There are real simple, easy, and cheap ways to improve your diet.

Super cheap meal sources: Brown Rice, Cans of tuna, Oatmeal, Eggs.

Ok, I can't think of anything else cheap actually hahaha but these are damn cheap.

Yeah, I have eaten all of things you mentioned before and I actually like it all. Hmm come to think of it I'm not so sure why I stopped really. Normally I don't eat too much junk but I have an extremely physical job and without a huge amount of calories I simply can not function, I guess I just got lazy with my diet but I'll try to fix it up some.

A couple of things i do when i was bulking where to make a beefer shake.

Milk
1 banana
4 scoops protein powder
2 tblsp peanut butter
2 scoops ice cream

I think that is what i did. If your worried about fat cut out the ice cream. I would make a huge thing of this and sip it throughout the day. At work when you don't have time to eat take a couple swigs and your getting cals and protein all day. Just make sure you finish it.

Extremely physical job...
Whole Wheat
Swiss Cheese
Turkey Breast or Chicken Breast

Two packed sandwiches can deliver those calories without the excess garbage.
Anyone can prepare these in 10 minutes and its completely good for you. You just gotta get into the habit of wanting to do it.

Hmmm, thats a good suggestion I hadn't really thought about, however since I eat around 7,000 calories a day or more two sandwhiches really wouldn't be enough.

What's your diet? 7000 a day is quite a bit!

 

[ximor]

lol, then eat more than two big guy! Drink it with your half gallon of milk Your diet is never so large that it only needs candy to help you function

 

[iggy]

7000 is way too much.
eat more meals and space them out. wake up and have a large breakfast with some protein, whole wheat bread, eggs, oatmeal and complex carbs, then eat something every 1.5 hr or 2 hrs. heres what i usually eat.
10am breakfast - oatmeal with 2 scoop of natural pb, 24g protein shake, 1 piece of whole wheat toast and two eggs
12pm - 32 almonds, 32 blueberries
130pm - workout
300pm - 24g protein shake
5pm - 24g can of albacore tuna, activa yogurt
7pm - cup of spinach and half a chicken breast
9pm - 2 cups of cottage cheese and two slices of turkey breast
11pm - 24g protein shake
drink more water throughout the day and that will make you less hungry
also eating larger meals will make it harder for you to lose bodyfat and slow down your metabolism.
make sure your form in every exercise excels also.
best of luck man!!!!

My 10yr old son eats more than that. 7k isn't too much for a lot of guys. I know ecto's that weight 205 and if they dip below 6-7k in cals they shrivel up. I also know guys at 250 that can maintain size on 2500 cals - everybody is different.

yup! Also, why tell someone who is trying to gain weight that they are eating too much and need to eat less???? WTF?

Eat as much as you can Sculelos, then eat some more buddy!!!! Keep eating and getting stronger and don't worry about a thing as long as you are progressing. You can diet down once you hit 320 lbs. Then you'll blow everyone away.

You'll look "fat" like this one day...

and after dieting for a few weeks you'll look like this...

That's Dave Gulledge. A powerlifter. He used to post here actually (dg21). He was about 320 lbs. in the first pic and about 265 (carb depleted) in the second pic. I think he's around 6 ft. tall. Benches over 700. These pics were all over the boards about 3 years ago.

Hope this inspires you Sculelos.
