It doesn't seem like you're eating enough calories/meals, but it's hard to say considering I don't know any stats about you. Mostly everything looks good to me except the sandwiches from a "burger place" you can never trust fast food and mayo is no good. Also you need some more protein in your 7:30 meal. Try to eat more real food not just rely on protein shakes if possible

[John Prophet]

what are your goals??

that 4 1/2 hr gap between meal 1 and 2 doesnt look too good.....work/school??? can you at least sneak in a meal replacement bar or shake?

[Kerpal]

Sorry, should have said, I'm 6'0, about 185 lbs, trying to gain muscle.

Yeah I have classes, that's the reason for the gap, I may try to make some protein bars for that time.

[PhreEkGarden]

i assumed that plan was not for gaining muscle

Great, you have solid protein in 2 meals. Your 5;30 and 1 am meals are the only decent ones, rest is ****. 1/2 cup oatmeal in skim milk wtf?

u only have 2 meals a day, rest is just filler.

[Kerpal]

Damn, that's still wayyy more food than I usually eat in a day.

When I first started doing this I thought the actual weight lifting would be the hardest part, but now I've found out actually working out is a breeze; it's the nutrition part that's incredibly hard.

I might just start eating 2-3 cans of tuna a day. It's cheap and it has a ton of protein. Would that be a bad idea though because of the mercury?

[Stander, Emile]

No, you won't die from mercury poisoning.

Also, 3 cans of tuna a day aren't going to make u big. You need to work out how many calories you need to eat p/day to gain size, and divide that into 5, 6, 7, 8 or however many meals you goddamn want. By meals i mean nutritious WHOLE proteins, carbs and healthy fats, not peanut butter and jelly sandwhich(that's a snack). Also oatmeal in skim milk is fukin bollocks.

Oh, and space ur meals out 2-3 hrs apart. You need protein every 2-4 hrs.

[bravo03_old]

eggs bad, steak bad, pj and jelly bad.

[Kerpal]

eggs bad, steak bad, pj and jelly bad.

Why do you say that?
