Something the stickies didn't answer

[dylan83301]

I have been currently lifting every third day since I was told that muscles need 72 hours to recover, true or not this is what I was told. I have been lifting for about a month and a half and have seen some pretty decent results. On the third day I would work everything uppper body wise. Biceps/Tri's, back, shoulders, chest, abs, etc. I work out for about an hour and a half and run about 2 miles on the treadmill. I have not worked legs (noob mistake I'm sure) because I have been trying work my way into a better schedule once I was able to make this work. I'm stuck and haven't seen any more recent gains. I looked at schedules on the stickies but honestly its a little overwhelming. I have been at 159 lbs and have been eating 6 small meals a day.

1 meal- Whey protein shake 24 g
2 meal- egg white omlet with ham and tomato with some wheat toast
3 meal- Muscle milk protein shake 16g
4 meal- Chicken breast with broccoli and brown rice
5 meal- Turkey cutlet with corn
6 meal- after workout 24g whey protein

I understand that I am probably making some mistakes as I'm new to this but please feel free to point out my mistakes.

do a 3 x week full body routine (yes you need to work your legs)
eat a sh*tload of food. (what you listed seems pretty bloody small in terms of calories)

Depending on the portion size, looks like you have the protein there, but you need carbs and fat. When I was your weight I was hitting 3500-4000 calories a day (300g P, 350g C, 150g F (about)). You need to eat your pasta, rice, bread, fruit, and vegetables. Learn to love to eat PB by the spoonful. Just about all of my meals include a scoop of PB at the end.
