Added some obvious changes above in red - I don't eat corned beef so I've no idea on the nutritional value, but I'd bet it wasn't that great.

Which are your Pre and Post workout meals?

I'd use oats rather than Maltro for my shakes...

How does it compare to your old diet? Its only 6 meals so you may need an extra meal if you are still struggling

Corned beef is a poor choice - poor quality meat and far too many nasty additives.

Agree with Tall,oats much better choice

and dont forget your efa's.

Ahh that could be the reason you aint growing then.

Is it a physical job you are doing? If so you need to eat more.

Fats in your shakes would be the easiest way - can you add in a shake while you work?

Fairly physical, could possibly slip another shake in at work. I am one of these people that could eat anything and not put on weight. Put me on that Mac Donalds super size me diet and I still wouldnt put on nothing ha ha

Are you getting stronger week by week mate?

Its possible you need a change in routine to promote more muscle hypertrophy (growth) as opposed to just getting strength increases?

I think it is purely down to increasing food intake, my routein hits all the right spots and I change it fairly regularly to keep my muscles guessing. I train with a maximum of 1 minute 30 secs between sets so keeping the muscles under constant pressure. (apart from on the deadlift. I will definatley stic more oats into the diet, that seems an easy and quick change for starters.

Breakfast
Cup of oats - Make sure this is at least 100g
1 scoop of semi skimmed milk powder in semi skimmed milk
1 banana
Eggs - lots of.

Snack
1 wholemeal roll with 100g of lean corned beef - Chicken Sandwich would be a much better choice. Adding Rice would be better still.
Protein shake with milk 1 scoop protein 2 scoops Maltodextrin
I'm guessing you're making your own mass gainer here? I'd give oats a a try and see how you get on. Add 15g of peanut butter
1 banana

Lunch
Homemade chicken casserole with potato sweet potato and carrots
Yoghurt
1 Apple
Make sure you are getting a full chicken breast here

Snack
Go with the same as suggested ealier.

Dinner
2 chicken breast
potatos - I'd go with sweet spud or rice.
veg - Dark green fibrous veg

Snack
More eggs - with toast if you want carbs. I guess this is before bed? Do you like cottage cheese?

When do you train? What is your Post Workout Nutrition?

Food amounts would be very useful.
