meal portions

[worksux]

i just started lifting again and im trying to gain weight. so im wondering how much do i have to eat per meal. when i eat a meal should i eat till i cant eat anymore or should i eat a good portioned meal till im full. full as in my body feels like its had enough but not too much. because yesterday i ate every meal till i couldnt move and i felt like shit the whole day. this is my diet, le tme know if its good and how much i should be eating. thanks

breakfast - about 5 egg whites with a lot of chicken
snack - organic nuts. the bag consists of about 370 calories, apple
lunch - two burgers, tuna casaroll
snack - protein bar (i have class at the time and my teacher doesnt allow food in the class, so i have to eat this right before class starts
dinner 1 - chicken with bread
dinner 2 - pb&j
before bed - casein protein

bro, its never a good idea to eat until you cant eat anymore
How are you going to eat the 5 more meals u need in the day if you are too full?
each meal should have quality protein, carbs, EFAs
add in some protein with the organic nuts
dropp the pbj b4 bed and get 8-10oz of red meat

the organic nuts give me 10 grams of protein. should i still add more? and yea today i toned it down a little and im having meals that fill my stomach and not make me too full. and yea ill drop the pb and j and add meat. thanks

try getting 1g of protein per lb
1.5g of carbs per lb
and at least 50 to 100g of EFA during the evening with protein and no carbs

essential fatty acids

what's your BMR?

why guess how many calories you need to eat? actually calculate it so you know where you need to be.

i already calculated it. i need about 3500 to gain weight. i reamped my diet after a week of useage. here it is:

breakfast - 6 egg white omelet, animal pak after breakfast

snack - organic nuts + 2 scoops of cytogainer

lunch - varies but i eat some sort of meat (protein) and wheat (carbs). i eat till im moderatly full

snack - eas protein bar (im in class so i cant have a meal)

lift and take myoplex + rawmcc after workout (i take amp02 before)

dinner 1 - same thing as lunch

2 scoops of cyto gainer

dinner 2 - turkey and peperoni sandwich

casein + glutamine before bed


so what do you guys think? please post any comments thanks
