And should I cut out some during my days off and days just walking?
I'm trying to gain muscle mass that I have lost over the past two years. I used to be fat 290 lbs to be exact if that helps give you an idea of my metabolism. Are my calories too high? Are my food timings right to build muscle?

There are not supposed to be raisins before my work out that is a typo.
Let's try this again the other menu had alot of over looked typos, I also moved the peanut butter to breakfast which actually balances it a little better.

My wheat bread is sprouted grain wheat bread I believe and I am working my veggies I'm gonna throw in broccoli and carrots where I can but other than fiber what are the veggies mainly for because I get all of my vitamins and minerals?
Check out the stickies, there is a document in there called shopping list. I like lots of salad greens, pepper, celery, cucumbers, green beans, asparagus, etc... More fibrous veggies, less carrots, corn and pea. Well, technically corn and peas are not veggies but I won't get into that, I think you know where I'm going with this![]()

First let me explain the drop in calories that you see here. Over the past week I followed the diet I previously posted I noticed some significant fat gain around my mid section which is supposed to indicate that I am taking in too many calories or carbs or protein so I lowered them all to see how my body reacts. I am not a hard gainer so maybe I don't need over 3000 calories because the scale has moved 10 pounds in a week but most of it is from water retention so I also lowered my sodium levels to below 3000. I took away carbs after 6pm also but my cals are lacking in that last meal will it make a difference? And I have a diet for the days that I am not working out I took the calories further down since I am not working anything off.

remove fat from PWO..
Maybe add some casein protein and fat in ur last meal so u dont go catabolic too quickly after u go to bed..
I have moved the fat out of my PWO now and I guess I could have a glass of milk before I go to bed that is good for casein right?
