    you could add glass of milk to each meal and maybe some more eggs at breakfast and lunch?

    Too many reps and for someone that has been going to the gym for two months you should be lifting more weight by now. Definitely recommend starting strength, I started it 3 months ago and made great progress on it. I'd also recommend getting the starting strength book instead of relying on that site only as it has a massive amount of information in it and will describe how to do each lift properly in detail.

    You're diet needs alot more protein with a little bit in each meal. Not sure of recommendations for vegetarians but look around and you will find plenty of food and recipes.

    Thanks, Will get the book

    Yup i will have a look at more ideas to increase protien into my meals.

    Maby taking a whey shake or 2 might be a good idea

    Some simple options would be to replace the toast in the morning with an egg and two slices of wholemeal bread with Vegemite, if the OP likes it.

    At lunch where there seem to be too many simple carbs, add in two spoonfuls of peanut butter and a piece of fruit. If there are dark green veg in that salad, eat an orange at the same time to help the Iron and B vitamins absorb properly.

    Dinner: if stuck for protein, cook up some tofu and flavour it nice so you will be willing to have it again.

    Hopefully that'll help the OP out, while giving you some info to use should you need to :)

    Oh OP, you should find some suitable protein online that has no animal derivatives in it, and if worst comes to worst...drop into Holland & Barrett! they might be a bit more expensive, but it'll be what you need.

    Will cut the toast out, usually wouldnt have any but when rushing its a handy alternative

    I was thinking there was a lot of carbs in it, will try out the penut butter next time, thanks for the tip about the orange.

    Dinner: if stuck for protein, cook up some tofu and flavour it nice so you will be willing to have it again.

    Yup tofu wouldnt be my favourit of things but im sure i could manage it twice a week. Quron is handy as well.

    Dont mind animal derivatives really its just general meet i dont like.

    Thanks again for the information.
