    Hi, I going to start going to the gym to really build up.

    Next week when I have 2 months free:D I'll start.

    Ok so I plan to be doing 5 days a week at 1:30-2 hrs sessions. Different body parts each day

    I am quite thin so I don't want to be losing weight but gaining big mass,so is my diet calorie intake and protein ok?

    So here it is

    changes*

    #Meal 1: 10 am ish
    Oatmeal 30-40 grams
    1 scoop of protein shake

    #Meal 2: 12 pm ish
    Banana
    Boiled egg



    #Meal 3: 2pm ish
    Small portion of pervious nights dinner
    Rice pudding pot

    #Meal 4:4pm ish
    2 scoops of portein shake
    Can of tuna

    #Meal 5: 7pm ish
    Dinner
    Dessert

    #Meal 6: 9pm ish
    Small snack but not same as dinner
    Must be a good but small meal,e.g microwave lazanga


    Thanks for any advice

    Keeping it short, I would eat more at meal 1 and 2 and try and have good carbs at every meal e.g. include oatmeal or basmati rice at meal 4. If you stick with it you'll learn as you go, but working out numbers now (calories, protein, fat etc.) is worthwhile as you can adjust things as you need to if you're not gaining weight.

    Meal one is about 250 cals - more if you use milk

    Meal two is maybe 170 or so.

    These need to be bigger. Can't really comment on the others as "dinner" doesn't give an idea of size, but generally have big portions.

    Ok thanks,

    What would you personally add to meal one and two?

    Milk, lots of milk. Ok, obviously not overboard but a litre of full fat milk a day will give you 650 ish extra calories. Also, its delicious.

    Also im no expert but i have read studies explaining how after working out for an how testosterone levels can decrease, ive been doing an hour a day and its been going great. To be honest if its taking longer your either taking to big a rest or doing to many sets/exercises. Also remember diet is 80per cent make sure to try eat good whole foods but if your trying to bulk up the odd takeaway etc shouldnt hurt, have you calculated your maintainance calories yet?

    I think you would be over doing it a lot with gym sessions at 90-120 mins 5 days a week
    Try keeping them at 40 -60 mins 4 times a week tops until you gain more strength and focus on strength training exercises
    Basically you need to be eating a lot more calories than what you are at the moment
    Eat more meat,drink more milk,you are not consuming enough protein,even try a weightgainer shake for extra cals
    I speak from experience,get your diet in order asap if your serious about it
    Good luck with it!

    Thanks for the advice, I do have weight gainer but was trying to get home food as it's expensive and runs out real quick compared to whey protein.
    I am not currently in the gym or using this diet for another week so i could get some sound advice
    :)
