Bulking help please!

[chewybaws]

I'm 6ft and weigh about 152lbs (look really skinny). I want to add weight (maybe upto about 175-180lbs).

 

I've just started the Stronglifts 5x5 beginner program and have been doing similar training for a couple of weeks.

 

My new diet plan is like this:

-Lots of porridge, fruit (most of the time in soy yoghurt), glass of soy milk

-100g of nuts, orange

-Baked potato, veg (brocolli/spring greens or mixed veg), mock chicken

-Clif bar

-4 peanut butter sandwiches (wholemeal bread)

-wholemeal pasta/tofu/a tin of any bean/veg (same as before) (sometimes with a tomato sauce)

-100g of nuts, apples

-7 oatcakes (or crackers) with peanut butter

 

Been doing this about 6 days (don't always manage to eat ALL of it though).

 

I only do about 5mins max of cardio before workout (I walk everywhere I go outside the house though).

 

Is it best to eat every 2 hours or every 3 hours when bulking?

When should you weigh yourself and how frequently?

Anyone got any tips or certain foods i should be eating more of?

 

Help will be greatly appreciated!

First eat more protein. Seitan, Tempeh, tofu, pea protein, soy, hemp, all of it. Eat protein every two hours you are awake. Second, look at how many calories you are eating and start increasing it by 250 a day until a week at a time untli you start to see some size gains.
