Current diet is all over the place and i have stuck to other diets in the past but not for long periods of time.

I have a good physique and would like to put on some weight whilst maintaining that.

I am aiming to get a body similar to such people like Julian McMahon, Tom Welling and the like.

They have a solid frame but don't have mass amounts of definition, but are far from skinny.

Just wondering on what i should be eating throughout the day bearing in mind that i find my metabolism forces me to eat every couple of hours.

I wake up in the morning in starvation and eating things like a sandwich for lunch does nothing whatsoever.

I like most foods apart from mass amounts of vegetables and i used to eat porridge, chicken, rice, jacket potatoes and pasta and i'm guessing these are the right things for me to eat.

Can someone set me up with a menu to work from. I have a lot of difficulty at the moment with training due to having sciatica, nerve compression syndrome and arthiritus. Obviously this effects what i can do, but i can do heavy weight training due to being prone in set positions whereas situps and pressups and the like are way out of the question.

The main problem with setting up a diet is money, so i need to try and do this on the cheap.

What kind of time frame do you think i should aim for? I once went from 8.5st to 11.5st in 4 months but obviously dropped down to 10st now.

Any more info needed, then let me know but i hope i can settle on a diet and plan to stick to.

Try something like this

Breakfast: porrage milk

mid morning: mixed nuts, banana, whey, boiled eggs

Lunch: Chicken/tuna, rice, veg

Afternoon snack: mixed nuts, apple, whey, oats

Dinner quorn(because it's cheap) veg, rice.

I'm getting around 3500kcals a day and we spend next to nothing on food. Try big bags of frozen veg It's not as good as fresh but cost less. Quorn is cheaper than most meats and full of the good stuff.

Hope this sort of helps.
 
Went to get some quorn today (crispy fillets) but it was more expensive than the chicken alternative.

Any other ideas?

Tesco usually have bags of frozen chicken at around the £4-5 mark for 600-800g. It's not as nice as the fresh stuff but it's cheap and easy.

If you're really not fussy you can get the tesco value stuff for even less, but I'm not that brave/broke yet!

They quite often have deals on them as well so just stock up on a ton of it when it's on offer. I've got about 10 bags in my freezer atm from a while ago when it was half price :D

To save money look at buying in bulk e.g. the family size packs of mince, and also freeze things so you can take advantage of deals on fresh food.

To save on time just cook a huge batch of food on one day and break it up into servings, then freeze the individual portions so you can just get it out the night before and you're ready to eat the next day!
 
If you want to put on some weight, and it needs to be cheap, go get some protein powder. Whey is ridiculously cheap per serving, is healthy as anything and you can add calories to it easily with fat/carbs in a cheap way and will help fix your problem of eating constantly, because they are easy to make, and protein fills you up more than other things so more protein in a day will make you fuller for longer aswell.
