Reply With QuoteIf you can't get the cals in then you wont really grow...as for the routine the only thing I could think of is keeping it low volume until you find the time to add some more cals in. Taking to heavy of a workload and not enough cals in will do more harm then help.

Have A Question
My routine is Mon, Wed, Fri. Chest/tri, legs/shoulders, back/biceps. One muscle group a week. I'm trying to put on some mass but I just can not get the 4-6 meals or protein in that I need due to work and family. Since I am having trouble doing this should I change my routine or keep it the same? Or should I work two muscle groups a week since I can not get the meals and protein in?

I have never understood not being able to get enough food eaten in a day. I am new to lifting (< year), but nailing down my diet was my first priority. I am in law enforcement (work variety of shifts, long hours) and have a family. When it comes to eating I have it best to keep it simple. For example, one large can of tuna (5 svng size) nets 300 calories (65 grams of protein, 2.5 grams of fat, 0 grams of carbs). Throw in a piece of fruit, it makes a quick and easy lunch loaded with protein.
I think when it comes down to eating well and in sufficient quantities planning must be your first priority.

yes planning is the key. I don't have time to spend an hour in the kitchen every morning preparing meals but I do spend 20 min or so at night (which isn't much) gathering the bits and pieces for my meals (shakes / fruit / wm bread / chicken breast / veges where I can / tuna / etc etc.
When I have more time (days off etc) I put more effort into the prep.
It takes forward thinking and the discipline to prepare constantly.
My diets not great but it works for me.
