don't you have any fat in the diet? it also matter where you get your protein and carbs from.

 

[ran_azrad]

i get a quality pro n' carbs.
apparently i have fat in my diet but i didnt note it because i'm not actually count it.
i'm not taking into account my pro from bread or something like that...

You should bump your protein up to gain mass you wanna be consuming 1.5-2g of protein per pound of body weight.

You do have alot of meals there and alot of protien shakes. But if you like it that way, I'd prefer to see more real food in there myself. Drop the cornflakes and add Porrige Oats, I'd do somthing like this..

06:00- 10eggs (4 whole 6 whites) with 2-3 slices of wholegrain toast.
09:00- Protein Shake mixed with Porrige Oats.
12:00- 100g Chicken Breast 2 slices of wholegrain bread
15:00- 2 Cans Of Tuna Mixed with 150g Wholemeal Pasta
17:00- 100g Chicken Breast 2 slices of wholegrain bread
18:00- (Pre workout)Protein shake with Creatine and Aminos
20:00- (Post Workout)Protein shake mixed with oats (Carb cut off point)
22:00- 200g chicken breast with 100g of veg or salad
23:00- 250g Cottage Cheese.

Not saying you should do it like this JMO.

8 meals holy shit. you can easily get those calories into 5 meals.

 

[Drako]

Yeah I only have 5 but Some guys just like to eat...

 

[ecke70]

protein from bread is also protein! if i remeber correctly muslie/bread/pasta ara about 8-12% protein so you could be getting a lot more protein than you count.

and i counted 9 meals which is not nessecery for anyone in my opinion

I wouldnt say 9 meals was essecery either but if that makes it easier for him to consume the calories needed in a day then I say... let him do it this just works better for some guys.
