    Need some serious help with diet....

    Hi, lemme start by introducing myself. I'm 19 yrs old 6'0 200lbs. I just started working out again (I used to do stupid stuff at the gym when i was like 15-17). Bench is around 300, squat around 300, and deadlift around 300. Here are my goals:

    I want to get bigger, but keep my arms and legs and everything looking tight, not flabby big. I don't necessarily want to look cut, just not flabby. My diet is just terrible. I don't eat breakfast, I have a sandwich and chips for lunch, and whatever my mom cooks for dinner, followed by junk food at night.

    I bought some whey protein and glutamine, and plan to take the protein in the morning, before my workout, and after my workout(100g total). The glut I will take before and after the workout also (10g total). I have researched the forums for a while and it looks like I need to eat 6 or so meals. But my question is pretty much what to eat.

    I've never watched what I eat, and therefore have no clue what is good or bad for me. Could you guys maybe suggest a meal plan? I know it's asking a lot, but I could really use the help, and figured this is the place to go for it.

    Thanks a bunch,
    Steve

    P.S. - I do cardio for 20 min every morning before school
    Can I borrow some muscle from you?

    1wm...there is a good meal plan in this thread which you could use to get you started. It's supposed to be for cutting, but will work equally well for gaining lean mass. You may have to adjust the portions to suit your needs. Do not worry about the supplements it mentions.

    There's another thread I'll link to as well in a minute..when I find it

    There is also a really good diet record site at fitday.com, where you can track things.
