Less gains this month = how much food?

Man when I was younger and didnt have much money to spend of stuff - Milk powder was my friend! - used a fuck load of this stuff - Id have about 2 scoops of my protein scoop which is like 60g (so 4 tablespoons) - have this in your snack with a big ass peanut butter sandwich.

Then before bed have some more milk powder and maybe some cottage cheese if you can afford it (fairly cheap) - this is what I used to have!
 
Thanks PS, I might just take some more milk powder, with protein powder or without i dont know ill decide later.

Are not condusive.

Protein powder per serve is generally more expensive than food. More cals, add in whole milk. Cheap, good protein, some fat (which you seem to be lacking) and high cal.

Try adding 500ml-1ltr a/day. That's an extra 15-30g~ of protein/fat + 3-600cal/day. That should be all you need to spur some new growth.

I don't mean to sound like an ass, but my diet is pretty good. I have a sports nutritionist who has set up my diet. Im just curious, since i have gained more weight, i would eat more right, and because the gains weren't as much as last time, rather a lot less, i need more food in me?

Just because it's free does not make it good.

Maaaaaate..what's up with you. Sprinkle some cinamon on it.

You could go for white potatoes.

I like white potatoes in olive oil with a o=pinch of salt, but normally eat sweet potatoe.

I get sick of sweet potatoes pretty quickly but white/red potatoes I'm just fine with and can eat daily. Add a bit of garlic and some basil and you're laughing.

Oh and for LMD. Oats/Potatoes etc. aren't exactly expensive. Oats being $1/750-800g so a couple of bucks for near 2kg aint bad. Same with (white) potatoes $2-3/kg depending where you get 'em. Cheaper from markets etc.

Also as to what PowerSports said about the Milk Powder, it's dirt cheap and adding it TO your milk will add more awesome to eat + extra protein etc.
 
Cheers for suggestions guys.

I will be having, 1 cup of milk and 3 tbs milk powder.
And just for you bread haters, i will try mix it up every so often.
 
Yea Jim, ill get natural pb. Ill probably change it up all the time. As long as its highly nutrional and around 300 calories.
