[King Fu]

Well im going to give getting a diet sorted another shot. Need to bulk, and bulk alot. Im currently quite abit underweight for my height.

I'll need to take the food to work with me, so will have to pre papare two meals i should think. Would love some help..heres what im thinking so far:

9am - porridge
1 cup of tea
scrambled eggs on 2 slices of toast

11am 1 pint of full fat milk, need a meal here!

1pm 1 pint of full fat milk and banana, 2 chicken breast and rice

4pm 1 pint of full fat milk, banana and need another meal here

8pm whatever mother cooks, normally v. healthy, meat and vegitibals

10.30pm porridge, cottage cheese


Also i should note ill have to eat meal 11am and 4pm at my desk in a office

i think a good high protein diet is what you need

dont bother trying to stick to a day in day out diet it wont happen, just aim high say 300g of protein without avoiding carbs, and if you achieve that you get to eat whatever else you like

i do that at the moment (without the whatever else you like bit), much easier to stick to

[King Fu]

Fred,

Thanks for the reply, i think if i had any kinda self control i could do that. but the lazy skinny guy in me would say "ah sod it, ill eat later". thats why im trying to design something i have to stick to, day in, day out. persistance is something i must aim for.

9am - porridge
1 cup of tea
scrambled eggs on 2 slices of toast

11am 1 pint of full fat milk, pasta and yogourt

1pm 1 pint of full fat milk and banana, 2 chicken breast and rice

4pm 1 pint of full fat milk, banana and need another meal here

8pm whatever mother cooks, normally v. healthy, meat and vegitibals

10.30pm porridge, cottage cheese

is this any better?

[King Fu]

made some timing changes:


8am - porridge
1 cup of tea
scrambled eggs on 2 slices of toast

10am 1 pint of full fat milk, pasta and yogourt

1pm 1 pint of full fat milk and banana, 2 chicken breast and rice

4pm 1 pint of full fat milk, banana and need another meal here

8pm whatever mother cooks, normally v. healthy, meat and vegitibals

10.30pm porridge, cottage cheese

[Fred]

ok fair enough

you need more protein @ 8am (unless you have a SHIT load of eggs), maybe put a scoop of whey in the porridge

you also need more protein @ 10am, maybe a chicken breast or a tin of tuna

[King Fu]

ok will have one scoop of whey in the porridge thanks.

hmm i cant see myself eating that much at 10am without being sick after such a large breakfast!!!

pasta, yogurt and tuna/chicken would be just too much for me :(

im trying to get something i can obtain...so i just odnt get frustrated again and give up :(

updated:

8am - porridge and scoop of whey
1 cup of tea
3 scrambled eggs on 2 slices of toast

10am 1 pint of full fat milk, pasta and yogourt

1pm 1 pint of full fat milk and banana, 2 chicken breast and rice

4pm 1 pint of full fat milk, banana and need another meal here

8pm whatever mother cooks, normally v. healthy, meat and vegitibals

10.30pm porridge, cottage cheese

[Fred]

ok, well how about drop the yoghurt and mix the pasta with the tuna/chicken perhaps with a bit of mayonnaise or similar and some veg

[King Fu]

also what yogurt do people recommend? how much?

[uk machine]

what do u do? job or student? put a scoop of whey into each pint of milk and i think your set. oh yeh get squatting, you will start to eat then baby :023: :045: :dive:

[uk machine]

also what yogurt do people recommend? how much?
the mullers are quite i think, vanilla is awesome! but the prob is i eat 3 of these at a time you might want to get big economy tubs and just shovel that down :035:

[King Fu]

im a desktop/field support technicna...well until the next week that is where my contract runs out and i become unemployed. 50% of my time im sat at my desk, 50% im crawling under desks, walking around, driving

so my exact meal times are gonna be abit off. mullers sound good!

[King Fu]

4pm 1 pint of full fat milk, banana and need another meal here

any ideas?

[uk machine]

LOL. yEH mullers are scrumptious! good luck and stick with it.may be hard for someone whos an ecto, but once you join the ranks of obesity, where im captain ;) , you wont go long with out eating cus you will get the hump. still im putting muscle/strength on quite good and doing it natural still.food=strength

from before, will this diet be a massive increase? if so just try to take it day by day. gradually start adding food, or else you will be going backwards and give it up

[bunnyluva]

My view on the 'eating for mass' topics is firstly you have to stimulate your appetite, many people say they have no appetite, but get them on a productive basic training routine and they'll be forever hungry which leaves them no option to eat more.

So looking at your routine is your first step, if you have a routine but don't feel constantly hunrgy then something is wrong with it.

The process of adding extra food to your diet is like adding weight to the bar, try to add too much, too soon and you're going to make yourself sick. Patience is the key to eating big, build up slowly, don't try to cram double the amount of food you eat in a day.

Don't eat something you don't like, you have to make the extra food enjoyable, only then will you be able to keep it up.

My fav is bacon, cheese, mayo and mustard sarnie washed down with milk.

or

Peanut butter and banana sarnie with milk.

Grated cheese can be sprinkle onto bolognese or mexican dishes to bulk up the cals, cottage cheese goes will with scrambled eggs. cook a big omlette and sprinkle it with cheese then pop it under the grill.

Don't just eat porridge, add some chopped nuts to it and/or dried fruit to bulk it up.

My sole aim is to become one of your second leiuntenants uk_machine in the fat wars! hooah!

yeah the diet will be a huge increase, my current diet is:

8am 2 slices of toast
10am 1 large bacon bagguette
1pm 1 sandwich, 2 chicken thighs, juice
7pm typical healthy evening meal

[King Fu]

thanks phil, i definatly agree with what your saying.

i'll start off abit slower and try put some things in there i do enjoy.

[Scourge]

I'm in a similar position to you mate, in that I am perennially skinny and I could quite happily not eat for a couple of days without noticing.

My current plan is simply to eat 4-5 meals a day so big that I feel like I'm going to hurl by the time I've finished. Then, when my stomach's no looking, I'll make up a big blender bomb, chug that and hope like hell it all stays down.

It's working alright so far.

9am - porridge with cineminmon
1 cup of tea
scrambled eggs on 2 slices of toast

11am 1 pint of full fat milk, pasta and yogourt (flavoured)

1pm 1 pint of full fat milk and banana, 2 chicken breast and rice

4pm 1 pint of full fat milk, banana and 1 peanut butter sandwich

8pm whatever mother cooks, normally v. healthy, meat and vegitibals

10.30pm porridge, cottage cheese

Great!! Think im almost done!

[uk machine]

seriuosly add milk and whey for breakfast and PWO. then do that for two weeks, add one in some where else,repeat.

[King Fu]

i think thats gonna be overload for me uk machine ontop of all of that!!! compared to what im eating now lol

i'll try increasing it maybe once ive got to grips with all that food! LOL

[uk machine]

ah sorry confusion here. start with your before diet, add a protein shake, made of whey and milk with breakfast, and PWO.concentrate on doing this till it becomes second nature, then add one more some where else etc, till you have worked up till that diet you have outlined, the after one, i think you wouldnt be able to do it if youtried all at once.
