Nutrition & Lung Health: Trying to get bigger ?

602| Wed, 19 Mar 2008 11:43:00 GMT| e_burna| Comments (2)
I'm at 6'1, 191. I've been pretty serious for about 5 months. I "ballooned" up to 215 when I was deployed and eating anything and everything. Since I have been back I wanted to get body fat down, did a decent amount of cardio and got my diet ON POINT! I lost the fat and now am trying to put on lean muscle. I've read I could expect to put on maybe a pound a week. It seems I've been stuck at this weight for a good month. I know more calories is what I need, but as it stands now I'm putting in over 200g's of protein a day, plus more than that in the carb area, plus my healthy fats. Typically my diet is something like this(per day):

6 eggs(5 whites, 1 whole egg)
banana on workout day
2 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup quick oats
40 oz skim milk
2 servings veggies(brocolli, mixed veggies, etc.)
1 can tuna
68g whey on workout day, 34 on non workout day
1/4 cup nuts
3tbs. pb
several helpings of meat, either chicken, beef, pork
2 flax oil pills(10 cal each)
2 fish oil pills(10 cal each)

That's about it. Can anyone add any suggestions to take in more calories w/out eating "sh!tty"?

It looks ok though to give you better feedback it'd be easier to see each meal i.e. Breakfast: blah blah Meal 2: blah blah if you get me. If you want to get big don't eat less on your non workout days. Replace your pwo shake calories with whole food. You grow when you're resting and also to grow you need to be in a surplus.

Here is a "generic" day for me, something like this:

Meal 1: shake-34g whey, 8-12oz skim milk, 1/2 cup oats
Meal 2: can tuna, 1/2 cup oats
Meal 3: pwo shake-34g whey, 1/2 cup quick oats, either banana or tbs honey
5g creatine
Meal 4: (ideally about an 1hr to 1 1/2 hr after pwo shake) meat(enough for usually 30-50g) along w/ 1/2 cup oats and maybe veggies
Meal 5: 6 eggs(5white, 1 whole), veggies, maybe another 1/2 oats depending
Meal 6: meat(30-50g) veggies
Meal 7: meat

Around meal 7 and later I'll take the 1/4 cup nuts as well as the 3tbs pb. Also spread out about a 3rd gall. of skim milk through the day, though not in pwo shake.
