I started training at 140lbs - 194cms (just under 6ft 5). I would have to eat 6000 calories a day to gain minimally and 8000 a day when on cycle. High metabolism is an excuse many use for little reason. I am now 250ish depending on water at about 10.5% right now.

You don't need to eat steak every meal. In fact once a week is enough, possibly twice. There is tuna, beans, chicken, turkey, beef and so on.

Don't take the stairs when you can take a lift, don't walk when you can drive, don't run when you can walk. Think about ways of saving calories, not burning them. Eat 4-5 times a day not 6-8.

Check out the diet forum, you will find masses of good diet food on there.

Ahhh, to be young with a high metabolism. I miss those days. Here is what you need to do.

1. Calculate your maintenance # of calories. This is the number that if you eat this much each day you will neither gain nor lose weight

Here is a site to do it: Calorie Calculator - Daily Caloric Needs

2. Once you have this number, add 1,000 to it. That is the total # of calories you want to shoot for each day.

If after a week you don't gain any weight, add 500 extra calories a day until you start gaining weight.

This this down before thinking about actual foods.

EDIT: I like CSs post better. Since you have such a high metabolism it might be best to just jump right to 6 or 8,000 calories. If you start feeling a little fat around the waist cut back a tad.

Michael Phelps actually trains hard...his diet

Between 10,000 and 12,000 calories a day....so you tell me why he's not fat and one of the "fast" athletes and not on a steroid forum?

(besides having dolphin like legs)

A he's Not lazy and trains harder than anyone else (with how many golds as proof?)

B. More horsepower (speed) requires more fuel.

Meal 2

Mixed greens

Meals 3- 5 same thing. or substitute chix for fish, turkey, beef.
substitute rice for sweet potato or other complex carb.

Post workout Protein/ carb drink

PROTEIN drink befoe bed with some olive or flax oil or fish oil.

That's a pretty good start for a diet.

I remember when I was around that age, I knew enough to be president, priminister and King. No one could talk to me cause I wouldn't allow them. Why did I need people telling me what to do if I knew everything. Almost 10 years on I realised I don't know anything

I feel you dog, then the govt shipped me away for a while, then I wised up

I wish there had been a EF when I was starting out training, dieting, and supplementing. ANNNNND cycling. Good bros with good advise. People who have been there and back. All the guys who responded to this thread know and pass along the straight shit. No BS.

Amazing how stubborn some OTHER people are....
