I'm 25 years old, 6'4", 160lbs, tall and skinny, I can literally eat anything and never see one pound gained or loss. I'm creating this thread to try and give myself some extra motivation, becuase I really want to accomplish this goal. I'm really trying to add some weight and gain some upper body size and strength. Pretty much all around size and strength, but for now I'd like to focus on upper body. I'm not trying to get shreaded or be perfect, I'm just tired of being too skinny.

I have taken out all crap/fast food, no more soda, candy, etc. out of my diet and joined the gym, I used to never eat breakfast till around 9-10am after I had already been awake since 6am.

I'm a mechanic and commute a over an hour to work. So getting good healthy food is my biggest concern, when out and on the road. Does anyone have any good easy tips for packing a good easy lunch's and snacks for work, high in protien, carbs? I don't have alot of down time at work, very active.

Right now I'm taking: Creatine pills. I'm not sure of the Calories I'm consuming on the following food cause I haven't counted, but the Protein intake is around 180grams, I've been doing this for a couple days now and I already feel hungry all the time, even after a big meal. (I was never like this before a couple days ago, I almost never had a big appetite.) So something tells me, something here is working. Also starting taking

Breakfast : Protein shake in the morning, 3 whole eggs on whole wheat.
Snack : Raisins, Granola health bar
Lunch : Chicken breast grilled, large salad, some more raisins
Snack : To-go Albacore Tuna in water 2 servings
Dinner : Pasta large serving, Protein shake
Before bed : Peanut butter on whole wheat.

^^On top of at least 8 glasses of water per day.

I was planning on switching out the pasta dinner, with chicken or lean ground beef every other night. Any other suggestion would be appreciated.

Or any other workout routines that you have been trying to add weight and muscle has used with good success please share.

Thanks guys,

James
