With that kinda diet it's a wonder you're not LOSING weight!

read the sticky: What a bodybuilder eats

Once you figure out how much and what you should eat, yu should track your calories on Fitday.

I dont see any carbs or fats. You also might be overtraining. Read this for some tips: http://www.bodybuilding.net/training...wing-1451.html

Eat a big ol' breakfast with some fats, protein and complex carbs in it!

I think I'd pass out if all I had for brekki was a shake.

And I'd definitly be passed out if I didn't eat any real food until 3 hours after a W/o.

Last time I checked 6' 235lbs is big....I haven't seen pic's of you so I don't know if it's mostly fat.

Also, i just noticed by looking at your lifts, your probably one of those guys who does chest like 3 times a week and legs once (If not, no offesnse, just an observation). Usually, people are strongest on deadlifts, than squats, than bench, and your completely opposite. How do you train?
