[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 16-year-old DS is 5'10" and 135lbs three months ago.  Over the summer, he followed the following diet and gained 25lbs, mainly muscle, by eating around 5,000 calories a day:

6am:  One avocado, one banana, one apple, seven white eggs with edamame, zuchini, and spinach,

7am:  workout at the gym

9am:  two glasses of goat milk, one avocado, one banana, one piece of toast with peanut butter,

10am:  60 minutes of endurance training,

12pm:  one pound of chicken with steamed veggies, and quinoa,  and a glass of milk,

1pm:  take an hour's nap,

3pm:  one avocado, one banana, three servings of almond, pistachio, and sunflower seeds,

4pm:  45 minutes of lifting weight,

6:30pm:  one pound of either chicken or tuna/salmon/lobster, steamed vegetable, quiona, and a glass of milk

He had his physical last Friday, and weighed in at 160 pounds.  I don't think it is that difficult, but YMMV.[/quote]

Thanks so much for this! Some really good ideas. He made a huge effort to eat more this summer but I think his diet definitely needs some tweaking. I want to say he was eating about 4K calories based on his tracking, which probably is not quite enough. [/quote]

4K of GOOD calories, not the calories from junk and processed food.[/quote]
