Well I have been reading the forums for a little bit now and I find alot of it useful. I just can't find a diet(if that is what you want to call it) that works for me. I in no way need to lose weight. I need to gain it but my metabolism kicks my ass in this department lol. I am 6'0 and around 170 pounds. I am very athletic but more in the department. Although I have let that slide also but that is for another thread.

I am married and have my first child on the way. So this means for me that I can't have a meal that really isolates me for groceries and meal times. Also I work construction so I can't really take a break every hour to eat.(THis is usually what most of the routines on the forum look like)

With that said I am lost lol. I so far have been eating what I normally do but I can garuntee that isn't what I need to Bulk up/help with my workout.

Usually I have

-Bowl of cereal in the morning (I like my cereal hehe)
but it isn't a health food cereal so I guess I could improve there

-lunch usually changes with the groceries
Grilled cheese and tomato soup.
or various meat sandwiches.
or if nothing is at home I have a bowl of cereal hehe( told you I like it)

-supper
Steak, potatoes, veggies of some sort
or Roast with same as above
or ham with same as above
or pasta with veggies

any help will be appreciated.
Also if a protein shake is needed that is ok cause I am willing to buy a supplement like that.
 
we say have 6 meals a day about 3 hours apart from each other. this will most likely come out to one meal before work, three meals at work and two meals after work. also its most likely that only your first meal and your last meal will be ones where you prepare it and eat it right then and there. so that means the others will have to be planned and prepared in advance.

ideas for breakfast include oats, eggs, fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, protein pancakes, protein cereal, protein french toast, etc

ideas for bedtime meals include cottage cheese, yogurt, natural peanut or almond butter, nuts, etc

how is your work schedule? do you get morning and afternoon breaks? what do you have access to (microwave, fridge, etc)? can you carry a cooler with you?
 
Well I usually get a 15 min break before lunch then an hour lunch then no break after lunch. I can bring a cooler and I rarely have access to fridge, microwave etc.

What is the difference between normal breakfast items and protein ones that you have listed like protein pancakes and protein cereal??
 
quick meal ideas include cottage cheese, yogurt, nuts, fruit, sandwiches, protein shakes, homemade protein bars, etc. take the time to prepare them and throw them in your cooler in the mornings to take with you. with no break in the afternoon would be the time to have protein shakes to get calories in.

you could throw protein and fruit in cereal. you can do homemade pancakes with oats, eggs, splenda or stevia and cinammon. you can do french toast by soaking the bread in milk, protein powder and cinammon then cook. just to add more variety :)
