You might have heard my story so far, but I will give you the quick rundown possible. I am trying to get in shape for a cruise I have upcoming, as well as just in general. I am 6'1" and 133 lbs. My goal is get to 180 lbs, as much of that being muscle as possible by this upcoming November.
So I am trying to bulk up, on a daily basis I usually consume about

2200 calories
270g of Carbs
90g of protein

according to the calculators at bodybuilding.com if I want to bulk they should be

3500
260 g of complex carbs
130-195 g of protein

The dilemma I am running into is that, I recently got a supplement that if I take it when it suggests (twice a day) I will almost double all of these goals, as well as go broke using them so frequently.

Anyway the questions I have are should I take it twice evreryday like it suggests, or just try and eat some more and only have 1 serving per day?

Judging by the info I provided if anyone could give me any insight in terms of what I should do,it would be greatly appreciated. Any other thoughts would be of great help also. Below is the link to the supplement if you want to see the nutrition info yourself Thank you all in advance.

yea just use it once if 2x will make you go broke, 1 can of plain tuna fish is about 40g of protein, 1 glass of grape juice is about 40 carbs
 
okay thanks, the grape juice sounds good. I dont like fish however is there any other good source of quick protien out there?
 
egg whites/protein bar/whey milk/chicken breast but tuna seems to be smallest/most protein to eat quickly
 
Yeah, you could even split up the once a day, for example, the weight gainer says a serving is 4 scoops and thats 1,000 and some calories. If it tells you twice a day ( I didnt read in depth) thats 2,000 plus calories from that weight gainer alone, which is probably too much. So you could do two scoops twice a day ( maybe only once one some days depending on what else you eat) , which would be about 500 calories each time instead of cramming all 1,000 calories in at once. Hope that wasn't too confusing.

Other proteins..TURKEY! gorund turkey, deli turkey, turkey steaks, I'm gonna sound like bubba on forrest gump soon. And of course many other meats and dairy products, cottage cheese, yogurt, milk, etc.

Good Luck.
 
try a can of white albacore tuna.
I don't mind fish really, but chunk light tuna is like eating cat food.

but the solid white albacore star kist tuna isn't as fishy, and with a little pepper, tastes good.
 
thanks for all the input guys Ill probably end up doing 1/2 a serving before working out, and another about an hour after.
