Hello everyone,

I am looking for some help from some more experienced members on nutrition and weight gain. I am currently 135 pounds at 5 foot 9. I used to be around 145 pounds about 2 years ago. I have been working out 3-4 days a week since February where I was all the way down to 125 pounds and have made some progress, but I feel I could be eating better. On a typical day I have a bowl of cereal in the morning, a peanut butter sandwich, 2-3 eggs, and a dinner consisting of meat and pasta or a mainly meat dish such as hamburgers, chicken etc. with a couple of veggies. I usually drink 2 beers and 1-2 glasses of milk a day with drinking water the rest of the day. There is usually 4-5 hours between meals.

At least 3-4 pounds of my weight gain has gone to my stomach so I certainly could be eating better and training better. I have had particular trouble building up my arms. I have had some success building muscle on my chest and legs. I recently went to a trainer and have a better workout schedule, but I feel it is not very effective due to poor diet. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
