I don't like following strict plans that tell you exactly what to eat every day, so what are some basic guidelines to follow? Foods to stick with/stay away from? Here's roughly what my diet looks like right now:

Breakfast - Protein shake with strawberries/banana/skim milk

Snack - Protein bar

Lunch - Salad with ham/turkey/tomatoes/avocados/cheese/low fat ranch

Snack - String cheese

Dinner - Chicken breast with wild rice and a large serving of vegetables

Snack - Protein shake about an hour before I go to bed

Supplements - I take a 6 pill multivitamin in the morning with breakfast and then mix a recovery drink of grape juice and protein powder after my workout. I also try to drink at least 64oz of water each day.

Just looking for some opinions on how to eat, especially during intense training. Craving some more variety right now. I also need to put on some more weight really.

I haven't been eating snacks but here is my diet so far.

B - Shake, eggs, ham, toast or bagel

L - MEAT or pasta or sandwich (tri-tip sandwiches-mmmmm. 1lb+ of tri-tip)

D - Above^

After workout 11PM - Meat.

I take a few supplements and try to drink a gallon of water a day.

fish contains a good amount of lean protein and essential fatty acids.

you dont have any of it in your diet. try having a tuna sandwhich at lunch some days or a fish dinner etc. also make sure u are having wholemeal bread/rice/pasta.

also Acclaimed|Jordan, 3 meals isn't enough. when bulking, which you are, 5-7 meals are often consumed. are you getting 500-1k calories over ur recommended daily amount with those 3 meals? doubt it.

Wholemeal is just like whole wheat, right?

What's so good about wholemeal? I thought the only main benefit was the high fibre?

I rarely have wholemeal pasta/rice/bread in my diet :s

eggs or oatmeal for breakfast.

Make the sacrifice and get up early.

And get into the habit of counting your calories!

Yeah I need to get this down. It is pretty hard with my schedule though so I stuff my face each meal and make sure it is over 1K calories.

Make sure to explore your options and change that up a bit at least one thing per day. You will get sick of it, and go off it.

Try some different salads, snacks or even combo's to ensure you stay 100% committted.
