So I'm probably not eating >2000 calories a day.
EDIT: I'm consuming about 1500 calories a day
Breakfast: cereal, milk, yogurt, banana
Lunch: 2 slices of bread, some ham, tomatoes, lettuce, can of tuna, tub of yogurt, milk and 3 pieces of cheddar cheese.
Dinner: bowl of brown rice, meat, many vegetables (brocoli, tomatoes, lettuce, etc), a soup
Supper: milk, yogurt, some cheese and maybe some ice cream.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Lunch doesnt make me feel full at all. I want to gain some lean mass. I dont take any supplements yet...... can someone recommend me a good supplement? What is better ON whey protein 100% or should I get others?
I do take a multivitamin and fish oil.

Split it up between 5-7 Meals a day, stopping to eat every 2-4 hrs. Their are also products out there that will make you hungry throughout the day so that u can eat, but I wouldn't necessarily suggest that for a beginner right now. Just focus on eating right, eating more and working out first.
Supplements for a beginner:
Multi
Whey
Creatine

looks like you're not eating enough fats.
Chuck a few Tablespoons of Peanut Butter and a couple handfuls of almonds in there to up the Total Calories quick smart.
Fats do not make you FAT!
You don't need to eat every 2-3 hours but if you feel like you're unable to eat anymore due to fullness, try adding a high calorie shake made with milk, whey and Peanut Butter. It won't fill you up as much and will help cram in the calories.Last edited by liammccarthy; 02-03-2010 at 08:25 PM.

Whole milk is gross in my opinion, but if you can't get enough fat any other way it might work. like someone said above, nuts are very calorie dense and you can get alot of calories in just a handfull (i also find unsalted are easier to eat alot of). Try adding a few eggs a day, either scrambled or hardboiled. Also instead of "some ham" for lunch on you sandwich try a 6oz chicken breast sandwich which is delicious, has alot of protein, and is most likely way bigger than your current meal.

Add in some pb&j sandwiches.
Friendship b/w women:
A woman doesn't come home one night. The next day she tells her husband she slept over at a girlfriend's place. Her husband calls 10 of her best friends. None know anything about it.
Friendship b/w men:
A man doesn't come home one night. The next day he tells his wife he slept over at a friend's place. His wife calls 10 of the husband's best friends. 8 of them confirm he slept over, the other 2 claim he's still there.
