i would ditch the beans and have oats or wetabix add little fruit
2 hrs later Protien drink
dinner -pasta/rice & chicken
Have some veg in here
2hrs later -bannana's
Banana is not a meal its a snack, So have fish and pasta/rice ot Steak and poatao veg etc u get the idea
2hrs later -Protien drink
tea time -2 Jacket potato's with 1 tin of tuna
Bit of veg and or fruit
before bed -Protien drink
I like having egg whites 30-60mins before bed as its lean protein
I don't im eating enough, i sometimes change things around i like to eat mackeral fillets, eggs, chicken, rice, pasta, tuna, i make up alot of my protien through shakes.
Where does ur tranning fit in??????????????????????????????????????? ~Once i know this i can tell u where to ditch the protein drinks unless u reallllllllly cant get any solids in u.
Over all you need, more fruit and veg, more structred meals, and some efas flax powder, linseeds pumpkin seeds, salmon etc.

Yeah i know i only like eating banana's not up on seeds or oils though what are they all about??
Whats efas flax powder & linseeds please enlighten me i want the whole lot!!
I train when ever i can as i am self employed & work for myself so its easy to just dash to the gym when ever really
And yes i sometime do struggle getting solids down especially in the day time and TBH the main reason is i just don't feel hungry and the other reason i can't be bothered to make anything i know this sounds bad but i think if i had someone too cook my food i would eat it alot easier
Im not the best cook TBH
I find it easier to just mix a shake up
But yeah i defo need some more fruit & veg in the diet !

Dave you know im frank with you mate, but dont go on cycle until you know what you grow on mate, watse of time and money otherwise 
with regards to diet, its poor on face value mate. Stats please dude
DOnt worry about meal frequency either, 3 or 8 meals it makes no difference, its what you are comfortable with mate

TIO i don't mind you being frank! Tell me straight!
I understand what your saying mate,
The diet needs work. What stats do you need?
Stats -
Weight- 16 stone bang on
Height- 6ft '2

BF id say around 12% or so if you have abs, thats quite abit of mass youre carrying though mate, be interested to see a photo.
anyway diet id recommend for you
Breakfast 4 whole eggs with 4 whites, 4 slices of granary toast and apiece of fruit (this can be low sugar jam)
snack handful of mixed nuts and a protein blend drink
Dinner 150-200g of wholemeal pasta with sauce, 200g chicken breast
snack 500g fat free fromage frais with a piece of fruit
tea time: fine mate, get in some veg!
before bed: 200g oily fish like salmon with a some veggies in stir fry sauce
thats just a rough guide mate. adjust it to your own needs though. Once you see how you react to growing with a good diet then hop on cycle as youll want to get the best otu of it and no sense in selling yourself short IMO

Where is the best place to buy cheap chicken fillets?
Lidl in my experience
But you can also use things like turkey mince which is cheap and only 5% fat too, ASDA and sainsburys sell it

get my chicken from the market, 12 fillets for a £10 each fillet is 150g so 1800g for 10er aint bad. could def get a better deal if i bought in more bulk.

Diets going a little better now thanks to some good advice
I have cut the eggs to 4 using all whites as advised
Im eating more fruit
more fish for omega 3
Cut back on the protein shakes a little
But eating more food, im trying to get my protein from food a bit more than relying on the shakes.
How much Protein and Carbs should i be having per day?
I weigh 102kg so about 16 stone.
Thanks

1.5g of protein per lb and as for carbs i'd say aim for a figure then adjust depending on how much weight you put on. aim for same amount of carbs as protein and i believe 20% of you whole diet should be fat.
