Hey Veeky Forums, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I've been lifting for a few months now, and despite eating what I feel like it a lot every day, I'm still at approximately the same weight and same level of strength as I was a few months ago. I was wondering if you could tell me if there's anything wrong with my diet/what I should change.

My stats:
>6'4"
>180 lbs
>20 years old
>doing modified SS with rows instead of cleans
>squat: 205 lbs
>bench 145 lbs
>OHP: 95 lbs
>diddly: 220 lbs
>row: 130 lbs

My Diet:
- Breakfast:
>a protein shake with while milk
or
>a Jimmy Dean's bacon and egg breakfast bowl on workout mornings
>a shake after the workout with some oats mixed in

- Lunch:
>a bagel with 3 slices of Turkey, 3 slices of chicken, and a slice of cheese
>a cup of yogurt
>a packet of tuna with mayo mixed in
>a clif builder's bar (Pls no bully)

Dinner (pic related):
>chicken breast
>broccoli
>brown rice
>black beans

Snacks:
>some ramen with an egg in it
>a spoon or two of peanut butter before bed

So there's my diet, which I eat pretty consistently. Is there anything I should be adding? I only started it somewhat recently, so should it take some time to kick in? Also, bulking general/bulking tips thread, since
>inb4 "read the sticky"

Just eat more, Einstein.

I mean you practically spelled the problem and solution out by yourself. What do you need us for?

We'll what more should I be eating? My TDEE basically says I should be eating a whole other fucking meal or two, but I don't have the time for that. So what are some snacks I can carry around an eat between classes and shit? Or what do you guys do for easy calories?

stop eye gauging calories and start weighting and tracking your food. buy a table scale and start using cronometer or MFP website. weight yourself weekly and adjust calories as you gain weight. it's simple.

if you have trouble eating your calories then drink them. that's what i do. every morning after workout i put around 250g of oats, 0.4 liters of milk, a banana and around 30g of PB into a blender and then drink it. that's around 1500 calories right there.

nuts are a good high cal snack. if you can afford it, jerkey is also good.

Thanks for these. I dabbled in counting macros before, but I got a bit overwhelmed at the idea of trying to track restaurant meals and stuff. And I carried around a bag of almonds last year, I guess I should start doing that again. I also recently got a good blender and some powdered oats, so I guess I'll try to up my shake quality.

eating out is fine if you don't do it too often. a few cheat meals won't kill you, but if you do that every single day then it adds up fast. you are what you eat. stop doing that and start cooking your own food.

if you have no problems eating the same shit you can weight your food like rice, etc., in advance and put it in tupperware and then just make it, knowing the macros in advance.

if you have trouble eating more food eat the ones that are high in fat since 1g of fat is like 9 calories compared to 4 from protein and carbs. nuts are one of those types of food. peanut butter is relatively cheap and high on calories. who doesn't like pb?

here is a pic of what my food for the day looks like on bulk. on some days i'll replace rice with potatoes and chicken with fish but for the most part that's what i eat every single day. when i cut i just tone down the amount of it. the only supplements i buy and really need are vitamin D and fish oil. everything else i get from food. and buying all of that food in bulk is pretty cheap too.

Holy shit our lifts are almost identical
Maybe I do need to eat more after all

Thanks for this one. I'd assume "lunch" includes dinner also? Otherwise that's a pretty big meal. And yeah. For the meal that was my OP image, I've been making about 5 meals worth of all those ingredients in advance and dishing them out every night. Is a scale a huge game changer? Or should I just go by the labels on the foods and eyeball it?
