Right, Ive been reading quite a bit of the threads on this forum since joining recently and have been trying to come up with a diet to gain weight. Some of you may have seen my original thread which basically shows I don't eat enough (especially lunch time) and am lacking protein.

I have come up with a diet which I think is realistic me for me to stick to. Please can you give your opinions on it and tell me if I should change anything

7:30am - Porridge possibly with some whey in (I realise that's not a lot for breakfast but I tend to struggle to eat more than a bowl of cereal in the morning and by 10am-ish I am starving! Haha.)

10:30am-11:00am - Shake or protein bar

1:30pm - Tuna and pasta, or Chicken and pasta/rice, or Baked potato with tuna and beans. Followed by some fruit.

3:30pm - Shake or protein bar

5:30pm-6:00pm - Chicken fillet with rice

7:30pm-8:00pm - Whatever I get for dinner lol

Training will also obviously be added to the scechule.

Your biggest meals should be breakfast and post work out.
So no i dont like it.

Need protein in your first meal...

Need to have something at the end of the night with caisen for slow protein release...Cottage cheese works great for this

Take a look at my journal...it's a slow go for the first couple of pages but you will see where it's taken me...Not perfect by anymeans but it works for me...happy to share with you...the later diet in my journal has really seemed to work...Cheers

Mrdaveyk

stick in your training times buddy so we know which meals you should work on

up the breakfast abit, i stick some whey in with my porridge along with a banana for an energy kick

ive been where you are, i couldnt touch food in the morning bar a slice of toast, force it down and within a day or two yourll get it going and yourll actually want the food

plus ive read somewhere a high protein diet increase metabolism by 30% (high fiber is 15% and fats is like 2%) so when you start this high protein at first its going to be hard, but once the metabolism gets going yourll be looking for food all the time, like i am now

gonna get me some cottage cheese now along with a shake, cheers cellaratt, i didnt know what to have hehe

Training time will be after work about 6pm .. so obviously the planned diet would have to change on those days. It's all so damn confusing at the moment trying to figure out what's best to do lol.

So eating more breakfast gets easier then? I will definitely give it a go.

Slightly off topic, but what do you think of this weight bench and weights package - http://www.connection-fitness.co.uk/...740/index.aspx - I really need some equipment at home!
