Hey so now im in college...i have a 19 meal a week plan plus a 325 dollar card to spend on food (and laundry). I usually go to the gym on Tuesday for shoulders- 45 minutes, thursday for back/biceps, friday for chest/triceps, legs on sunday, then back to shoulders on tuesday...im doing the workout part right, about 45-60 minutes each workout then 6-7 day rest...but what about the diet? Here is what i am eating now in college...im trying to bulk, so im eating a lot of what i eat.
MORNING: half a plate of scrambled eggs, half a plate of hash browns, 2-3 sausage patties or links, then about 2 blueberry waffles. I also try to eat a dessert in the morning so i have the rest of the day to burn it off, along with a diet pepsi.
SNACKS: I have little boxes of cereal of snacks, and cranberry oatmeal bars.
LUNCH: Usually some sort of pasta along with meat, maybe a slice of pizza or a hamburger with fries, maybe a dessert (yikes)
SNACKS: again...cranberry bars maybe
Dinner: Same as lunch, whatever the food line serves...our food line serves burgers with fries, desserts, pasta, pizza, sandwiches, fruit, meat and nasty veggies, jello, cookies, salads....I usually eat like 4-6 plates full of stuff for every meal. I also eat a protein bar after every workout, i only drink diet sodas too.
I dont do cardio in the gym, i do enough cardio going to and from classes, along with abdominal exercises first thing in the morning for 10 minutes everyday....THATS PROBABLY HOW IT WILL GO FOR THE YEAR...so thatll be my last thread for that (hopefully or else Metal V Player will kill me)..anything i should add or drop??? Thanks.
(the reason i post in so many other forums is because i want to get LOOOOTS of people's opinions.)

could u all be kind enough to tell me how long of a rest i should give each muscle? My bodybuilding housemate here in college tells me that he works each muscle every other day, but he only does 3 sets of 12 reps for each muscle...i do shoulders by itself on one day, back/biceps another, chest/triceps another day...and he told me if i do THAT, then im doing "volume" (whatever the hell he means by that) and that i should give about 5 days rest...but yeah can u be kind enough to tell me how long a rest for each muscle???

This guy knows about as much about proper nutrition as he does about politics...

Work each muscle once a week for now and you should be fine if thats what your lookin for. Align them properly so you don't work one muscle then the next day indirectly work it again.
