Eating: I'm Doing It Wrong?

Diet and Nutrition
1

This is going to be a retarded and whiney post, so I apologise whole-heartedly for the noobish bollocks this contains.

I’m a skinny motherfucker, and for some reason (probably stemming from childhood insecurity & watching Rocky 4 far too much) I badly want to be hyooge.

So I’ve been attempting to ‘bulk’, I already know my training isn’t sufficient, which will be addressed when I finally man up and join a gym.

The main problem I am encountering at the moment is the fact that I am spending the majority of my time working, eating food, and cooking food. I understand the amount of dedication that goes into bodybuilding, but I think I’m making things unnecessarily difficult for myself. I’d like you to check out my diet, flame the fuck out of me for eating like a retard, and hopefully give me suggestions on what I’m doing wrong.

Meal 1: 50g porridge oats, protein powder, 1 pint whole milk, 1 banana, 100g mixed frozen fruit, 50g peanut butter, 1 tbsp honey + cinnamon

Meal 2: 50g Mixed nuts

Meal 3: 100g peanut butter, 2 slices wholemeal bread, 1-2 pints whole milk

Meal 4: Either 75g rice + 1 serving of chilli or 100g pasta + Bolognese

Meal 5: 75g rice + 100-150g chicken (1 hour before workout)

Meal 6: 1 can tuna, 100g quinoa (Eating almost immediately after workout)

Meal 7: 2 eggs, 4 slices wholemeal bread, 1 pint milk, 50g nuts

So basically, I’m looking for ways to cut down the amount of time I spend eating, and also any advice about different meals I could have, which would ideally be able to be cooked the night before.

Thanks in advance, I appreciate the time you have taken to read my retarded post.

You Don’t provide enough information. Whats your budget for food? How many kcals are you shooting for a day?
Whats your training look like?

From what you have given me your either not eating enough or your workouts suck.

Personally I’d eat that to maintain not gain. and your immidiate post workout meal sucks… bad… like try 4 cans of tuna with the 100g of quinoa.

as for the question at the end… eat faster? I really don’t know what to tell you I pig out almost all day long including at work. you have to make time… bieng hyooge as you put it is a lifestyle not a hobby. It takes sacrifice. I’m in school, am in the military thats 40+ on a good week. run 9 miles a week and still make time for these things.

My budget for food is £50 per week, which is apparently 75.88500 U.S. dollars.

I think I’m shooting for like 3500 cals.

I’ve been doing the basic training for beginners for like a year now.

Numbers suck though, due to not owning enough plates/ not being a member for a gym/ insert random excuse.

Ya I understand you have to eat alot, I was just looking for recommendations on what foods to eat, like what is everyone else eating? Does it really matter what I eat? Could I just consume like 4 liquid meals and the rest as solids? Maybe I’m just searching for the magic answer that doesn’t exist.

m1: throw in 150g of oats & double the protein power portion

m7: better make that 4 eggs at least

cook up a massive chilli every sunday night, use at least 2kg’s of beef mince! dish it out into take away containers and you’ve got loads of meals right there.

Been making a batch of chili every week with tons of veggies in it for a few weeks now. it’s helped tons to get enough food. Also, if you make a couple of super shakes through the day it’ll cut down on the meals you have to make; just make sure they are loaded.

If you are wanting to spend less time eating and preparing food then this may not be for you. I am eating every 2.5 - 3 hours and spend around 4 hours every Sunday doing nothing but cooking and preparing the weeks food. This is a necessary evil. If you have the funds, maybe try liquid meals. P+F and P+C 6-7 times a day. Not ideal in any way but hey…
