    Can i have this diet and not get fat?

    please help me. i really value you guys opinions and information and i desperately need to figure this out before i continue.
    im 5'11 151 pounds. i don't have the proper funds to go on a completely healthy diet but i would like to gain some weight and muscle.
    i burn around 2,000 calories a day(got this information from using a heart rate meter everyday for a week)
    this is my current diet

    2 glasses of milk(2 cups each glass) - 600 calories. 28g protein
    multi vitamin
    2 packs of noodles - 700 calories. 20g protein
    cheeseburger - 440 calories..17g protein
    pack of poptarts - 400 calories..10g protein
    2 glasses of milk(2 cups each glass) - 600 calories. 28g protein
    thats around 2,700 calories per day and i have intense workouts 3 days a week(8-10 reps on each excercise with heavy weights)


    the reason i ask will i get fat is because i read a story about gomad(gallon of milk a day) and how most of the weight gain is fat no matter how hard the person works out.
    my diet is no where close to gomad but there is alot of fat in my diet but this is the only way i can afford enough calories to gain weight. this is destroying my motivation because i feel like all my hard work will pay off in being fat with alot of strength.
    sure i can eat healthy but for the same price.. my calorie intake will be around 1700 at best.

    bonus question for anyone who has extra time.. since i burn over 2,000 calories a day.. what will happen if i go on a completely healthy diet at 1,700 calories per day AND i have intense workouts..i assume i would lose body fat and lose weight but gain muscle?

    Read the stickies at the top of the forum. Your diet is lacking in many many ways.

    You'd be really surprised how cheap "health food" can be.
    canned salmon and tuna and bags of broccoli and literally pennies. I can buy a week's worth of food for like 30-40$. But poptarts, really? :P

    Also, wtf are you doing to burn 2000 calories?!?! You may want to double check that. A lot of these machines and devices are horribly inaccurate.

    That's only 103g of protein. And I don't feel like adding up the fats, but i'm sure you're not getting enough of those either.

    5'11 at 150 pounds. Sounds like you're pretty skinny as it is. Maybe you are gifted with a fast metabolism. But for putting on muscle you really need to step up the diet.

    concerning your last question, its very tough to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time outside of being a complete novice but it can happen for a little while. just as it is almost impossible to gain muscle without putting on any fat, but you can keep the fat gain lowest if you put weight on very slowly, never aim for more than 1lb/week. the size of your caloric surplus determines how much weight gain will be fat vs muscle, start at barely above maintenance level and adjust as you track your weight. i assume since you mention GOMAD you are following either SS or a similar compound lift oriented program? hopefully you are(i see you mention 8-10 reps so maybe you arent, first thing would be getting on a real program that outlines progression etc. keep up with working out and you will get a feel for what it takes diet wise to make progress. also learning how to cook your own food will help you in terms of saving money and eating healthy. i love chicken and fish nowadays after finding many ways to prepare it.

    1. healthy diet is high protein , medium carbs and low fat foods.. unhealthy is lots of fat and sodium with no nutritional stuff.

    2. im tired of reading stickies. i have a specific question that im curious about.

    3. lol i kno my diet sucks... but ive gained 3 pounds in 3 weeks from it so it is working. i just dont want ALL the weight to be fat

    3. i work retail.. i basically walk around all day moving stuff around. the $200 polar heart rate meter with the strap seemed accurate from experimenting with it

    TBH that diet is lacking protein and severely deficient in micros... I would not recommend continuing with that.

    1. A healthy diet is one that helps maintain or improve general health. It is important for lowering many chronic health risks, such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and cancer.[1] A healthy diet involves consuming appropriate amounts of all essential nutrients and an adequate amount of water. Nutrients can be obtained from many different foods, so there are numerous diets that may be considered healthy. A healthy diet needs to have a balance of macronutrients (fats, proteins, and carbohydrates), calories to support energy needs, and micronutrients to meet the needs for human nutrition without inducing toxicity or excessive weight gain from consuming excessive amounts.

    2. You obviously haven't actually read through the stickies enough if you are posting diets like the one you just did. You need to post as follows:

    Weight: x
    TDEE: x
    Goal: x

    Calories: x
    Protein: x
    Fats: x
    Carbs: x

    3. Net energy balance determines weight gain/loss and macronutrient composition of those calories determine body composition. If you don't want it all to be fat, go back to the stickies, ensure nutrient sufficiency and follow a good workout routine.

    4. Okay, but work is taken into account in your TDEE.
