I take it black...like my men.

Nuts are definitely a good start. Peanuts and peanut butter are dirt cheap. Almond/cashew butter is awesome too but a bit pricey. Oils, extra-virgin olive oil for salads, sesame oil for drizzling over stir fry, experiment! Fattier cuts of meat, go for chicken legs over chicken breast (which also works out cheaper, btw)…

What's the name of your program? Also, any particular reason you're going low carb? Best of luck anyway.

RE your hernia, I had one a few years ago. Minor operation, wasn't supposed to lift heavy for 6 weeks or so. After that back to normal. What you HAVE got to watch is that you're lifting properly. Whenever I lifted weight with really bad form, I would feel a tingle where my scar was. F**king Harry Potter style haha. Find a…

Good advice! Find foods that you really enjoy the taste of, and this'll make it so much less of a challenge. One thing that helped me was learning to cook properly. Then rather than thinking 'Oh no, I've got 1000 calories left', you can look forward to something delicious.

As others have said, what exercise are you actually doing? It seems the common mantra is '80% nutrition, 20% training' but you've gotta make sure that 20% is spot on! I'm at a similar weight to you and am gaining on around 2800-3000 calories. Post up your typical diet and training routine.

I've always used Impact Whey from myprotein.co.uk Cals: 98 Carbs: 2g Fat: 2g Protein: 20g For a 25g scoop according to MFP. It's cheap, mixes well and doesn't taste too bad either.

Looks solid to me! I'm bulking atm and 40% protein has been working for me. Remember to up your cals if you're not gaining, though! Also, unless you want to, you don't have to divide your meals up into 5-6 smaller ones. I prefer to have 3 bigger meals with a couple snacks thrown in. Totally up to you, though, so long as…
