Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I've been perusing the site for the last few weeks and it's been very informative. I've been using this diet for the last 6 weeks or so and I've seen some decent gains (up 8 pounds from when I started) but unfortunately a wicked stomach virus knocked me down to my starting point. About me, I'm 28, 5'5" and 130 pounds. I've been small my entire life, whole family runs small, but since I've started training almost 4 years ago I've put on 25 pounds, still nowhere near where I'd like to be. I chalk most of that up to using different diets and not sticking with one and seeing it through.
Anyhow, here's my sample daily diet, I estimate it to be around 3,500+ cals with around 300 grams of protein. PLEASE tell me what I'm doing wrong and changes you would make (I'm thinking of trying Sonis' diet in the food bulk sticky). I understand I need to be realistic in regards to gains because of my small frame so I guess I'm also trying to understand what would be considered good gains for my dimensions. Thanks for your time.
