Check my diet.

7:33am wake up - 30g whey, 1 slice of toast, 1 cup of tea

10:30 - Nlarge2 - scoops shake and bowl of 50g oats

12:50 - Bacon and egg burger with water

3pm - 2 slices of wholemeal toast

4:30pm 30g whey and 20g maltodextrin in Full fat milk

6:30 - full meal - say 6 cod dippers (homemade), 2 potato waffles, carrots, 1 piece of disgusting broccoli!

9:45 - Nlarge 2 shake - 2 scoops

what sort of calorie intake is that? and how much weight will that gain me per week?

VERY poor

7:33am wake up - 30g whey, 1 slice of toast, 1 cup of tea

you wake up and have 25 grams of protein and 1 slice of toast? nowhere near enough protein or carbs, and breakfast is very important.

no idea what nlarge consists of so cant comment on that but doesnt sound too promising

12:50 - Bacon and egg burger with water

what kind of burger is this, like a greasy fatty one from McD? or home made? and how many eggs? could use another source of protein isntead of bacon

3pm - 2 slices of wholemeal toast

is this your pre-workout meal? thats like...200 calories and about 30g of carbs and 10g of protein? you expect to have energy for your workout from this?

4:30pm 30g whey and 20g maltodextrin in Full fat milk

im assuming this is your PWO drink? Why full fat milk? do you want to put on fat? and not enough protein or carbs, and drink it with water.

6:30 - full meal - say 6 cod dippers (homemade), 2 potato waffles, carrots, 1 piece of disgusting broccoli!

thats more like it

so

where is the fruit? where is the veg? where is the EFA's? you should be looking to have about 40g of quality protein every 3 hours in your meals, such as chicken/beef/tuna etc and complex carbs from rice/pasta/oats etc

i would say that diet is about 2500 calories MAX and thats probably an overstatement, dont know how many calories your nlarge thing is. I dont know how much you weigh but unless you can stay the same weight eating 2000 calories a day then you will gain hardly any mass with that diet

My diet's not too bad but could do with a lot of work. Any help would be appreciated.


Breakfast - Protein shake with water and fruit corner (350Kcal/30gp/30gc)

Dinner (About an hour later) - 1/2 tin of beans on toast (250Kcal/15gp/40gc)

Pre Workout (An hour and a half before workout) - Packet of pasta (450Kcal/20gp/85gc)

Post Workout - Protein shake with water and banana (250Kcal/25gp/30gc)

Tea - Usually some kind of meat with mashed potato and vegetables. (600Kcal/40gp/50gc)

Supper - Tuna sandwiches with rabbit food (500Kcal/50gp/60gc)

Snack before bed - Protein shake with milk (500Kcal/65gp/30gc)


I usually drop the beans on toast and pasta on non workout days and have 3 poached eggs on toast and an extra protein shake instead. Not the best way to get protein but I can't be that bothered to eat on non workout days. Up to a month ago I was eating roughly 2200 calories and wasn't putting any weight on or losing any.

Poor, add some oats and 200ml orange juice.

Dinner (About an hour later) - 1/2 tin of beans on toast (250Kcal/15gp/40gc)

Poor quality protein, Have 150g chicken breast and 40-50g basmati rice

Pre Workout (An hour and a half before workout) - Packet of pasta, (450Kcal/20gp/85gc)

Add in 20g of whey

Post Workout - Protein shake with water and banana (250Kcal/25gp/30gc)

Tea - Usually some kind of meat with mashed potato and vegetables. (600Kcal/40gp/50gc)

Supper - Tuna sandwiches with rabbit food (500Kcal/50gp/60gc)

how much tuna are you having? because all the tins of tuna I have seen are about 34g protein. And by rabbit food i assume u mean salad.

In between supper and snack before bed have a handful of mixed nuts and a natural yogourt (yeovil natural yogourt from tesco is nice)

Snack before bed - Protein shake with milk (500Kcal/65gp/30gc)

Well at 2200 you are at your maintenance level then. If you want to cut reduce by 500 if you want to bulk up up by 500 and then see how it goes from there

And that must be one hell of a protein shake for 500calories, is that about 3-4 scoops? unless your having these weight gain shakes

You also need to add in another piece of fruit a day.

I'm not a great fan of oats but I can add some orange juice. Is there a decent substitute for the oats?

Poor quality protein, Have 150g chicken breast and 40-50g basmati rice

Thanks. I'll have chicken and rice a couple times a week but is there anything else you could suggest?

Add in 20g of whey

Done. Is it very important before a workout?

how much tuna are you having? because all the tins of tuna I have seen are about 34g protein.

I have a tin of tuna with four slices of bread. I think the tin's about 24gp per 100g and it's 135g drained so it's about 32gp. I also count the protein from the bread and mayonnaise.

And that must be one hell of a protein shake for 500calories, is that about 3-4 scoops? unless your having these weight gain shakes

Only two scoops. I think it's roughly 485 calories. I have it in a pint glass and I fill it up with semi-skimmed milk. Is it too much?

Thanks for your help and suggestions
