I don't know if this helps, but I've made this change to my diet:

- recommend protein powder - all in one drink, immediately after a workout
- drink juice rather than water (I don't drink soda, I might have soda 5x's a year... max)
- 2 tbsp of canola/olive oil (apperently helps absorb proteins or something like that)
- outside of your 3-4 meals a deal, try and fit in 2 mini meals in between. Usually a sandwich or fruit is great

Since I started that diet, I'm up about 10 lbs, but I'm having trouble gaining more mass than 10. I've been changing up my routine to work a little more on building muscle rather then endurance type workouts. But with this diet and my workout routine, other than injuries, I feel great.
