Help - I am stumped

OttawaSenators Posts: 2 Joined: 2003/07/10	2003/12/15, 07:49 PM Hey Guys, Gals. I have finally kicked my smoking habit (Still in the "tough" stages) and I have just found this site. After signing up for the 8 week, building some mass, I am confused on the diet. I am 150lbs and look very skinny. Will I see a difference in 8 weeks if I stick to the plan? I am not looking for BIG gains, just noticeable in the upper body. I just need to get some ideas on what to eat and when. I have been searching everywhere. Is it possible someone has an eating plan per day / per week like this program ? It would be so much easier to eat what is on the list for that day and not having to worry about if I am getting enough of everything? Hope I make sense :) Ron.

Try to get at least 250 calories per day above maintenance. You will make good gains in the beginning anyway, and some extra calories will add to your mass. Here is your grocery list to choose from...
