I need to eat more than i am currently eating. I'm about to go to the gym and i know eggs with tortillas isn't enough for a bodybuilding workout. I'm about to eat some healthy carbs right now (oatmeal) and maybe also toast and peanut butter.
Any idea on what i should get when i go to the store?

Oatmeal is a good carb source, I would recommend post workout bcaa and water and then after 15 minutes consuming high glycemic index foods. After my workouts Ill consume a protein shake with milk. Protein for rebuilding and then Milk for aiding in getting the nutrients to the muscle groups. Your body is 300% more efficient after the anabolic window (15 minutes after your workout) try and capitalize on that. Mid morning and mid afternoon snacks will help as well.6

I don't eat anything before I work out... I have dinner and dessert when I get home.
Buy what ever takes your fancy!2 -
Exactly what jdmac said. It is a vrry good thing to have a high quality protein shake with milk after workouts as your body will make best use of it within half hour of your workout0

OP: Have you ever heard of the Elvis sandwich"?
If not, Google it. It's a grilled peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich that's attributed to Elvis Presley. It's very popular in Nashville.
Logs in at about 780 cals the way I make it. Lots of fat but also lots of carbs and protein in it. Just balance it out w/more carbs & protein and less fat the rest of the day.
Make it for you hubby now and then. He'll love you even more than he already does when you do.0
