    Question My diet?

    Rite folks!
    I been doin a bit of weight training fairly focussed for approximately a year now. Up until now I haven't been overly concerned with massive muscle gains and have been fairly happy with my achievements as my main intention was to lose weight, tone up and improve my sprint as I have been playing football(soccer).

    However now i am into the summer months i would like to put on sum muscle for those big shoulder to shoulder clashes we centre halves get involved in.

    Im currently 6'1 and weigh approximately 12.5 stones (fink that 175 pounds :S)

    At present i train 4 days a week

    Monday - Chest, triceps

    Tuesday - Legs, Abs

    Thurs - Shoulders, Biceps

    Saturday - Back, Abs

    I also run approximately 4 times a week, approx 4-6miles per session.

    I realise that diet is the most important factor when attempting to gain muscle mass and have modified my diet to allow for this. I have ordered Mammoth 2500 weight gain and am currently using creatine monohydrate and have been for most of the year.

    Heres the diet i currently use (only wifout the mammoth, its DIY shakes atm), i would appreciate any help with this.

    Breakfast - 7am
    3 eggs scrambled
    2 slices toast with low fat spread
    Banana
    1 pt water

    Post Workout - 9am
    1 mammoth shake
    1 scoop creatine

    11am
    1 tin tuna (sunflower oil drained)
    2 Bananas (yup i am eric, "always alert for the call of duty")

    Lunch 2pm
    Roast Meat Sandwich (100grams meat maybe with sum rabbit food.... eugh)
    1 Apple
    1 pt Skimmed Milk

    Tea - 530pm
    2 Grilled Chicken Breasts
    4 boiled spuds (an irish favourite, we cudnt live wifout em)
    1 litre water
    1 bowl strawberries

    10pm- bedtime
    Mammoth Shake
    2 bananas

    Wot yas rekkon peeps?

    Would also appreciate any suggestions to a new workout plan as i have kinda exhausted myself of this one. I havent seen gains in months. I have considered "intensity cycling", anyone got any word on this?
    Am also considered adapting the plan into a "HIT" plan i fink its called, hope iv got it right. Anyways one of these plans that includes a single set all over body workout, working to failure 3 times a week, is wot I mean. I would appreciate any help on this.
    Thanks.

    I think you need more protein here. I would add about 3 egg whites to this as well.

    Post Workout - 9am
    1 mammoth shake
    1 scoop creatine

    Why no Essential Fatty Acids?

    11am
    1 tin tuna (sunflower oil drained)
    2 Bananas (yup i am eric, "always alert for the call of duty")

    Veggies man veggies....you know the green things Ditch one of those bananas and add some oats.

    Lunch 2pm
    Roast Meat Sandwich (100grams meat maybe with sum rabbit food.... eugh)
    1 Apple
    1 pt Skimmed Milk

    EFA's, Veggies and you need some better quality carbs in your diet

    Tea - 530pm
    2 Grilled Chicken Breasts
    4 boiled spuds (an irish favourite, we cudnt live wifout em)
    1 litre water
    1 bowl strawberries

    EFA's, VEGGIES.

    10pm- bedtime
    Mammoth Shake
    2 bananas

    Ditch the banana. How about some Cottage Cheese and natural Peanut butter instead

    Wot yas rekkon peeps?

    Your diet lacks EFA's (essential fatty acids) Veggies and quality carbs. Too much bread and too much fructose (fruit) You need more complex carbs.

    You don't have to eat the nuts.

    You should read the sticky at the top of the forum called Guide to Cutting. This will guide you in the right direction and learning what EFA's are and complex carbs

    I use ground flax seed and sardines, which contain several grams of fish oil for my omega-3 fatty acids. For other fatty acids I use olive oil, peanut butter, almond butter, and a couple of other oils that are low in saturated fat. I'm looking into getting some safflower mayo.
