In need of help and advice please

Hi there, just joined

Basically I'm fed up with being skinny and don't really know where to begin with gaining weight. I've just turned 21 yrs old, I'm 5ft8 and weigh about 9st. I'm not looking to get massive, all I want is to feel more comfortable and have clothes fit me better etc.

I eat 3 meals a day which I will list below what they normally consist of:

Breakfast: Cereal (usually rice crispies or corn flakes) and cup of tea

Lunch: Most of the time (due to being in work) I will have a bread roll with turkey or ham or cheese etc, cheese toasty, sausage bap, panini with cheese/ham (you get the idea). I also eat a bag of crisps and a chocolate bar.

Dinner: It varies from rice/pasta with chicken and various sauces, chili con carne with rice/baked potato, fish & chips, chicken curry with rice, spaghetti bolognese, lasagna etc

What would be ideal is if you could suggest what I should change & add to my diet and possibly which workouts I should do (or should that be asked in another section?)

Anyway, any suggestions or help you can give me & what possible gains I would be looking to get would be very much appreciated! :biggrin1:
