Train like a freak, eat like a slave, and sleep like a baby  :thumbsup:

Since you wanna get bigger, next time you go gym lift heavy, low reps and low sets. Try and remove as much cardio as you can. Drink heaps of water and eat ALOT!

Protein shakes shouldnt be used as a replacement for meals. Try and eat foods high in complex carbs, good fats and protein. Foods you should be looking at include:

Fish, nuts, red meat, chicken, yams, fruit, whole grain foods, pasta, oats etc...

To gain weight efficiently, you need to eat a meal atleast once every 2 hours. The meal doesnt have to leave you full, just satisfied. And remember to drink heaps of water, more than 8 glasses. Like 1.5 litres!

Try and stay away from alcohol, coffee, tea, energy drinks like V, redbull.

fuck dat, way too much 2 do lol. but yea, ill try.
i drink like 2.5L of water a day so thats not a problem. i eat lots of chicken but not much red meats except macca's and lots of fruit, whole grains, pasta's and stuff but i also eat heaps of junk food. so maybe thats the problem, too much fatty foods(i way 65) so im not fat :P
btw wen u say eat every 2 hours does an apple count? like i ate an apple 2 hours ago and then another fruit or somthin after 2 hours. or does it have 2 be more than that.

nah man you gotta eat more than an apple every two hours

so for example something id have would be two sandwhiches with tuna (whole grain bread) and an apple. Along with plenty of water.

The reason i say stay away from alcohol and drinks with caffiene, is because they dehydrate the body. And if you want to gain weight than this is not good. But once in awile out with friends its aiight.

yer man of course! mix it up on mine i put tuna, lettuce, tomatoes....wateva

tuna in oil is better, i think, check the nutrution table and compare both...whichever has more protein than pick it
