I guess I am afraid of putting on fat instead of muscle.

Noon - Lunch: Pesto Pasta with a Rocket Salad
5.30pm - Insanity Workout
7pm - Tea: Beef Medallion with Wholewheat Noodles
I know that's only 3 meals a day so would people suggest a snack around 2.30 (something like Peanut Butter on 1x Wholemeal Toast) and perhaps something similar at around 8.30pm (instead of Peanut Butter I'd have an Egg)?
Also, can someone advise on the best alternative to those £40 Protein Drinks? It's just that I can't afford to spunk that much money ATM. I've notices a few people mention Nesquick in some Skimmed Milk - will that suffice?
Cheers y'all!

You need more protein in there mate,especially at breakfast.
What protein shake are you talking about? I pay 45/50 quid for 5kg.

Giant sets x 5 (3 exercises back to back,no rest period)
Chins - failure
pressups - failure
Squats - 50kg bar to failure
What is failure?

Are you being 'out there' with that question mate or genuinely asking lol.
To answer basically until you can perform no more concentric reps with full ROM (range of motion) unaided or without any cheating, ie jerking/body swaying etc.

How does my diet plan, above, appear on first glance, as I know FI made reference to needing more protein.

Yes he right as you'd expect mate re the protein.
Given you're over 16 stone and not that tall (about 5'8"-9" at a guess ?) you should lose some weight on that for now, but if I'm being critical, you won't get optimum results.
To add to FI's comments, you seem to have typical endomorphic tendencies, as such you need (ime) to be more careful than most, lots of hidden sugars in the form of 'malto/dextrose and fructose and also not enough EFA's in that diet (I'd personally lose the chorizo), you'll get away with it for a time as it's probably a lot better than you're used to, don't forget, nothing wrong with just having breakfast, dinner, tea, supper, calories over 24 hours (and even 7 days) are more of a defining factor.
Stick with it for now but personally I'd swap the milk and nesquick to about 1/2 an hour after your workout, not a huge deal if you don't, there's data that backs up either way, just would be my personal preference, and normally glycogen levels are topped up within 24 hours anyway one pathway or another.
My advice for decent fat loss for endo's would be something like this :-
Breakfast - 3 scrambled eggs and spinach and a scoop of whey.
Dinner - Chicken fillet, veg or salad in whole meal pitta.
snack on some nuts and seeds
Train
1/2 hour later Nesquick in milk if that's what you prefer, personally I'd just have whey in water
Evening mealLean protein source from Salmon or oily fish, Poultry, small baked spud, plenty of fibrous veg.
Supper, some form of slow digesting protein, Cottage Cheese, Quark with FRESH pineapple.
Only other supps I would use would be some kind of fish oil supps if you won't eat oily fish mate.
Dirty Harry said:OK mate, well tinned tuna and cod aren't the greatest sources of EFA's, but Salmon is sound (with skin), salmon every other day will suffice.
Pancakes, you like pancakes ?
