Sport My Diet

[Mavs]

In the last two weeks i've started at the gym again, i'm 18, 68KG (was 66 when i started) and about 6 foot. This is what i've been eating. I can already see and feel differences in myself in two weeks and am having much more success than my last attempt at building some muscle when my diet was awful. However i'm still not sure how good my diet is and i know it can be improved. I have been recommended more eggs at breakfast but i dont really want to have the 5-6 eggs a day some people have. Anyway, this is what i'm eating:

Meal 1:
2 sachets of oat-so-simple (i would tell you how many grams but i've run out and thrown the packaging away...)
Milk
Sunflower seeds

Meal 2:
100g mixed nuts
Fruit (Strawberrys and grapes, whatever is around really)

Meal 3:
2 egg omlette, 2 rations of bacon, cheese grated on it

Meal 4:
100g pasta with a chicken breast

Meal 5:
This is dinner and varies as im living at home and my mum cooks it for me and my sister. It consists of meat (usually chicken, sometimes fish or mince), vegetables (carrotts, broccoli, cabbage or salad), and either pasta or potatos.

Meal 6:
Beans on Toast

I'm also having one or two protein shakes a day, and at least one glass of milk. I'm sure there are things i'm doing wrong, so any advice is welcome! Thanks.

Carb heavy and low in protein. This is why people eat eggs for breakfast...


Meal 2:
100g mixed nuts
Fruit (Strawberrys and grapes, whatever is around really)
No protein really. Just carbs and fat from the nuts. Nuts are an incomplete protein.

Meal 3:
2 egg omlette, 2 rations of bacon, cheese grated on it
Finally some protein...but a lot of saturated fat and sodium added by the bacon and cheese.

Meal 4:
100g pasta with a chicken breast
add some veggies and this is a decent meal, especially if its whole wheat pasta

Meal 5:
This is dinner and varies as im living at home and my mum cooks it for me and my sister. It consists of meat (usually chicken, sometimes fish or mince), vegetables (carrotts, broccoli, cabbage or salad), and either pasta or potatos.
meat, veggies, and don't overload on the carbs

Meal 6:
Beans on Toast
No protein.

The protein shakes help, but there's probably some room in there for some more whole protein sources (eggs, cottage cheese, meat/chicken/fish, etc). Watch the bacon and watch your carb intake until you know how well you do on carbs. Carbs aren't such a concern when adding muscle (bulking) but if you are gaining too much fat at the same time, ease off the carbs a little.

fat is not bad, even saturated fat is needed by the body...to a degree.

I consume lots of veggies and fruits as my carb source, they are a fast burning carb and will not store as fat. I share this with everyone that lifts, 70 to 80% of fruits and veggies are water so you also stay hydrated daily,once a week have a cheat meal of pasta or whatever you want.
