Please Help My Dumbass With Dieting

Diet and Nutrition
1

I’m new to training. I planned on focusing on it a lot this year, but then school got in the way. Now that it’s almost over, I plan on really cracking down this summer. My goal is to put on as much muscle as possibly (naturally, of course). I’ll probably use a TBT program from this site. Anyway, here’s what my diet looks like. It’s not very consistent; I’m 16, so I don’t buy the food.

Breakfast:
3 eggs (w/ ketchup)
multivitamin
1 packet instant oatmeal
gnc brand whey protein in water (about 20g protein)

Lunch:
1 can of tuna
some kind of fruit

Post-workout:
1 can of tuna
gnc brand whey in water
handful of mixed nuts

Dinner:
usually consists of a ton of lean meat (chicken, steak, etc.)
some green veggies

Snack:
handful of mixed nuts
i try and scrounge whatever i can find, usually some leftover meat

Any suggestions are welcome, even bashing. I would also like to know where I can get a good post-workout drink (internet isn’t an option right now) and how much fish oil I should go through and at what times. Any other suggestions about supplementation would help as well.

I forgot a few details…
-I drink mostly water, occasionally some green tea with honey
-As far as body composition, I’m 6’0" and 150 (small, I know). Not sure about body fat, although it’s probably around the low teens.

It’s obvious by looking at your post that you haven’t read many of the nutrition articles on this site. Instead of having one of us advise you, why don’t you do yourself a favor and start educating yourself? It’s apperant you have a LOT to learn.

Stop being lazy. You’re at T-Nation! You have a wealth of information at your fingertips so use it.

Eat more, lift heavy…

You gotta eat more. Nutrient timing may help you, but at your age, I’d just focus on doing this:

(1) eat fruit and vegetables daily
(2) have some protein whenever you eat
(3) limit processed foods

I wish I had eaten a lot more and paid better attention to the quality of food I was eating when I was your age. I’d probably be taller.

You need more meals, should be eatting 2 cans of tuna at each sitting, and make sure you;re getting at least 40/50g protein at each feeding. Make sure you have some slow digesting prot/fat source before bed.
