trying to do was say chubby faced, big belly, dudes like DarkBlack who have to grow beards to make there fat round face not look so round , don't know what either of those things are, and they could mix in a salad or a protein shake and they would maybe see there you know what when they pee! Shoes of course? right?
