    Suggestions for my stats?

    Hi, I am an 18 year old male that is 5'7 and 110 pounds. I would like to gain weight and muscle. I've been working out for a while, but have not noticed much difference in my weight. I have started to monitor how much protein I eat daily now, and have purchased protein whey. I have done research around the internet and forums about what I should eat, when I should eat it and how I should workout. I am still confused because a lot of the information I am not sure would work for me, because a lot of them, people are trying to lose weight at the same time, or already into weightlifting. My benchpress currently is only 50 pounds and my bicep curl is 20 pounds for one arm. I do 3 sets of 14. Can anybody give me pointers/guidance on what I should eat, when I should eat it and how I should work out and what I should expect, because I'm really confused about if what I am doing is correct and is actually improving me. Most of the stuff I read on the internet is directed towards people that are not really light for their height or they are already weight lifting.

    My current diet plan is repeated day after day. In the mornings I eat a pack of noodles with a can of chicken. In the afternoons I eat 2 eggs and peanut butter (with celery or bread). In the evenings I eat 1-2 pieces of chicken breast (with fries or rice or pasta.) I drink a protein shake (with milk) 2 hours prior to working out and a protein shake (with water) right after working out. Also, in between meals I just grab a few mixed nuts and eat them. I workout every other day, consisting of only 3 excercises. I do my benchpresses, then biceps, then triceps.

    Does anybody know what will workout/diet changes I should do for my stats and what people my age/height are generally pushing/weighing. Thanks a lot in advance.

    the first thing you need to do is to start counting calories...
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    I'd start by reading the stickies at the top of each forum. Especially this one Guide to Cutting, Bulking & Maintenanceand this one Bulking w/ Slow Burners

    As far as workout plans I am currently using this one http://ironmagazineforums.com/showthread.php?t=31408 but there is no reason why you couldn't make up one of your own, I have for most of my training. this is the first time I've tried someone's workout ( just started 3 weeks ago)

    Just keep asking questions

    So I should focus on reaching an amount of calories before protein? Calories = more important focus in my case?

    there needs to be an appropriate balance of protein, carbs, and fats. if you have no idea what you are eating on a daily basis (total calories), you cant come up with a diet plan. that needs to come first. the stickies tell you everything you need to know.
