Hi all,

I'm new to the forums so please go easy on me with the reply's.
I know most likely this question has been asked before, but i want a direct answer.
I've been training for about 1.5 years now, about half a year i've been training 'properly'
I'm not seeing much results. and the only thing it can be is my diet.
my training is great i got good form and everything.
my diet consists of tuna, rice, cous cous, beans, oats and water lol, i eat 5 times a day and have my protein shake in the morning and after my workout.
that is during the week Monday to Friday. Saturday and Sunday is different i eat what ever is in front of me, I'm pretty sure this is the only thing that stuffs me up, this however is changing as of this coming weekend i will eat properly.

I'm 190-192cm tall
90kg
with a bit of a gut.

Obvious thing out of training is i want to lose the gut and gain size.
Now, i know from reading previous posts what diffrent types of foods i should be eating, but honestly speaking im not creative at all,
Could you people out there please, please write down what you eat throughout the day please,
this would be much appreciated and help me out a lot.

Thanking you all in advance,

Any help with this PLEASE!!!!
for some reason its making me go crazy lol
i know this all takes time and nothing comes quickly with boidybuilding, but i think it is taking me a little while longer then most lol.
 
As above, what is your training routine, as most people are let down by training, you say it's great, but who told you it's great??

How much do you squat, deadlift, bench and militry press?? How often do you squat heavy per week?? etc etc

What routine are you using, frequency, volume etc etc??

More info is required before truly useful advise can be given.

EDIT:

Just saw your diet, kill me now, I am surprised you have not self harmed. I would be going crazy as well mate!

Where is your eggs, steak, chicken, pork, potatoes, veggies, etc etc

howcome so much tuna? Get some variety in your diet and include some vegetables and fruits as well.

I'm not surprised you're frustrated, I'd neck myself if that's what I was eating everyday! lol

Steak, chicken, eggs, mince, tuna, fish, salmon, vegetables, fruits..etc get it into you.

You might want to have a look at the "Sticky's" under the nutrition section of the forum. There's diet plans there for different calorie consumptions as well.

I've linked some good ones here for you, but take a look and see if there are any others that interest you and/or could help you in your quest?

Best of luck to you.

Variety is the spice of life! lol

Work out looks like part of the problem to me....

Is this how you have trained since starting?

For nutrition I like to use fitness pal... I use it to track my macros... Do you know your Macros?

If your happy to pay for it....Look up Max Brenner on here if you want someone to do the numbers for your macros.... This is the easy way...

Alternatively you can work it out from the stickys in the nutrition thread for the win...

I started using my fitness pal as well, easy way to keep track of your daily intake, will soon be getting back to it, as I seen the best results while I was using it.

It is however just a way of tracking it, so you still need to work out your requirements, and don't use the guidelines within the fitness pal program, you need to program your own nutritional goals into the application.
 
That diet sounds like torture. If your looking at tweaking this I would say add eggs for breakfast, replace baked beans with chicken, don't worry about the rice crackers, and eat a cup of green veggies or salad at every meal except breakfast. Your carbs are too high I reckon. Also wait 45 minutes to have your protein shake after the gym.

Good point Mick.... The fitness pal guidelines are not intended for weightlifters.... There is a menu that can be used to manually adjust your protein, fats and carbs to suit your goals...

There calorie and macro break downs are definitely not make for people lifting weights. Plug in your own figures. One of the calorie counters told me the calories I was eating per day I would put of 9kg per month yet I lost a couple kgs.
