I'm ready, or maybe not?

I'm not going to act like I know what I'm doing; I don't. Heres what I got...

25 year old male - 5'10

Started dieting in Sept; lost about 10 lbs. Started the gym on 11-17 and have been going 3 to 4 times a week. Just now started adding cardio into my workout but because of my schedule its about 30 minutes a day maybe 3 times a week.

Protein: 150g everyday from suppliments alone. My food intake consist of a descent.

Multivitamin (Centrium), Glucosomine, Vit C 500mg

Breakfast - oatmeal and sometimes an egg or two. Protein shake or water.

1st break (work) - Protein shake and an peanut oatmeal bar.

Fish Oil, Glucosomine

Lunch (work) - depends, usually chicken and potatoe or some taco bell if I go out. I sometimes mix a turkey sandwich (cheese and light mayo) w/ some peanut crackers, or maybe a tuna sandwich.

Vit C 500mg

2nd break (work) - weight gainer and peanut crackers (sometimes just a protein shake instead of weight gainer).

Red Blast before workout.

Dinner - Fish/Chicken/Roast/Steak w/ potatoes, broccoli or some type of veggie.

Multi, Fish Oil, B6, Calc/Zinc/Magnes

Ok, now. Thats about all I can do to explain my diet. Its honestly my worst part and I'm trying everyday to correct that. I've come a LONG LONG way on my diet. It was fast food EVERY day and I never ate breakfast. So.. Be easy.

My question is, I'm looking to gain more from my workouts. I would like some advice on how to do this. I'm been thinking about taking a test booster like aploaden (sp?) or something that quotes 15lbs the first month or whatever. Does it work tho? Are there any side effects?

Any advice would help on the that subject or just improving what I'm doing. Here recently I started upping my protein even a little more to make sure I get that 1.5g per lb.



Thanks

diet looks pretty good....i would try to stay away from any type of fast food......how much do you way, and what are your goals?....you should have about 1.5 grams of protein for every lb......I would stop taking centrum and switch to a multi from natures plus, Natural factors, Enzymatic therapy, or NOW.....they all make awsome multi's.....expecally Nature's Plus......make sure any multi has a DV% and over 20 vitamins and minerals....one a days usually dont cut it.

Congrats on the 10lbs.....remember its not a "diet" its a "lifestyle change".

I'm 176 now. My goal when I first started was to be 185-190 by May. The more I work out the more I see that my goal wasn't as easy as I thought. I'll do just about anything to reach my goal... Just need help.

Yeah, I've cut fast food completely except for maybe a grilled chicken sandwich or a couple beefnpot burritos from taco bell once in awhile.

I'm trying to gain weight but I do want definition. Not exactly look like I'm holding a ton of water.
