I'm 27, 6'1, 180 pounds and would like to get up to maybe 190ish. BB1 your input in particular would be greatly appreciated. I feel as though I have reached something of a plateau in gains. Meal 1 - 2/3 cup of 100% whole grain oats, 4 eggs (whole), banana/strawberry/apple juice smoothie, fish oil Meal 2 - 1-2 cup Kashi or Vector cereal with natural yogurt Meal 3 - Tuna sandwhich on 12 grain whole wheat bread with some mayonaisse Protein shake before workout Protein shake after workout Meal 4 - Chicken/Fish/Beef with vegetables and/or brown rice, fish oil Meal 5 - 2 tbsp. peanut butter, sometimes on a whole wheat english muffin I will sometimes have a shake before bed So yeah, comments and criticisms welcome. Thanks guys.

letsgetserious Posts: 5 Joined: 2006/11/15	2007/04/09, 08:26 PM Ecle5c, I've been eating roughly the same thing(s) for about 5 months. Gupunkitar2004, I usually use Muscle Milk for my shakes ... 350 cals with just water and 640 mixing it with milk. Any suggestions on extra stuff to throw in there would be welcome though.
