Oatmeal bar? What is that? I'd feel safer with a fat bowl of old fashioned oats. Why fruit in preworkout shake? IIRC fructose in fruit does not cause a insulin spike - which is opposite of what you need. Post workout meal I'd eat a nice whole food meal such as chicken breats sweet potatoes with some veggies - same goes for your pre-bedtime meal. Milk is okay, but you need more than milk before you starve yourself for 8 hours!

well, ya got eating every 2-3hrs down, that's good

i'm assuming that your 2nd weight gainer(3pm) is post workout. if so, then that's good also(good post workout protein and carb amount)

Have you figured out how many total calories you're consuming? i would, just so you can have a rough number and then play with it if you don't find this working for you. for myself, that would barely be enough to maintain, so that's why I suggest counting calories for the 1st bit until u find a point where you're comfortably gaining weight(but not too quickly- there's a fine line between bulking and getting faT)

as for your 4pm meal, you could try some peanut butter, cottage cheese, maybe some yam.

looks pretty solid keep up a good training regiment and you should be set for a while.

I'm not sure how many calories that works out to, but dont know if thats enough....when I start a bulking cycle I start with 4000 cals...

heres currently roughly my daily diet right now, you may not need this many calories to gain weight, especially near the start of a bulking cycle...so might want to trim it down a little if you ate something like this, also I'd try and eat a little more than just milk before bed.....caloriesare in brackets.

Meal 1:
1/2 cup Oatmeal w/ whey (260)
scrambled eggs (300)
2 cups skim milk (170)
----
Total: (730)

Meal 2:
Chicken breast (400)
baked potato (200)
2 cups skim milk (170)
------
Total: 1500

Meal 3 (Postworkout):
Whey w/ 1/3 cup dextrose (564)
-------
Total: 2064

Meal 4:
2 tuna sandwiches,wheat bread (400)
4 cups skim milk (340)
peanut butter sandwich (180)
1 cup cottage cheese
-------
Total: 3089

Meal 5:
1 1/2 cups rices w/ green peas (400)
chicken breast (400)
1 cup broccoli (60)
--------
Total: 3949

So if thats not enuf calories, what should i have?

How about i have some peanut butter sandwichs and maybe some more oatmeal would i be fine.????

Remember im only 140 lbs!

[Zen_Lifter]

ah 140 pounds....I'd start bulking with about 3500 cals a day then....count em up and see where your sitting...at that weight i'd just make sure I was getting about 200 grams of protein. yah...oatmeals always good.

[Crazee_786]

with that veggie and flax snack, take out the flax and add some protein, maybe a can of tuna or a shake. its all good.

[BrockBoiPaul]

hey KS

first off, with your new meal plan, are you eating more than you previously use to? Its definately a solid plan for eating. But if you know ur eating more than you use to, then ur on the right path.

Generally every 2 weeks, you want to increase your diet maybe 300 calories, build yourself up slowly so you dont put on any access weight, but judging from ur b4 and after pics that I've seen, you probably have a high metabolism to begin with.

One thing I might suggest is that you try to get more protein in your body earlier in the am, like immediately when you wake up. You could in theory take ur protein shake then, and take ur eggs to school in a container maybe...just a thought...just ur body needs a fast absorbing protein source when you wake up.

I'm sure peanut butter sandwiches would be good for ur meal after your 2nd weight gainer.

So far in my bulking, I started mid/late August, i was 169 then, now i'm up to 188.5 on the scale here, and kept my bf pretty low still.

Best of luck to you!

In that 2nd post workout meal it should be high protein solid food meal with a low GI carb source that will give you exactly what your body needs.
