can you start a thread and put down what you are eating each day for a week? I'll karma you up big time if you do.Scotsman said:Eat more. Especially red meat. You need dense calories to gain weight and a lot of them. I am 6'2" also and 310, and 27 years old, so I have to constantly eat or I lose weight super fast.
Cheers,

Lestat said:thanks for the feedback man.
I've bulked before and eaten a shitload, but my bodyfat sky rockets. I'm an ectomorph, putting on serious muscle is TOUGH. I train with low reps, high weight, just 3 days a week with moderate volume. I've been doing it for 3 years or so now. Gained 40lbs, 30 is muscle.. but that just puts me around 210.. how one earth do I get another 40lbs???
how tall?strangebrew said:Consistency. I was 140 lbs 3 years ago. Now I'm 207 and still gaining. I've basically eaten the same amount of food for the last 3 years, except for a few cutting phases.

help me out man... someone just needs to tell me what the fuck to eat and I'll do it....RADAR said:That diet needs some serious tweaking.
Lesat you need a gram of protein for every pound you weigh.
Plus you're not eating enough.

Gear...Lestat said:how one earth do I get another 40lbs???
.string_bean00 said:Were you eating clean, though? In that diet you posted from today, you had Ruffles and cookies in there. Even ectomorphs will gain fat eating a lot of that.
Same...strangebrew said:Another thing...I know a lot of people say that 2-2.5 grams per bodyweight of protein is way too much. But for me, it's the only way I make solid gains.
thanks man! I need tog et my shit on track.strangebrew said:One thing that might help, a recipe for homeade protein bars:
8 scoops whey protein from www.allthewhey.com
1 1/2 cups of peanut butter
2 cups of oatmeal.
1 cup of nonfat milk
8 tablespoons of honey
Now put the honey and peanut butter in first, then microwave them on high for 80 seconds. Then mix the oatmeal, whey and milk in with it. Mix it all up real good then paste it into a 13x9 pan. Leave overnight in the fridge and you have some delicious protein bars you can take with you anywhere. Just don't let them get too warm or they start to get kinda mushy.
uhh yeah but you forgot about all the beer you drinkawittyusername said:This is something I typed up for someone who wanted to know my diet.
Here is an average day. (not bulking or cutting)
meal 1 Lean Mass Matrix Meal replacement drink (carbs come from slow burning oats) ($1.50 each) 40P 40C
meal 2 1 can tuna mixed with 1/2 to 1 cup Old fasioned Oats and broc. (yes its gross but its cheap and easy) $.75
meal 3 45 gr designer whey pro. and 3/4 cup of oats. 30C
(cheap meal replacement $.75)
preworkout 2 scoop Designer whey and 1 scoop N-Large(45g Pr and 25 carb)($.50)
postworkout 2scoops designer whey and 1 scoop N-large and 2 scoop phosphagen XT creatine (45p and 70c) about $2
meal 6 2 grilled fresh chicken breasts 1 yam and cauliflour $2 (1hr after wkout)
meal 7 Myoplex Shake 42P 25C(withing 3 hrs after wkout)
meal 8 Glycerlene by designer (slow burning PRo) 40 grams. ($1) 1/2 cup oats 22C and broccoli
Udo's choice in morning and night.
When bulking add an extra scoop of protien to every meal I can and double up the carbs.
BTW. I know I should eat more actual food, but it is hard during the work day. I have premade shakes and meal replacement bars in my car at all times, bc I work alot on the road.
lol I had to quit drinking beer about 7 yrs ago when my metab started slowing. I got fat!!!!!!!!bran987 said:uhh yeah but you forgot about all the beer you drink

You better! What, you think your me or something?Awitty said:But, I hope to go out a little more and meet more girls this yr.

Lestat said:you are 6'2" 240lbs? How did you get that big?
I'm 6'2" 210 and struggling to maintain that weight.. i wanna put more size on my upper body.. WTF...
I do have a big frame, but unproportional. I have no V-line.biteme said:Bone structure and frame. My guess is he can hold a lot more weight than you because of his bone structure and frame. For instance, I have small calves in comparison to the rest of my body. The great 2Thick, said I would weigh 20 pds more if my calves were 2 inches bigger. Makes sense, that's 4 inches for those that have trouble with math.

strangebrew said:Another thing...I know a lot of people say that 2-2.5 grams per bodyweight of protein is way too much. But for me, it's the only way I make solid gains. I've tried dropping my protein intake while keeping my calories high, it just doesn't work for me.
biteme said:I'd be running to the bathroom all day long if I ate that much protein. That's over 400 grams a day! It's total amount of calories that you take in. I don't believe in the mega dose protein diet. Your body can only digest and use so much protein and it's nowhere near 400 gms. That's a lie by the supplement industry. The rest gets converted to glycogen or fat.
strangebrew said:Well, I've tried both ways. And it's not just a placebo effect either. More protein = better gains for me.
biteme said:Eating the same amount of calories? Doesn't work for me. There's no science backing it up. Science says what I already said. Just makes me have gas and go to the bathroom all day. LOL If it works for you, maybe there's something to it that they are missing. Are you positive it's the extra protein? How much protein were you eating before? calories the same?
biteme said:Jesus, how do you people find the time to eat 8 times a day? Last I read, you have to wait at least 2 to 3 hours between meals for the nutrients to get absorbed? Why not just eat 4 bigger meals?
Lestat said:i like radars post.. but I can't imagine eating 2 fish dinners per day.. plus a couple turkey burgers.. all after lunch and before bedtime snack. Maybe that is why I am destined to be lean.
yeah when I am bulking I take a shit 3 times a day... it seems like I shit once for every 1000-1200 cals... 4500 a day would have me on the bowl almost 4 times a day!biteme said:That's my problem. I don't like to spend all day on the toilet. The more I eat, the more I have to go. Once a day is enough. LOL

nothing like waking up in the middle of the night cuz you gotta go take a grumpy.

thanks, I appreciate the help/advice.RADAR said:Lesat You do not have to eat this amount to get big..this is the plan i follow. Just get a gram of protein for every pound of body weight, add as you wish......if after 2 weeks you experience no gains, add 500 more calories
But you will need to plan
Fail to plan=plan to fail

Lestat said:thanks, I appreciate the help/advice.
biteme said:I want to be as big as Radar someday. I think he's 240-250 at 5'9" and lean. That's huge. Working on it, gonna keep trying.
RADAR said:Ahem try 280....................![]()

strangebrew said:I've tried eating only 200-250 a day, I replaced the protein with lots of oatmeal and some flax oil. Calories are always around 4500-5000. I'm just not sure how accurate some of those studies are. Most are done on your average joe and not athletes. I also think it's gonna depend on the person.
strangebrew said:I eat practically all day. I think my body has pretty much adapted to it. I get hungry really fast after eating a meal, even if it's a big one.
evansteve said:I think perhaps the bigger you get, then perhaps the higher the grams of protein per lb bodyweight ratio gets.
evansteve said:I think perhaps the bigger you get, then perhaps the higher the grams of protein per lb bodyweight ratio gets.
I used to be like this too. I would get hungry every 1.5 hours, and it would suck cuz my meals were like 2.5 hours apart on average.
lately though I've fallen back into the 3-4 meal per day bullshit routine though. I need to get it back up to 6 again.
biteme said:I fail to see the reasoning behind this. I remember reading that eating meals that close together would disturb the digestion process and much would go to waste. Why not just eat 4 bigger meals?
The Shadow said:spreading them out allows your metabolic rate to stay redlined
biteme said:redlined? What is that? Guess I need to start reading more. I know several big ass lean athletes that only eat 3 or 4 times a day. I liked to see the scientifice evidence behind this theory of eating 8 times a day. If I really thought I could put on 20 lbs of mass by doing that, I'd give it a try, but my guess is, I'd just end up getting fatter.
awittyusername said:I can't show you the science. But, some day I will show you what I used to look like eating 3 or "diet" meals and doing cardio and lifting atleast 6 days week. Then, I can show you pics 4 months later eating 6 - 8 meals a day and only working out 3 times a week. I lost about 40 lbs of fat and gained about 10 lbs of muscle.
biteme said:You were probably eating hamburgers and crap for those 3 meals. I knew a guy who would eat 3000K in one meal. And 6 times a week is too much.
