hello people,im new to this site and although ive been lifting weights for a while now i still wouldnt really say i know why !.anyway,im on a mission for size now,im not too worried about a bodybuilders physique,cutting and all that,just want to get bigger,my actual training i feel is ok its just the nutrition side where i lack knowledge.could anyone be so kind as to give me a few tips...like i say,i want size,i think ive got a quick metabolism anyway and dont carry a lot of fat,im 6,3" and about 15 stone and am hoping to get to 17 maybe 18 stone in time.my current daily intakes are roughly as follows
Protein= 320 g
Carbs= 390G
Fats= 90g
Cals= 3600/3800
most of my food is what i consider to be healthy.ie tuna/rice/pasta/chicken.i also take 3 whey drinks per day,which is included in the figures above
my few basic questions are this.i dont seem to take in many calories,how can i do this without eating complete crap?
is it ok to take a few calorie drinks per day as well as the 3 wheys i already take to up the calories?
lastly,can anyone give me some all round advice on what/if im doing much wrong and how i can improve.thanks..Mac

Mass Gainer shakes add extra calories, lots of protein and carbs in them to keep you going.

I've heard good things about Reflex Instant Mass. There was a post somwhere about Mass Gainers.

your on the right track,

i,d say get a extra thousand calories in and split it betwween carbs fats and protein.

this should help you bulk and you should see results in 1 week, if you dont you may need more calories.

like tom says shakes are there, but tbh food is much better.

add some more eggs tuna olive oil and rice to make the extra thousand.

390g is of carbs isn't a great deal for someone your size, im only 178lb and i take in 400 - 450g of carbs when bulking. I would bump your carbs personally.

I have too agree, Add more carbs about 50-100g to start with. Also add about 30g of protein too.

Dont add any more shakes do it in good solid food. I used to use too many shakes, they are good around workouts and at breakfast but the rest of the day get your meats. Meat is digested slower and therefore not wasted.

Also oats are an easy way of adding loads of great carbs. I normally have them cold as I dont like them cooked and 100 grams is easy to eat.
