I best get shopping!
Bought two 5kg packets of Sweet potatoes yesterday. I think they are brilliant baked, cooked or in moderate amounts washed and sliced and eaten raw. I use them as a replacement to whole wheat bread and brown rice when I get tired and want a different texture. So they go with veggies, eggs and the rest. Also they are easy to store and can be mashed or cooked in chunks. Price is very reasonable too.

If you've never tried them Dids try chipping them, quick squirt or two of 'one cal' oil to stop them sticking, then sprinkle with Cajun spices and chilli flakes and bake for around 20 minutes, really nice ;-)
Nervous Nedum said:Right, I could do with some diet advice.
Currently 71kg at 5'11 so could do with a bit of bulking up. Maintenance is 2500 calories so approx. 3000 for weight gain is needed.
This is what I have eaten today:
Breakfast- 2 slices wholemeal toast, orange juice
Workout
Post-workout- 300ml milk with 25g protein, banana
Dinner- 125g Brown rice, 200g veg, 150g skinless chicken breast
Tea- 200g salmon, 200g veg
Snack- 300ml milk with 25g protein
This brings my protein intake to 175g, carbs are at 165g but calories are just hitting 2000.
Where should I eat more/less? What should I eat differently? All advice is welcome and appreciated.

Protein at breakfast - 40g !! eggs would be good(6 whites 2 yolks)
Cut back on the milk and replace with decent protein(meats) and carbs.
Half the carbs at dinner and add them to your tea.
Before bed have porridge and protein powder

What are other good sources of carbs apart from brown rice? Are potatoes any good?
Thanks for the help mate.
