Hi folks, I'm a newbie here,
I'm 26, 6 feet tall and I weigh 12 stone, I have never seen the inside of a gym and my eating habits are not that healthy, I was never very well up on the nutrition side of weight training but I used to train when I was 19-20 but gave it up after a few months, I just wasn't making any progress and the aches and pains and lack of energy were just not worth it.
Basically I have a simple weights bench, barbell and two dumbells, I also have a pull up bar.
Even tho I am not Fat, I do have a pot developing and I don't drink so thats worrying.
I'm just looking for sumone who knows what they are talking about to give me some advice on a basic routine and foods to eat and what foods to avoid, I'd appreciate it.
I wanna get fit and this is the first step, Thanks for reading.

Do bench and pullups twice a week and try to eat more meat. Preferably in this order. Fish, turkey, chicken, eggs, beef, pork.

ye, like winger said, plenty of protien and you need to be eating at least 5 meals a day, 6-7 if poss. tuna and oatmeal are good aswell as what wingger suggest. plenty of carbs aswell, pasta, new potatoes and brown rice.
