Here's a sample of my current diet, I get the feeling I'm probably not taking in enough protein but I'm a tad scared to add more foods in case of adding on any fat. I also have fullfat milk with my oats, is this wise? I hope so because I can't stand semi or skimmed ;-).

Breakfast- Large bowl of oats and either turkey bacon sandwich/protein shake or scrambled eggs on wholewheat toast

10am-I normally have a large sandwich with either turkey breast or tinned tuna/salmon or smoked kippers and salad etc

12pm - Same as above

2-3pm- weight gain drink or bowl of oats and tin of tuna

5pm- Either Chicken breast/salmon/swordfish/steak with baked potato/white rice and vegatables

8pm- tuna and baked potato or turkey/chicken/beef sandwich

10pm- protein shake

Throughout the day I drink around 5-6 large glasses of water, I can't quite manage the recommended 8 yet, how the fck do people do it?lol

Any help or thoughts would be greatly appriecated, nice one :-|)

breakfast - reduce the bowl of oats a bit, make the eggs with some butter, drop the bread add in an apple

10am - cut the bread to one slice and put some mayonaise on the turkey plus eat some steamed vegeies

12 - see above

2-3 - drop the junk and have a meal

5 - add in some olive oil cut the potatoes back a tad

8 - see above

10pm - use real food and drop the junk

water
sip at the water all day around 3 ounces every 30 minutes for the first 12 hours will give you 72 ounces or about 9 of those 8 ounce glasses a day and is very easy to do.

Well, if you are trying to lean up there are better carbs than breads, rice, and potato’s.

Breakfast, if you are eating a large bowl of oats, you might be ok dropping the bread and eat some eggs or some meat or even a couple of scoops of whey in your oats.
With the whole milk, you wont need to add fats to this meal.

10:00 you can eat some fruit and some meat, chicken, fish, pork and maybe a small amount of nuts along with some fish oils (about 3 caps here).

12:00 same as above but modify the protein and carbs to something different.

2:00-3:00 maybe a can of tuna, some carrots, green beans and a small amount of nuts.
You can have some rice here if you want but if you want better nutritional values in this meal vegetables are a better choice but are not as calorie dense.

5:00 ok but drop the rice and potato and up the vegetables like broccoli and maybe have a good fat added to this like avocado.

8:00 protein and fat in this meal if you are looking to lean up. Keep the carbs lower on this last meal. Could even eat some cottage cheese.

I don’t like eating a couple of hours before bedtime. I do notice that if I take ZMA or Zinc on an empty stomach before bed is nice and helps me sleep. I also take cologine in about 8 OZ of water.

This diet is in no way perfect but you can get an idea if you want to trim up some and feel better.
I also would suggest eating some fish oils with each meal and this I feel helps more than about any other supplement I have ever taken.

Also with alot of protein you might want to eat some digestive enzymes with your meals so your digestion does not have to be overworked everyday.
