i'm stuck

[thirdchance57]

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).

Any tips to increase my appetite?

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..

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...
