it sounds okay to me, but i personally don't fool with the maltodextrin / dextrose supplements. i gain most of my weight (on the rare occassion i need to go up in weight) by just increase caloric intake. usually double protein, increase weights in the gym by 1.5 to 2x's. I also eat more carbs (keeping it in proper balance with fiber).

thats pretty much all i do. i do cut back on cardio a bit ( so i burn fewer calories)

Ramzee

do you feel its dangerous to mess about with the malt and dex supplements? I am still not sure about going ahead with it. But seriously it's incredibly hard for me to gain weight, and I eat like a machine!

That is not 6 meals a day, nor is it enough calories. Your number one supplement in your diet should be food, not something else. Worry about eating good, stop worrying about supplements.

okay- heres my basic plan (this is what i use to maintain weight):

first meal (6:30am): protein shake, granola bar (organic)

Breakfast(8am): 2 Whole grain waffles with agave nectar, 3 pieces of bacon, 2 eggs, fruit juice 12 oz(cranberry, grapefruit, OJ)

snack (10:30am):Half protein shake, granola bar

Lunch(12:30pm): Veggie sub (cucumbers, onions, carrots, red cabbage, spinach, raddiches, bell peppers, mushrooms)on whole weat bread with oil and vinegar, cous cous (or tabouleh), 20 oz. water, fruit (mango, bananna).

snack (3:30pm): other half of protein shake, mixed nuts- dry roasted, no salt.

Dinner (7pm): Sushi (usually eel and mackrel rolls, some tuna, brown sushi rice only- no soy sauce), green onion soup (made with chicken broth-low sodium, low fat), watercress and black bean salad, 20 oz. water, 12oz. green tea, steamed pork dumplings, steamed veggies.

snack (10pm): herbal tea, whole wheat toast and fig jam.


now, obviously if you're trying to gain weight, i'd replace dinner with something more italian. you know, pastas and more proteins. prob should add some more carbs and more protein to lunch as well. could also change the half shake snacks to whole shakes.

as for the maltodextrin and stuff, just drop it. they are a waste of money. you can gain weight by eating right and supplementing with a good protein shake or gainer shake.

Note: when increasing protein, keep fat low. when increasing carbs keep fiber high (20-25g fiber/day) and if you are going to supplement, take a good multi-vitamin. GNC Mega Men Sport is a good one since it has an energy blend and a glutamine, taurine, etc added.

Just remember the supplements are meant to work with a good diet not substitute for a poor diet. If that were what they were meant to do they would be called substitutes. Be sure to take in at least 1 gram of protein for every pound of lean body weight. If your don't know your lean body weight (not total body weight!) get your body fat measured and figure it out. Other than that you might want to keep the carbs really low after about 5 pm since you don't need the energy.

for lunch try two peanut butter sandwhiches on whole grain bread. some fruit, (if you can eat them cold- or have a way to warm them) canned beans/ baked beans, granola bar, water.
