Hello all. I'm usually just a lurker, but noticed that there are many really knowledgeable members in this section.
Anyways, i've been lifting for around 4 years. Currently at 200lb's trying to get to around 210-215 before i cut. Here is my current diet.
7 am - Can of tuna with big glass milk and yogurt
11am - 50 gram protein shake
2pm- chicken breast and mashed potatos.
5pm - chicken breast or 1/2lb beef with mashed potatos with big glass milk
7pm - post work out shake with yogurt mixed in
9pm - can of tuna mixed with mashed potatos and big glass milk
11pm - bed time shake
Now my problems are I can not gain anymore after 200. I am thinking of a cycle of Halotest - 25 and a PCT. Anyone tried this? Also I am really having trouble eating. I feel like I can not physically eat anymore.
How many calories is that? Just curious because you have almost 40 pounds on me and that seems light for a bulking diet.
Yesterday's Diet:
7 AM: Shake (1 cup oats, 1 banana, 1 tbsp. PB, 1 scoop Whey in Milk) and 1 hard boiled egg
9 AM: 2 Bananas
11 AM: 1/2 Serving (310 calories) of True-Mass shake
12 PM: 12 Chicken Strips, 1 box of French Fries, and a Grilled Chicken Salad
2 PM: 1/2 Serving (310 calories) of True-Mass shake
4 PM: 1 whole Digiorno Pizza (12") + Veggies (sometimes carrots or asparagus)
5 PM: workout + protein after
7 PM: ~12 Oz. NY Strip and mashed potatos
Sometimes I'll throw in another weight gain shake before bed.
One thing you may want to look at is something called "Black Hole" from Controlled Labs. Its supplement that will suppress the feeling that tells you you're full. I have no trouble eating though, so I can't vouch for this product.
I guess some "help" would get you past a plateau, but I have no experience with that stuff.

I'd do a whey protein shake for your 7am meal to help rebuild your muscle. And you may even want to do a casein protein shake sometime in the middle of the night. And like coachk has mentioned, get more complex carbs like brown rice and oatmeal.

I don't want to have 4 shakes a day, so would you reccommend eating the tuna and milk post workout? Basically just switching the 7am with the post workout.
If your having problems gaining weight, have complex carbs like potato or pasta with every meal, increase your protein intake, add a fat meal like steak or beef, and swap your protein shakes for weight gain shakes, except for the bedtime shake. Eat every 2- 2 1/2 hours. The 7am to 11am to 2 pm meals seem like a stretch. I would move 11am to 9:30am and 2pm to 12pm, and just move the rest to 2-1/2 hours after each remaining meal. This is how I got from 200 to 220lbs on my bulking cycle earlier this year. You're gonna have to buy a lot more food. Keep your shakes to 3 maximum.
