Do yourself a favor and add up the calories from the diet you laid out. There is a big difference if one of your meals is 2oz of steak or 8oz. Just so we aren't assuming what a portion is, etc. Also a diet is something that can look great on paper until you uncover the macronutrient breakdown and total calories. There can be a big discrepancy between what you are taking in and what THINK you are taking in.

Your good on the protein my friend. 200 is plenty for your size. So start aiming for 3000 calories and up. Start adding 500 cals per day every week until you are gaining 2 pounds per week. That 2 pounds per week should be slow enough to ensure that you aren't laying down a bunch of fat.

I would watch the bedtime meal...probably just keep it to protein and fat and no carbs.

I couldnt have said it any better myself, but this is what i was getting at. It is truly amazing when you sit down and add it all up how much you really are NOT eating.

A Sim said cook in bulk and take your meals with you. I buy the same 1kg of Kangaroo as him, I make it into 7 equally weighed rissols with 1 egg, bread crumbs onion lfales and some herbs and a bit of suace. That will last me 3 days. 1 rissole contains about 30+ grams of Protein. So you can have 1 fir Breakfast 1 for lunch spanning over 3 days and 1 day you get 1 more, the seventh 1.
This is very good, so I suggest if you could find somthing similar in America your case would be solved. But dont buy Beef mince, as the fat conetnt is dertermined by the cut, you might get alot more fat than needed.

Thanks for the comments and good advice.

I will do just that, and sit down and go through my diet and figure out just exactly what I am or not eating, I agree, it may look good on paper but a spoon full of this and a peice of that does'nt tell me a thing. I then will consentrate on upping my calories. Although an extra 500/dy seems alot, but I guess if you want to be big, you gotta eat big !!

I think I will do some bulk cooking over the weekend so I will have a couple day arsonal ready and on hand. (although I'll have to use chicken or fish, no kangaroos here)

Again, THANKS for the help, You guys Rock !!

Acually I was wrong 500 extra cals a day is no more than a grilled chicked breast at the local burger joint. I think I will lighten up on the crap they put on it though. I also understand a little more about what I'm consuming now, after looking into my diet. If I learn how to eat maybe some of my goals will be attainable.I have found a few recipes for high calorie meals that won't kill me on the carbs, and that won't overload my gut. So now I'm off to the market.
