hi, i had an op last year that put me out of training for best part of a year and i have currently dropped down to about 9 3/4 stone as a result. I have been going to the gym again for around 2 months just taking things easy but have now had the go ahead from the doc to ramp things up! i need some advice on my diet though as i have always found it difficult to build muscle.
i eat the following in a day
7:00 - phd snyergy protein shake & 2 shredded wheats
10:00 - phd pharma whey shake + banana
1:00 - 150g chicken with coleslaw + 2 whole wheat pita
4:00 - phd pharma whey shake : 30g almonds
7:00 - meal (mainly fish or soy protein with veg and pasta)
10:00 - phd synergy protein shake
do you think this is enough quality food to build muscle without putting on too much bodyfat? i have only started eating properly (i.e.) 6 times a day in the last 2 weeks so i was ready for when i start the gym properly? any advice on this or tips on building up would be much appreciated!
thanks in advance
