Avoid fast foods and foods that are processed (that usually means they are loaded with added fat and/or preservatives). Eat carbs with every meal, especially if its a high protein meal. Good carbs can come from potatoes, pasta, or legumes. Eating for mass is too much like work, but will yield the results you're looking for when its a part of a solid workout routine. Just make sure you eat a lot and often. Its pretty much common sense, but you have to have the mental discipline to stick with it. A couple of good sites to visit for meal ideas are: http://www.bodyforlife.com/nutrition http://www.discoveryhealth.com ((Just look to the left side of the page and scroll down to where it reads "Diet & Fitness", click, then choose "Healthy Recipes")) Hope these help. There are a few thousand recipes just on those sites, so your meals will never get boring. Good luck!!!!
