Hit a Barrier, How's My Diet?

Bigger Stronger Leaner Beginners

Hello, I’m 15, 6’2" and 170 lbs. I’ve been lifting for a year, and I’ve really hit a barrier. I can’t gain any size or strength, so I just switched my routine to the Waterbury method, and put together a new diet plan that I hope will be good for me. It is as follows:

Meal 1: 2 Yogurts with Granola (around 400 calories with 20g of protein). I also drink 2 cups of milk with this, bringing the calories up to 640 and the protein up to 40g.

Meal 2: Oatmeal, an apple, and 2 cups of grape juice. Its around 440 calories and 5g of protein.

Meal 3: PB&J sandwich on whole wheat bread and a cup of milk. 520 calories with 26g protein.

Meal 5: Protein shake with a banana. 485 calories. 48g protein.

GYM TIME

Meal 6: Shake. 380 calories, 47g of protein. 8oz of grape juice, 120 calories.

Meal 7: Dinner. Pasta, meat, and a salad. Usually around 600-800 calories.

Not enough vegetables.

Thanks guys. Two questions: How would a chicken Caesar salad work with meal 2? And would it be fine if I stuck a turkey sandwich between the PB&J and the shakes, just a whole wheat sandwich with mayo, turkey, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese?

How about a 6 oz. burger with swiss cheese, no bun? Top it with some avocado.

Just add the turkey and tomatoes to the meal with the pb, cut the j, add a hard boiled egg.

Add some eggs and more meat to your meals.
