tired of being the small guy

My diet before was simple I ate everything and as much as possible.. which honestly wasn't enough I'm sure.

Now this is what my meals consist of.

6:30 am
Protien shake
3 hardboiled eggs (a little stressed for time in the am)

11:00
am grilled chicken or fish salad
2 peices of whole grain toast
or sometimes I dine out.

5:00
usually some sort of pasta with either chicken or fish
or steak it varies honestly.

Just a reminder, I am here for advice.. and you all know far more than I do.

Anyone have a link to an optimal diet plan?

I Sent you a pm.
 
Saying I cant eat or its hard to eat is a cop out. Im not going to get all up in your shit about it but you have to feed yourself alot more than your used to eating in order to grow. I had a friend just like you. 5'7" 130, naturally very lean low body fat. He wants to get big....I say you have to eat eat eat....He's one of the lucky ones that can eat anything and not get fat. He's full of excuses....I cant eat that much, i'll puke, i cant do it, I dont have time ect.... I said you know what my friend....GO fuck yourself then.

I'm not saying your being a whining bitch like him. You seem excited about revamping your diet. This shit isnt easy. Training isnt easy....dieting isnt easy....You gots ta eat bro or nothing is going to happen. You need to get your ass to the training forum and let those cats know your situation too and they will help you get your shit together in the gym because its likely not where it needs to be. You thought your diet was good but it was shit...no offense, honestly, but your probably wayyy off on training too. Big core lifts, deadlift, squat, bench press, dips, pull ups, ect... Dont worry about doing curls and all that shit. You know who I see doing all the curls in my gym......??? the fucking skinny guys!!!

....and yes....Stop giving GNC your money right now. all they sell is GARBAGE. Same with Vitamin Shoppe. The only supps you need right now are a kick ass multi vitamin like DX7, some BCAA's, Some post workout whey(the only time you need a shake). Some heavy duty krill or fish oil.

If you want to make a weight gainer shake stop using that mass garbage....make your own.

1 scoop casein
1 cup oats
whole milk
fruit (bannana ect)
Natural peanut butter ect...

Sky is the limit. Be creative. Eat lots of RED MEAT and SALMON!!!
 
^^ to add to the shake idea- that's a great way for u to get in like 800+ calories early on.

Peanut butter/Oats/banana/chocolate whey (I don't like the texture of casein). Those 4 ingredients go a long way man.

Make with almond milk btw
 
Prepare food ahead of time and portion it out in containers and baggies. label it and date it so you don't get rotten food. plan your meals ahead o time also. aim for 5k cals or more . when I was bulking I ate up to 7k cals. being a hard gainer focus a lot on post workout nutrition and restoring muscle glycogen via simple carbs after workout out. the 90 minute minimum is BS for a hard gainer. if you work too long you get no results. eat high protein and nice slow acting carbs. focus on compound lifts and don't do a 6day split. If you decide to add AAS just try a test only run. Get supps like a multivitamin, C, D3, Fish oil, bcaa's, and protein powder. Also find a good post workout supp. One thing I keep in my gym bag are glucose tabs. quick way to spike blood sugar during workouts.

Dude, I eat this to lose weight. And I would lose it way too fast at that. Double or MORE.
 
3 things i would recommend you invest in is a Blender, Juicer, and Processor. There are some that are 3 in 1 but I havent seen many I like. You can make alot of things with them and save time by combining ingredients and get all the calories and take less stomach space lol.
 
doing some serious calorie counting now that I'm home from the grocery store.. I'm going to pre portion everything like Jay suggested tonight if I finish my meal plan.
I will post it up tomorrow.

Thank you guys for the speedy responses and all of your imput.

and Burnthiscorpse, your right man it's what I like to call a racket... or a bs excuse. I'm going to put my foot down and put it to an end. :)
 
Both to help op and appease my own curiosity, what protein brands do you recommend?

i bet you smoking is turning you off to food too.

i have never smoked but from people i know they say when they quit smoking they put on weight fast cause they can actually taste food again. makes sense.

and your current diet i will concur, i pretty much eat in 1 meal what you eat in an entire day when I am in a bulk phase. a 4 star dinner at my favorite Italian restaurant is probably what you eat in 2 days. thats how little you are eating. keep in mind with all those shakes you are drinking that is murdering your appetite too... again I will point you to my bulker diet in my signature below
 
It is a decent view of a diet plan. However, I dont agree with no cardio at all. I do believe it should be cycled but 2-3 days of cardio and adjustments to your diet on these days would be optimal. Such as adding 1k more calories on cardio days. Matter of fact my lifting and cardio are on 2 seperate plans. Im on a 5 day split for lifting right now and i do intense cardio 3 days a week. and only have one day off of complete training which i still do some sort of activity. But I compensate it with my diet every time. Also DT download a fitness app to your phone or use it online if you dont have a smart phone. Fit day has some but i use myfitnesspal. Keep journals of lifts and check bodybuilding.com for their video trainers. Its a step by step day by day video series that you can watch daily to tell you exactly how to lay out your diet and how to train. I use them every now and then when i cycle to different training routines.
