hey all, well ive been told by many people that im too young to take the rage and pump etc etc.... and that i should just get a quality diet, i for 1 have no idea what to do for a diet. Im trying to bulk up and get as big as possible in about 4 months is there any super diet or some shit that will give me big gains? if not is there a normal diet i should be using, i really have no idea.
any help would be extremely appreciated and website links to diets or write them down here i dont know i just need one!!!!
thanks
with you being only 17 i would stick to whole foods and only use supplements sparingly. there's some good articles in the diet section (http://www.animalpak.com/html/main_sections.cfm?ID=4). here's a few i have found very useful...

Start off with a general protein consumption, around 1-1.5 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight. I like 1.5, works better for me. Carbs should be around 2-3 grams per lb of bodyweight, eat more if you want to, your bulking so you can never have enough. As for fats, try to consume a table spoon or 2 of olive oil with every meal. As for the foods, eat good clean whole foods like eggs, steak, chicken, whole milk (unless your lactose intolerant), Oatmeal, Rice, Peanut Butter, Whey Protein (good for on the go).

Right away, the first thing you need to do is realize that NOTHING will get you 'super huge in a matter of days'. Gaining quality mass takes time, persistence, and consistency. What would be best would be if you could post up your daily diet, meal by meal. We'll take a look and make adjustments, when necessary. No need to start on a brand new diet if your current one just needs a few tweaks.

Need to increase carbs by a lot. Add eggs for breakfast and oatmeal. Overall increase both protein and carbs.

off the get go, without even measuring your portion size, I can tell you that's really only about 100g protein and that's being really really generous...
gaining mass can't be done breakfast lunch dinner, it has to be more about meal partitioning and nutritional macros you put in your body.
something like:
meal 1: 6 whole eggs, 1/2 cup oats, 2 cups whole milk
meal 2: shake + pb sandwhich
meal 3: (preWO) 7oz protein 1/2 cup brown rice 1 cup broccoli 1 tbsp oiliveoil
meal 4: (postWO) shake with oats
meal 5: 7 oz protein 1 cup broccoli
meal 6: 2/3 cottage cheese, 4 eggs
i really just put that together in a matter of seconds but look around this forum for some solid diets.. you need to eat big if you wanna get big... you don't necessarily have to measure out your macros meticulously but know what you're putting in your body and how much of what it gives ya

5 meals per day is good, 6 or 7 is even better. Each meal should include a lean protein source like steak, eggs, chicken, fish, pork or milk, a good carb source like rice, yams, oatmeal, fruits and veggies, pasta or wheat bread, and healthy fats like oils, nuts and seeds. If you eat those things together 6 times you will blow up in size quickly. If you must supplement, focus on amino acid supps. BCAAs and EAAs during and after training and whey protein with or between meals will all pack on mass too. Don't make things more complicated than that. If you aren't growing, eat more. Period.
