meals 2 and 3 - 4 to 6 eggs (basically I eat as many boiled eggs as I can get down. I eat the yokes from 2 rest just whites). 1/4 cup almonds, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, cup broccoli, some lettuce and 2 tbsp salad dressing
meal 4 - peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread. 2 glasses of milk
meal 5 protein shake like breakfast but water instead of milk
meal 6 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 2 tbsp peanut butter
I'm a good deal smaller than you, so you would need to eat more than this. This is about a 3000 - 3200 calorie diet with about 200 grams of protein. I'd think a guy your size and age would want to be up around 5000 calories and over 300 grams of protein. Other protein sources I use are tofu and beans w/ rice. Look into complimentary proteins. It's true that it is difficult for vegetarians to find complete proteins, but by mixing proteins they can make complete proteins. I learned about it in a book called "recipes for a small planet" that I read many years ago. Some examples are: beans w/ rice, or milk with peanuts. I believe soy is the only complete protein from a plant source.
