Thread: new to it all

I just started taking weights at school and was wondering what kind of diet to use to gain muscle mass. If possible a diet without protein powders/shakes and those. If someone can help that would be great thanks

well it could cost a lot if you want the same amount of protein without having protein shakes and you would feel like you were eating all the time,try and include in your diet

Eggs
Tuna
Chicken breast or other meats
Steak
Cottage Cheese (Natural if possible)
Oats


Oh i just found this try and prepare 6 or 7 meals making sure you have carbs,fat and protein in each meal,if you want to put on size eat ALOT and every 2-3 hours,once you have come up with a diet plan post it in this thread and it can be re-arranged
