Hey, im 16 and im looking for help drawing up an easy to follow diet plan, I come from a big family with lots of young-ish children , so obviously my diet isnt all that good ( fish fingers, chips, occasional salad ect ) . Im still in school so my daily routine at the moment is something like this ::

Weekdays

8:00am wake up ( no breakfast )

12:20pm school dinner time ( usually something like a sausage roll )

4:00pm i get home from school and have a small meal

Weekends

12:30 a small-ish meal

4:00 another small meal

( little bits of food inbetween occasioanly )

--------------- its pretty poor really.

If anyone could help me get a more varied healthy diet for building muscles that would be great

At least you know your diet is poor, which is a good start (better than thinking it's good!) You need more protein in there, and plenty of good carbs and fats.

Chicken, tuna, meat, eggs for protein.

Oats, rice for carbs.

Flax, eggs for fats.
You need to be eating something every 2-3 hours. As for how much, that depends on your metabolism and activity level.

You need to eat first thing in the morning when you get up.

5-6 meals a day would be good.

Eat every 3 hours and never go past 5 hours without eating (which I can see you do).

Those things above will help you with stable blood sugar levels and speed up your metabolism. Also will give your muscles fuel to workout and Nutrients to rebuild them.

Drink at least a half a gallon of water a day and if you can drink more than that.

Sleep at least 8 hours a day (muscles rebuild during this time).

Ok Danny.......I know how you feel mate and coming to a forum like this was the best decision you could made!!

The below diet should fit into your daily routine fairly well

Your mom probably makes and buys your food.....dont want to upset her do we?LOL So this diet will be as cheep as poss and simple to prepare

I have made it 4 meals as it wont cause too much bother to your day

Meal 1
2-3 scrambled eggs
2 toast
butter and ketchup if required
1 pint half fat milk
1 fruit (optional)

Meal 2
can tuna or chicken breast
salad
dressing if required
olive oil
rice cakes and/or fruit

Meal 3
repeat meal 2

Meal 4
whatever mum makes but ask her to be generous with the protein

After a workout try to drink down a carton of chocolate milk straight after you finnish training
