Weight Gain.

**Dukkit** · 11-07-2007, 07:45 AM

hey guys,
I was seeing great results with my diet for the last two years but lately its slowed down. So I figure its time to get some help.

STATS: Age 23 6foot3 205 lbs All Natty Bodyfat-Low

Started seriously training about 2 1/2 years ago after getting over a Cocaine and prescription pill addiction. Starting weight = 160 lbs

This is the basics of what I eat. Somedays it varies but not by much.

7am: 6 egg whites. 1 cup of oats with Splenda. Banana. Cup of decaffinated Green Tea.

9am: 2 servings of cottage cheese with cup of pineapple.

11am: Chicken Breast w/ whole wheat bread.

1pm: sweet potato w/ tuna

3pm: lean ground turkey w/rice

430pm: PreWO: Weight Gainer Shake

6pm: PostWO: Fish or chicken breast w/ rice or pasta.

8pm: Cottage cheese or Milk

Along with a gallon - gallon 1/2 of water. BCAAS. Multivitamin and Glutimine.

Now I want to work on the timing of my eating. I think that may be setting me back. Also whats the best thing to eat before bed. I know I dont want carbs or fat before but I dont know if I can stomach another can of tuna. especially before bed. So any Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Now let me state that Im an Ectomorph. Im tall and skinny. Even after getting up to 205 Im still considered Skinny by my friends, so I do throw in some not so healthy foods in between the usual meals. Pizza, ice cream etc. It does not affect me in terms of fat cuz I have a very active job and high metabolism. So if anyone has advice for my sort of body.... please and thank you!!!!

One thing that helped me, In the middle of the night add a protein drink or two, I use body tech RTD (ready to drink).

Under normal circumstances that diet would be fine. However With your body type and physical job, you are going to need to eat more than other people at your weight. Try to squeeze in another 500 calories or so. Also I am just eyeballing it. We could be more accurate with total calories and macro breakdown. At bedtime have a casein shake which will give you a steady stream of protein. A little cheese with it not only adds a little more casein, but fats that will further slow digestion and make sure you have protein all night.

what is the total macros for each meal and the day?

Why dont you wanna eat fats before bedtime? This is one of the best times to get them in...

Figure out your BMR using the harris benedict formula then see how many calories you are consuming in your diet, your trying to bulk so take your BMR and add about 500 calories to that and adjust from there

also for PWO you need a fast acting protein(whey) and high glycemic carbs (simple carbs aka sugar (dextrose))
...this should keep you busy for awhile
