hey bro, i'd starting eatin some more food, i'd waste away on your diet and im only 184,

i shoot for 400g protein daily
around 50-100g of fats
400g of carbs on workouts days
less than 100g of carbs on non workout days
plus i have good cheat day once per week

and i put on 0.5 - 1lb per week

...if you're judging by that last day, thats not what i'm eating. like i stated above, i just cut and paste other days, then change it as i go along, its easier than typing the whole frickin thing out every single day.......check Thurs. Nov 6 tonite when i'm done, then tell me what you think..............thanks bear..........

the carbs, the carbs, carbs! where are the carbs man. you sre not eating enough, not even close. your meal frequency if a good rate but you need to judt about doubel those kcals, if not more! I bte i fyou total taht up you aren't even at 3k for tha day. with what you are running you should be working your weay over 6kcals IMO. You aren' tgonna gain with the "supps" unless you eat. Shit you should be out eating Big Macs and ice cream. OK not really but EAT. you can get away with being a litl emore lax so you can get in cals while on. that is the best part about it. the only source of carbs you are getting in the first half of the dsay is a cup of oats. Start working those cals up slowly. they need to be higher. and J'bo is right, more meat! instead of 4 oz of beef, eat double that, double up on the chicken breasts to. EFA's

i'm eating about every 2 hrs, so i dont eat AS much, but i do get a decent amount of carbs......wheat bread, pb, white rice, pancakes, skiim milk, pasta, oatmeal, yams/veggies.....but i realize i gotta up them even more......i'll work on that.........

count up your totals for each day bud, you will see that you need to bump them WAAAYYY up. remember you need to take advantage of thet fact that your body is always in an anabolic state! that's what is so great about it man. eat eat eat!

I don't mean to seem like I am harping on you bro but I think you need to be eating more, specifically post workout. All I see is a shake and some gatorade. For the first two hrs after your WO you should be eating as much as possible. YOu need to be eating something high on the glycemic index as well. If you wanna gain the weight that you say you do then it ain't gonna come from no where. It takes about 3k (roundabout number, I forget the specific number) cals just for a pound of muscle or something like that. you need to be stuffing yourself after training. The food is the most important part of that weight you wanna gain, trust me on that.

yeah bro without sounding too harsh

your diet looks like something i would put an old lady on who wants to lean up.

EAT BRO, EAT

FOR EXAMPLE IM 185 AND I EAT 15 EGG WHITES AND 3 YOLKS FOR BREAKFAST.

i think you guys are looking at my daily eating before i update it. i update it as the day goes on. check today (mon the 10th) tonite when i'm all done. then give me some suggestions. thanks guys...Aj

Flex, I think it would be beneficial for you to total up you daily intake for a week or so, just to see caloric wise where you are at. That makes it easier to see where you are at and how you can go about increasing totals. I bet your protien totals are not that much more than 200 from what I can see. They should be at least at 300, at least. Remember one of the benefits of the supps you are taking is increased protien synthesis, take advantage of that for gods sake. For your shakes for instance, unless you are slamming one down every half hr or so you can bump it up from 21grms to 40 at least. Your body can absorb more than 20 grms at a time. same with the carbs. take your totals, you will be glad you did.

i'd do that, i just have no idea how much protien/carbs/fat are in chicken/steak/hamburger you know........is there somewhere that lists that shit, cuz i am very curious..........

as for the shakes, thats 21 grams from whey powder, plus at least 8 from milk, plus whatever from the peanut butter, which is about 40 total (plus 3 different sources of protein).......

Flex do your homework bro

before you try blindly and waste 6 months of your life gaining very little.

Use www.fitday.com

and if u want mass or get ripped dont eat more than 6/7 times daily and eat more - your totals are way too low, and your post workout meals are way too small - EAT EAT EAT EAT EATEATEATEATEATEATEATEATEAT

HOW MANY TIMES DO WE AND GR81 HAVE TO TELL U.
