I worked out all through highschool and a little after that.
Then I stopped working out for about 2 years, and now I’m back at it again. But this time I have tried to improve my eating habits. I have made better gains this time around, but I still seemed to hit a limit around 165 or 170.



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.

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).

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...

This just about sums it up.. Also check out the stickie Guide to Cutting, Bulking & Maintenance .. look at the bulking with slow burners.. It's working for me..

spike and lam ... thanks for the feedback

no problem...it's tough at first sticking to a diet but after a while it gets very easy. when the gains come that will motivate you even more. if you stick to a diet Mon-Fri and eat freely on the weekend you can still make good gains...
