the main error you are making is no red meat-also after a workout, you need a liquid carb source

 

[The mann]

also raise those carbs if your going mass,what were your calories before?you need to raise them accordingly so you can gain weight.............

 

[=w=]

How much do you weigh?

At any rate you seem very low on carbs and healthy fats.

If I were you I would save the NLarge for only after the workout and for my other meals get my carbs from sources such as oatmeal, yams, sweet potatos, whole wheat pasta (sparingly), 100% whole wheat bread.

Also add healthy fats from flax, nuts, eggs

and also eat some red meat.

What i would do is follow the usual breakfast, lunchtime, evening meal route and then supplement with the meal replacement drinks according to how many extra cals you need. Someone recently pointed out to me a good calorie calculating article that is great for working out your maintainance cals heres the link: www.fitren.com/res3art.cfm?compid=18&artid=46
all you need to do then is add approx 500 cals per day to your maintainance and gradually increase until you are gaining the weight you want.

Hope this helps,

As a suggestion:
7:15...
Oatmeal: Pop the oats in the micro for 2 minutes with water and egg whites, and then add 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder, 1 tsp natural peanut butter, 1 tbs Dr. Udo's, and sweetner(Splenda).

9:30
MRP

11:30
Beef Steak, Brown rice or red (or sweet) potato, and a green veggie. If you poke the holes in the tater at home, you can pop it in the micro for 5 min, creatine, protein shake

1:30
egg whites and tuna

3:00 pre workout meal
4 oz chicken breast, small serving rice, flax seed oil, creatine

4:00 your workout

5:00
post workout high carb MRP

7:00
Chicken, rice, broc, greenbeans, etc

Before bed
low carb protein shake ( my choice). I never wake up hungry this way. L-Glutamine and GABA

you might have 200 grams of carbs in there if you are lucky man, you should be eating like 400-600 if you are gaining..and try to get less than 3 hours in between meals...

peace

It's hard for me to make more than general comments because everyones metabolism is specific. I would suggest you maintain a food log. Start by determining your maintenance level and then adjust your calories base on your goals. Since your caloric requirements will change constantly based on your development this has to be a committment for the rest of your bodybuilding life, if you want to make consistent improvement. The three most important dietary considerations are IMO, sufficient protein intake(minimum 1g per lb), proper amount of calories, and sufficient EFA's. Obviously, you will require a food log to really keep track of the first two requirements.
