I am putting myself on a hard gainers diet to achieve a healthy weight. I am by no means unhealthy, but at 6ft3 and 11st, i am on the slight side.
My goal is 2 stone, in as quicker time as healthy possible. The following outlines the diet ive started. I would like to know if its going to work based on the nutrition and fat/calorie content, and whether adding or changing the routine would be beneficial.
I will be doing some mild training during the week, but this is mainly for bulk abd proportioning
OK!! enough talking

(times may vary)

07:30 - Breakfast - Bowl of cornflakes in milk - 2 pieces of toast with olivio.
10:00 - snack - 1 ham sandwich - bag of crisps - milk
12:00 - Lunch - Pasta and tin of tuna (150g)
14:00 - snack - 1 ham sandwich - bag of crisps - orange juice
19:00 - Dinner - Pieces of Fish (200g) of rice or pasta - Yogurt
22:00 - snack - Bowl of cereal in milk


thats the average plan per day, and it still only just reaching over 2600cals. Alternate Fish and ham with chicken, beef etc etc with pasta, rice, or potato, cooked in olive oil if possible.

I dont really want to add any powders as im a student and money is restricted to the massive amount of food ive had to buy.
Ive also generally made my portions bigger.

This for me is a lot of food, and have found it do-able, i dont think i can eat anymore. What i want to know is if there are substitutes that would make for a better absorbtion of healthy fats, and useable energy.

Thanks
 
Not enough protein carbs or fat, your lacking in everything imo if you want to add 2 stone. Crisps? no you dont want that they are of no use to you what so ever
Doing light training isnt exaclty ideal either, you want to be in the gym with a solid routine based areound squat/deadlift/bench/.

Personally (i dont know how much u have to spend on food) i would be having (if i was bulking at your weight)

07:30 - Breakfast - Bowl of oameal in 350ml skimmed milk
- 6 Eggs (2 yellow)
- Orange Juice

10:00 - snack - Tin of tuna
- 60g Brown rice
- Piece of fruit

12:00 - Lunch - 2X Chicken Breast
- 80g Pasta
- Vegetables

14:00 - snack - Handful of nuts
- Piece of fruit
- Tin of Tuna

19:00 - Dinner - Pieces of Fish (200g)
- Rice/Pasta/jacket potato
- Vegetables
- Yogourt

20:30 - Large handful of nuts

22:00 - snack - Cottage Cheese

Protein - 220g (roughly)
Carbs - 300g
Fats - 60g

Calories - 2900

I think would be better.

The idea is not to body build as such, just to gain 2 stone, im just a bit thin. Obviously you could look at it like a body building routine, but based on what ive started to do already, theres no way in hell i could actually eat as much as uve listed. Id be sick. Im struggling as it is.

2 chicken breast and 2 tins of tuna by 12 :eek:
Appreciate the help though i will consider how i can try and manage it.
If i can start increasing and strecthing my stomach, i may be able to accomidate and use ** list.
The nuts are a good idea, not a massive fan of them mind, but im determined.

your going to need to train quite hard as well thought, i mean if your just creating a calorie suplus and not really doing anything with it your just going to add fat and look awful at least if you train you can build some muscle as well and look in good shape rather thatn just a fatty. Snacking on nuts througout the day wil really up the calories because they are very calorie dense
 
I can do some squats but i dont have a gym membership or the time, so restricted to my 60kg bar bell and a bed room. I can squat with that and do some curls, and pressups. Just loking to gain a bit of chub, at this moment i only consist of muscle and skin.
 
You'll be surprised how much more you'll be able to eat once you starting upping portion sizes and eating regularly.

Get a membership.

I dont understand why you want to add a bit of "chub" when you could train properly and add a bit of muscle?
