Anyone to help a brother out with diet?

[TerryTarget]

Hi ppl, i'm frustrated at the mo because of my lack of progress on my mass gain diet.

In the last eighteen months i've gone from 155lbs to 170lbs and feel much better for it, trouble is in the last six months i've plateau'd at 168-170lbs and cant seem to keep gaining, i know its my diet thats at fault cos i find it by far the hardest thing to keep eating that many calories and my training is always spot on. I'll post below my training routine and an outline of my diet and if anyone can advise on what i need to be eating and gimme idea's on how to maintain a high calorie intake (my appetite is pathetic) that would be appreciated

Training
Tuesday - Overhead press 4 X 8-12 reps
               Barbell curl 4X8-12 reps

Thursday - Bench Press 4X8-12 reps
                Dumbell flyes 4X8-12 reps
                Push ups - untill failure

Saturday - Squat 4X12-15 reps
                Deadlift 4X8-12 reps

Diet
Morning - One scoop of whey and 50grams of Oatmeal (big bowl)

Lunch - Large chicken breast and pasta

Evenin1 - Whole tin tuna and baked potatoe

Evening2 - Four egg omelette on 2 slices brown toast

Bedtime - One scoop of whey in milk

All this adds upto about 170 grams of protein, not sure about carbs tho

Any ideas appreciated

im not giving you a whole new diet... but... here... make these changes to you current diet...




change the first meal to a scoop and a half. throw some peanut butter into that protein shake.

a lunch make your pasta with ground beef tomato sauce and olives

at evening 1 eat two cans of tuna and put some cheese on your potatoe

at evening two make it 6 egg omelet with cheese and three pieces of toast

bedtimes change to a scoop and a half. throw some peanut butter into that protein shake.




you should definitely start gaining again.



also, when do you workout? have some whey protein before and after, and drink some gatorade or powerade or fruit juice while you train.

6 egg omelet! I thought i was pushing it with 4 haha!

I always train in the evenings (only time i can really)

I'm gonna buy a bulking powder too i think, the calorie surplus is too hard to come by from eating and i cant go to work and fart all day haha!

based on my experience.. be careful of the weight gainer powders just full of maltodextrin and fillers. It will make you heavier but in all the wrong areas..Don't get obsessed with scale weight, rely more on how you feel and how you look in the mirror. You might also want to consider supplementing with l-glutamine which will help with protein synthesis and recovery...g/l

Definitely add more (good) fats (nuts & oils).  Certainly could use something green in there  , but with the low appetite, that might be hard to do.  At least take a multi to help out in the nutritional arena.  And BTW~  50g of oatmeal isn't really that much 

marijuana

Since that has recently been strongly linked to testicular cancer, that's probably not the best advice.
