hello tall, my goals r to gain muscle, really bulk up, my diet consists of 100g oats with raisins 4 breakfast, mid morn- tuna and cucumber wrap, then lunch, i have 4 sandwiches(beef and cucumber on wholemeal bread) yoghurt and an apple, then mid-afternoon i have ceareal bar. Dinner time i had fish pie and broccoli. That was based on todays diet, do i need to eat more?

FAT BOY

you need to add some protien at breakfast m8 eggs or whey.
try to get a minnimum of thirty to forty grams of protien with each meal . oats are good for complex carbs . you can add them to whey protien drinks .
as for skimmed milk depends on your goals . if your trying to gain mass then its all good .

what is the idea behind creatine and amino acid tabs, is it good to take them and when?

oggydon

what can i eat to get thirty to forty grams of protein per meal?

Ironclad

6 eggs for breakfast, ditch 4-5 yolks
All-whey 2xday (45g av serving), add one of these to your mid-afternoon bar
Can tuna, evening (for example), put pepper or relish on it to help it down

Bingo!

Birdseye 100% Beef quarter pounders.20g of protien in each one but an equal amount of fat aswell,its not all saturated but go steady on them,not something you'd want every day.Once a week maybe.

Steaks.The bigger the better.Average 6oz = 42g.
Chicken breast.Average 3.5oz = 30g
Most fish fillets or steaks are about 22 grams of protein for 3 ½ oz (100 grams) of cooked fish, or 6 grams per ounce.

Keep an eye on the fat in dairy though!

Tofu, ½ cup 20 grams protein.
Tofu, 1 oz, 2.3 grams

Thanks Cell.

Alot of people overlook things like Soy beans with their lunch/dinner etc.And Pumpkin seeds.They are PACKED with protein and suprisingly nice too.

I forgot to mention a tub of cottage cheese before bed if you like it that is.All my lot hate it and whine like school girls when i mention it but cottage cheese with pineapple is lush and 20g of slow grow Casein to boot.
