Ok so I dont focus very intently on my diet, I know its super important but i always figured mine was fine. I don't gain weight very easily though and im at the gym 4-5 times a week.

9 am: 3 boiled eggs, 2 scoops of all greens and about 60 grams of oatmeal.
10:30 am: protein shake
11:30 am: workout
1 pm: protein shake
2 pm: Big tuna sandwich, a V8
5-6 pm: Salmon, rice and veggies. and some fish oil
11 pm: Protein shake

throughout day i will eat banana, apples or oranges....I also carry trail mix around with me all the time and snack on it if start to get hungry.
I'm a student, a pescatarian and broke as a joke, so i do what I can. any suggestions that i could throw in? thankss

Plain and simple your not eating enough. What are your stats age height weight? Activity level? You dont have any carbs pre or post workout when you NEED them. You have very little fat, only in your dinner you have fat. And you diet consists mostly of shakes, which is ok but use them as aid snacks and not meals.

Not to be mean, but that's one of the worst diets I've ever seen. You need to eat way more!!!

[sdonnell]

haha well I suppose thats why I have pretty much no fat on my body.
I'm 5"10-11 23 years old. I way 165, I used to weigh 173 when i ate meat.
Im at the gym 4-5 times a weak, and dont slack, I`m not big by anymeans, but I`m lean and muscular not bulky
I play soccer 3 times a week also.
for pre workout carbs, what should I throw in, I can easily add pasta or potato`s to a later time, but not before 11 in the morning I dont think

If you're on a tight budget. Buy canned tuna, it's cheap and it's good for you. Mix the tuna with mayo, get a lettuce leaf and put the whole on two buns. With one can of tuna, you can easily get two sandwiches. Peanut butter sandwiches is also good. I would recommend eating two more solid meals each day, one around noon and another one around 8 or 9 pm. Don't concentrate on the protein shakes too much they won't get you big if you don't eat lots of solid food. Cheers man.

I know my diet lacks, but I`m rarely home to cook aswell with school and work

For carbs in the morning anything whole wheat. Or oats is what most of us eat. As for the tuna, Id limit yourself to a few cans a month. Im rarely home too, Im a student as well. I just prepare all my food on Sunday, cook up 7 or 8 chicken breasts cut em up toss them in a container and take what I need mon-fri, along with my rice and any other meat I can pre make.

So Im going to assume, your going to need 3000cal a day to maintain your weight at your activity level. So bulk or cut add or subtract a few hundred calories (150-250, for a nice slow bulk or cut). Get your macros (carb/pro/fat) divided up and post up a new meal plan following those new macros. You can also watch those nutritional videos by Milos which would be beneficial to you.

Go to the gym 15 times a week and train like a madman, it doesn't matter if you don't fuel the body. Adding soccer makes it even worse. You're probably consuming about 1500 calories a day (rough guess).
