I can't eat at all during school except lunch. Only other meal i've had besides pre/post so far is breakfast. I'll normally have some eggs too but I didn't have time.

you need to pack around meal replacement bars and add more calories to the diet. It doesnt look like you are eating enough carbs or fruits and vegetables. Eat as much as you can, even if this involved getting up earlier in the morning to prepare breakfast. Be careful, low calorie diets usually yield little to no results in muscle growth or strength. . .fat loss now thats a different story. I also have a really busy schedule, but I eat throughout the day no matter what. Think about this.

Well I can eat 3:30PM - I sleep, So I have time to eat food.

I'm gonna have a chicken breast with oatmeal, then another chicken breast an hour later, then before I go to sleep Milk with 1 Scoop whey. Is the only reason I threw up because I just drink too much? I think I might cut down the grape juice to 10oz post and preworkout and whatever I take my whey with will be 10oz..... Because If I drink a lot of it, I feel like i'm gonna throw up.

How many calories do you think I should get? The one i'm trying to follow, in the first post, is around 3000 calories---i'm 170lbs.

I'm at a very similar weight, and I could add muscle at 3000 calories. The fat gain would be minimal at that amount too.

I eat a lot of protein bars and shakes when I'm on the go, between classes at uni and travelling to/from the place. It's the most viable option a lot of the time, and it is DEFINATELY better than not eating.

What's your diet look like? Could you post it?

And what do you guys say I should do about throwing up when I take my whey? It's a chocolate kind, really rich taste. I'm gonna try taking it with less liquid, hopefully that helps.

Are you mixing the whey with milk? If not, try that.....more calories and it may settle your stomach.

 

[bilat]

Did that in the morning, almost threw up but I held it back.

But for post and preworkout, I thought grape juice was much better.

It's terribly inconsistent! I try to base my calories around my activity level, and in particular, take most of them in after I workout. I always keep fat and carbs apart (eat P+C and P+F meals).

A sample day from last week, bulking... Hardly ideal, but then who has PERFECT days anyway?
6:30am - 2 x tuna sandwich with whole wheat bread, 1 x apple
8:30am - 4 x eggs, 2 x slices of cheese, about 20 almonds
10:30am - 1 x Protein bar
12:30pm - 2 x tuna sandwich with whole wheat bread
3:30pm - Workout
4:15pm - 100g no-fat vanilla icecream (usually throw in sugar cravings post-workout), 30g Gatorade powder mixed with 30g vanilla whey protein powder and water
6:00pm - 1 x cup of oats, 30g of whey
9:30pm - large meal of ravioli bolognaise, heaps of meat sauce

Looking back on it, a very high carb day with only one P+F meal. Usually that last meal would be P+F, but I couldn't resist the mass of leftovers from my family's dinner. Pretty average day actually!
