Diet for Critique

[Getinbgr]

I am 5'11" 180 llbs, 9-11% BF, ectomorph. Lifting heavy to add some mass. I used a chart posted here sometime ago to determine how many calories/protein/carbs I need to add some weight. I calculated the need of about 3300 calories per day. I am working out on a 2-1 split, and a typical daily diet is as follows. Any comments/suggestions would be much appreciated:

Meal One--Protein Shake (55 protein, 350 Cal.), 3 Waffles with butter and syrup (450 Calories), Glass of Juice (140 Calories).

Meal Two--Chicken Sandwich (450 Cal.); Protein Shake (")

Meal Three--Apple and Granola Bar

Meal Four--Frozen Pepperoni Pizza or 2 Chicken Pot Pies (780 Cal.), Protein Shake (")

Meal Five at Bedtime--Calorie/Protein Shake (800 Cal.), Frozen Fruit Bar (80 Cal.)

Ave. Dail Cal. Intake--3,900 Cal.

Take a look at the stickys in the diet forum and construct a diet from there. Pizza is not a very good choice at all, especially with sodium-laden pepperoni. You have too many protein shakes, of which you'll absorb maybe 50% of the protein taken in, and there is very little animal protein for you to grow with.

Your diet is fundamentally flawed and needs to be re-done from the ground up.

I know it's easy to eat prepared factory processed foods. They're easy and lack pretty much everything that your body needs, and they taste good too. Hydrogenated oil's and High Fructose Corn Syrup should not be a staple of your food plan. Food doesn't have to be bland to be good, there are many spices and flavorings that don't add extra sugar or salt's to our diets. Have fun with your food and it wont feel like your just trying to shove something down to get in your 6+ meals a day.
Good luck,
