in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
I am looking for some nutrition ideas! I lift three times a week and am looking to gain about five pounds.

Any female lifters out there care if I look through your food diary? I try to eat between 2000 to 2500 a day and get lots of protein. I'd love examples of diaries or new friends who eat that or more.

Feel free to browse through my diary, too!

    Yes, I need more calories than you eat! Great diary, though. Yum!

    I'm a male and currently cutting, but I try to keep my protein intake high and I'm eating right around what you're planning to shoot for, so feel free to take a look. Diary is public.

    Swimmermama, you eat like these guys you will gain 5 plus some! Jeez boys you need a lady to treat you right. Cook for you and keep you off those cookies and candy bars ;) I will open mine so you can see what I eat. My calories are low for you to gain. But increasing healthy foods would be good for you.

    Public diary here as well. A lot of my dinners are from recipes I've entered separately but I don't mind sharing.

    Feel free to look at mine but its not very admirable lately, I've been logging haphazardly. I really don't care.

    My friend gained 50 pounds in a year. Minus the diabetes he got stronger. Just eat everything in sight and achieve your goals!

    Pretty sure mine is open if you want to look, I wouldn't call myself a full-on lifter per-say but I do strength training three times per week with CrossFit and eat 100% healthy gluten free. I think you'd need to up the cals a bit (and protein) from what I eat to gain - I get between 2200-2400 per day.

    You'll see lots of rice, meat, veggies, and peanut butter :)

    Evidently not female, but happy to have any and all lifter diaries to browse, I log my food regularly so you'll always have something to look at! :)
