    I have recently started going to the gym and I got a programme made out. I am seeing improvments already but I feel that if I want to gain serious muscle I need to put on a bit more weight as I am quite skinny. I am aware that I should be eating protein but what exactly should I eat 7 days of the week in terms of real food rather than 5grams of this 9 grams to that etc... Any input much appreciated!

    Post up your diet and we'll see where you can make changes.
    I had to change my ENTIRE eating habits before I even thought about building muscle.As a result,I look and feel so much better.

    Right. Well I usually start with breakfast which is usually just a bowl of corn flakes or cereal or something. This would usually tie me over until lunch time when I eat again. I would usually eat anything at this time of day. Sometimes I would have pizza, pasta, chicken, turkey and ham, and usually some vegetables or when I am in college just a roll or something. I would also on occassion eat Indian food for lunch and usually get some dish containing chicken. Then in the evening I would eat something similar again but different to what I had earlier. I may also eat chips ,eggs beans etc. I wouldn't eat the much fruit in a day but do on occassion. I probably need to eat more if I want to put on weight to build up muscle but it's hard to know where to start as I have never really thought too much about what I ate but rather just ate it!

    Thats an awful diet for somebody looking to gain muscle. You really need to look at the diet and nutrition sticky.

    rubbish diet. Sounds like your trying to gain fat not muscle!
    cut out the corn flakes / pizza / indian foofs / chips / fried eggs for a start
