Jay welcome to the board man !!

How many times a day do you like to eat ?

This is just my opinion, but I think someone trying to gain weight should eat 5 to 8 times a day.

Your first meal being one of your largest. And the next largest meal should be after the gym.

Sounds like you have a pretty fast metabolism. Can you post some photos ?

I understand wanting to keep your identity a secret, so just blur your face out.

6 meals sound great!!!! Now please tell me what I should be eating. All I need is a diet plan to follow.

Your gonna have to research in the bodybuilding forum under nutrition.

It's hard to provide someone with a meal plan because everyone responds different.

If a meal plan works for one person it might make someone else hold extra body fat, or they might not have enough food to gain weight.

If I could eat 8 times a day that would be perfect. I don't mind cooking, I just need to know what I should be eating. My Metabolism is super fast.

If your unsure. Try counting your macronutrients.

You weigh 175lbs. So try 1.5g protein per pound of your body weight.

For carbohydrates, start with 2g per pound of your body weight

Fats, start with .25g per pound of your body weight.

Protein sources can be: chicken breast, skirt steak, lean pork, beef jerky, turkey bacon. These are examples, there are a lot more.

Carbohydrates: oatmeal, rice, potatoes, yams, pasta. Examples, there are more

Fats: olive oil, nuts, red meat, fish oil. Examples. There are more.

Jay this is as specific as this advice will get. People put food in their kids mouths by writing diets. Its very specialized and takes talent. Nobody here will do that for you for free.

So take the guidelines above that Turbo has written and create meals. Each meal should have a protein, a fat and a carb (not always but lets just get you eating before anyone gets overly complicated with carb cycling etc..). Do the math and figure out your portions.

We'll check your math.

I'll give you a sample of what I eat on a training day though. I am 5'11 and weigh 260lbs.

Meal 1 8AM
2 Cups Egg Whites, 3 whole eggs
1 large bagel or 4 waffles or 2 cups oatmeal
Bucket O'Coffee
Sometimes some cranberry juice

Meal 2 11AM to Noon depends on schedule
7 ounces of steak
1 cup of black beans
1 cup of rice
1/2 tomato
2 Peanut Butter Poptarts

Meal 3 4PM (pre training meal)
Pork Spareribs - no clue weight cause of bones. Usually 5 bones?
1 Package of graham crackers
1 Cranberry Redbull
Helios Nutrition Pre-Workout Supp

Intra-Training snackage
chocolate frosted poptarts
tums lol
1/2 powerade 1/2 water mix

Post workout Meal
Sometimes a shake of 2 scoops whey isolate if I feel like death on drive home
More peanut butter poptarts
or if I make it home without wanting to eat my arm

8oz 93% ground beef
1 cup white rice
Peas mixed in

Before bed
2 to 3 cups of strawberry greek yogurt

Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks

Dude don't just eat what I eat. We are vastly different people. I train to compete in powerlifting. The amount of calories I can burn through is much more than you. Additionally, I have way more muscle than you which means just to maintain I need more calories than you.

Just use it as a guideline. You see each meal has a protein source, a fat source and a carb source.
