Well let me start with some stats, I know weight itself isn't the be all end all in a diet...
I've been working out about 6 1/2 weeks doing Rippetoes, I weigh between 136-139 pounds, I have paid no attention to my diet whatsoever. I have tried to eat a bit more but even that I let slip most of the time. I know that's bad. I smoke about a pack a day. For supplements I've been taking Animal Pak vitamins (this is my last pack today I'm switching to a regular multivitamin), and flaxseed because my knees cracked a lot and I thought that might make it a little better. I'm twenty years old.
Squat: 260lbs. 3x5
Deadlift: 280lbs. 1x5
Bench: 130lbs. 3x5
Row: 155lbs. 3x5
Shoulder Press: 100lbs 3x5
I have gotten stronger (from what? but all that matters is not the end weight but the improvement I guess), and I know it's a long, long process, but I think I could advance and gain weight much more quickly with a proper diet. I just have no clue howto diet and when I read about it I'm just left confused. Over the next few days I'm going to try to track what I eat and put it into some sort of workout journal. I read that a diet is specific to the person so... outside of eating a lot I don't really know what to do, and I want to get big not fat (although I realize I'll gain some fat). Rippetoes has given me decent form on the exercises themselves though I think.
