yeah that's a pretty solid diet mate. i wouldnt even bother having the shakes cus it looks like you're getting plenty of protein from real foods. i've cut protein powder out of my diet completely and i'm having good gains, but each to their own.

my 2c worth

Cheers for that Gymsta, much appreciated mate...

I hit a platue at 82-85 kgs before starting the shake.

Have been the ecto that struggles to put on that oh so wanted muscle mass, so I'm keen to stick with it, but only if money allows.

Thanks again.

I take it you're not that big on fruit and veg intake.

yeah you cant neglect the fruit nd veg mate. start having a serving of fruit or veg with every meal :nod:

Your diet consists of grains and proteins both of which present an acidic load to the blood, its important to balance those acids with alkaline rich veggies and fruit.Also veggies give you a healthy dose of phytochemicals that are essential for optimal physiological functioning.Id aim for a serving about 1/2 cup with every feeding opportunity

I typically buy my veggies for the week and cut them up into separate containers meaning very little preparation for the week, some veggies spoil quicker than others though so its a bit of trial and error.

Yeah found that. Carrots last for ages but beans not so much. Buy veges that go off faster, less but more frequently.

Cheers for that Elite121, I think I was just getting a bit carried away there with the protein and all that, it didn't even cross my mind to add the fruits and veg lol was never big on eating fruits and vegs but will get some of that stuff in there :nod:

yeah it's easy to neglect the fruit and veg when you're trying to gain mass, but they're vital in maintaining good health.
