Thread: My weak diet....I NEED HELP!

well like u said....

basically eat more, more often.

And not just trash either, need protein, EFA's, lots of good carbs, and tons of veggies

Guide to Cutting, Bulking & Maintenance
Start there, lots of great info
After reading reading up make up a new diet, and post it with detail (eg. serving sizes) and some people will help ya tune it up (BTW your diet, needs alot of improvement) I have the same problem I never have an appetite, but your gotta scarf the food down ya if your want to gain size, I'm constantly bloated

well if he never has an appitite simply tellin him to eat more is not gonna work!

its like this man.. do you realise how much you are eating? what you eat in a whole day (7-8 meals worth) is what most bodybuilders eat for breakfast!, the fact you are not under 100lbs is thanks to some fucking good genetics!

easiest way to up your intake is to start drinking more protein shakes, protein at every meal, add a protein shake at breakfast will make a huge difference, if it fills you up too much then tough! you gotta get used to it! get a MRP such as met-rx too to drink at work

DON'T eat lunch out, its that shit that is filling you up all day and your not eating till late, instead make 4 tuna sanwiches and eat 2 at lunch and 2 mid afternoon, if you must eat out choose a light option

also stick to dry foods, generally they won't be as filling, cut out any greasy shit

good luck, you'll soon get used to eating more, we all have to force it in at the start

also how do you lift weights and only eat that much, you need to train a lot harder that will make you hungry

you got a similar problem that I have. I'n about a week I'm going to seriously try to bulk up, so the following recipe could be our quik and easy remedy:

1pt skim milk (about 16g protein, 170 calories)
.5-1cup oatmeal (130-260 calories, 5-10g protein)
1 bannana (varies, maybe 100 calories, 1g protein)
2 tbsp PB (about 200 calories, 7g protein)
1 scoop whey (about 100 calories, 23g protein)
(Blend)
-----------------------------------------------------
700-800 calories, 52-57g protein

yummy...not

I think I saw this somewhere on this forum, come to think of it.

i also had the same problem 2 years ago. what worked for me was to get on a schedule of eating every 3 hours no matter what. that means 2 and a half hours after my meal i was cooking or figuring out where to eat. itll be like a job. but once i got used to it it wasnt so bad.

everyone says to eat healthy, but what worked for me was to stop caring about that. to gain weight, you NEED fat. i ate chinese food like 2x a day. i gained some fat too, but when you dont have an appetite its hard to eat plain old chicken with no butter or oil on it... and im sure youd get sick of eating 4 tuna sandwiches a day. also, make sure youre getting a lot of protein in your meals if you can. but carbs are just as important! a balance of the two is best.

the reason i say dont worry about it so much, is you can always cut the fat off later. if youre like me and you dont care about food so much, losing weight will be a breeze.

drinking alcohol and whey shakes both screwed me up. id recommend trying to get down 5-6 real meals a day, and NO whey. having whey around tempted me to just have a protein shake instead of a real meal, and a real meal is about 6188737486 times better than a protein shake. it would keep me from going to the grocery store when i needed to.

well thats what worked for me. hope it helps.
