Have a look around the board. There is a ton of great info that you can research on here...

[tiramisu]

... I'm going to go workout and will take a look later but
1) You need a meal plan where you are consuming 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight and total caloric consumption of about 500 calories per day over your maintenance calorie load. To get a starting approximation. Try this little calculator. nutritiondata.com/tools/calories-burned. Better would be based on your food log but I'm guessing you don't have one.

Start a food log. Use Fitday.com


2) Gaining muscle requires basic heavy compound lifting, bench, squat, deadlift. Your exercise selection is piss poor. What do you have for equipment/weights and can you afford to join a gym?

Sounds good...

[dagger0609]

well, i had a old diet with all the macros , now thats the new diet

it is just a little different so based on my old diet the macros are

3300 calories
160 gr protein
450 gr carbs
45 gr fibre
40 gr fat

i will put up the macros for my new diet once i get home.


as for my workout.

i have a set of dumbells and an exercise ball..

im planning on joining the gym once i get to around 170lbs +

where's the meat ?

with that much beans, buy some of those

[dagger0609]

i dont eat red meat...
chicken and fish too pricey..

i used to eat 3 cans of tuna until i heard about mercury

but i replaced it with soy beans

[JacktheThriller]

get a protein souce in all your meals whatever meal frequency you decide 3-8 make sure u have some protein just focus on eating clean right now and dont worry so much about writing shit down. you seem fairly new so start with an abbreviated routine of major compounds, squat, deadlift, bench, overhead press these for movements broken up throughout the week will yield great strength gains and eventually mass gains as well, get Starting Strength by Ripptoe, or Brawn by Stuart McRobert as they are great starting books

[z83]

IIRC soya increase estrogen level

1 can of tuna isn't going to kill you

you should save for some chicken/porc, eggs, eggwhites, natural peanut butter

[kawikaratekid]

don't let your weight get in the way of joining the gym. you'll get to where you want to be much faster with the appropriate equipment.

[nisser]

Too little protein
Too much carbs
Too little fat
Too much damn pasta in each sitting. Look at the calorie content of 140g dry pasta.
Not every meal has protein
Avocado? WTF


If you wish to save money, stick to eggs and milk. It's cheap and high in protein.

And read up on exercising. You are so off the mark.

[tiramisu]

I see everyone has piled on while I was gone. They are all pretty much right. Try a gallon of milk and a day and eat plenty of eggs. This beans and tofu shit is just stupid, sorry.

35 pound dumbbells and a rubber ball aren't going to do shit for you. Again sorry but it's just that simple.

I've got a pretty decent home gym but it's almost certainly going to be cheaper for you to join the ymca than to buy a bench and a set of olympic weights with a bar and a power rack.

Go to this wiki and spend the next couple of days reading it.

...you have to change your mindset or you're gonna be 155 for a loong time

[CallmeB]

Get a gym membership dude. There is no way you are going to build mass with those sets of weights. PLus the bigger guys there will inspire you and push you to go harder. Also id say drop the forearm crap. And just stick to the basics.
As for your diet.. well its all already been said above!
