Thread: i'm stuck

you need to get some carbis in there dude....brown rice, oatmeal, sweet potatoes.....and just eat more if you want to be heavier.....

k thanks

your not eating enough quality foods.

-switch the bread and butter in meal 1 for some oatmeal(old fashioned kind). rather than 5 whole eggs, cut back to say 2 and add in more egg whites.
-add some complex carbs and healthy fats with that protein shake (meal 2)
-at lunch is the bread 100% whole wheat or whole grain? is the jam sugar free? you could swap that bread for some whole wheat pasta or brown rice(more calorie dense).
-again in that afternoon snack add in some complex carbs and healthy fats. You could also make your shake with milk too.
-dinner could use some more complex carbs, healthy fats and dont forget your vegetables!!

how late is your dinner before bed? You could add in a pre-bed meal of cottage cheese and healthy fats (peanut butter goes great with it).

hey, great feedback atherjen...thanks



i could probably stuff a snack down before bed time...I usually have to stuff all my meals down...
Any tips to increase my appetite?

Personal Info.

Height: 6'0"
Weight: 165
Age: 24
Body Fat: 5%-10%...i'm pretty skinny

My diet is very inconsistent...but here is a good day

Breakfast: 5 whole eggs. cup of milk. 2 pieces of bread w/real butter. banana

snack: Protein shake or meal replacement bar

Lunch: Can of tuna w/mustard, a fruit of some kind, PBJ sandwich

snack: Protein shake or meal replacement bar

Dinner: Steak or ground beef, 1 cup of milk, fruit

I need a diet for my skinny @ss
That?s kind of vague, but I?m kind of new when it comes to diets so I really couldn?t give you much more info.

consistancy is the key to making optimum gains in this sport...eating good a couple of days here and there isn't going to get you very far...
