Hey, forums. Quickly, I'd like to explain my situation. I need some feedback, both good and bad in which I'm sure there are both, as to whether or not I'm heading in the right direction here with what I'm consuming everyday; as to in between which meals should I work out or which meals need kind of switched around. Granted, I've posted here a couple days of my consumption and am new to the "diet plan" crowd.
I am in the Navy and slim and agile is their forté. While I'm not looking to get extremely huge, I am looking to gain some weight. Muscle, obviously. I weigh 160, I have hardly any fat whatsoever. I've always told myself I have fallen victim to a high metabolism, but I feel it's just the fact that I've been going about my diet in the wrong way. I did, however, go to a gym and had a work-out plan with a trainer two years ago in my senior year in high school. I went from 115 to 145. Then 145 to around 160 in boot camp. While a correct workout is key, a good diet is the lock as I've been told. Back then I was told just focus on calories period and your whey because I was so skinny. :P I also realize that not everything is really healthy, but that's why I'm hoping you guys can help structure this up with me. Thank you very much for taking the time to read.
I've broken my meals up to about 6 meals a day. The past week has literally been about the same meal for each meal.
