I did my first weights session yesterday (I know I joined this site in 2002 but Im a slow starter!) and I'm well aware it will take me a few weeks to get up to speed and learn how to perform the exercises properly etc. I did an upper body session yesterday and I was only able to lift pretty small weights (15-20kg barbell and 7.5 kg dumbbells) while completing the 15 reps the instructor recommended me to do. I asked him about diet and he told me not to worry about eating a lot of extra calories for the next few weeks while my body gets used to it. I am unsure because I feel that my body will want to grow from day 1 given the right stimulus. The diet I am planning to follow is
262g protein per day 350g carbs 116g fat 3524 calories
Breakfast
30g whey shake w. skimmed milk
100g oats w. Dried Fruit
