    Mid-morning snack
    Portion of fruit

    Lunch
    A chicken breast or turkey steak
    100g sweet potato 100g is a tiny portion of potato, go with 200g or more
    Mixed leaf salad with olive oil dressing

    Mid-afternoon snack
    1 chicken, tuna, turkey or ham sandwich with whole grain bread

    Evening meal
    Lean minced meat or turkey mince ditch the lean mince for regular, more expensive and less calories
    100g (uncooked weight) whole grain pasta
    Tomato based sauce

    Evening snack
    150-200g low fat yoghurt cottage cheese is another good option here

    I am in a similar position to yourself 6ft 2 in.
    I started eating properly just a few weeks back and have gone up 12lbs already.
    But its no good just eating,u need to lift weights in order to put on muscle rather than just fat.
    Also im using a weight gainer for the times i cant prepare a meal(optimum nutrition serious mass)i got mine in discountsupplements.ie
    Here is a good link to a decent weight training programme
