What else do you guys use during the day? Basaically right now i'm on:
1x protein shake (whey protein powder, yogurt, frozen blueberries, milk)
I take that shake to work because at around 4 or so I get hungry again. I eat about 5-6 times a day and by 4pm i need something again because I will start working out at around 5pm or so.
1x recovery drink (endurox)
recently i've been taking the endurox during workouts because I find myself sometimes not having enough calories in my system to push myself. I'm definietley not taking in enough during the day.
My basic diet looks like this:
6am: Cereal/oatmeal
9:30am: Banana, granola bar, rice crackers
12:00pm: sandwich, yogurt, vegtable, fruit
2:30pm: vector energy bar, 2x vegtable
4:00pm: protein shake
5:00pm: workout
7:00pm: dinner (I eat quite a bit of chicken breast or white fish)
I need something more because this is not enough. I'm maintaining my weight, but I could stand to put on pounds. It's not like i'm huge anyway. I'm around 140lbs right now, 5'8".
Anything additional you can suggest?

i just don't know how you're getting enough calories/protien in your system.
Your 6 meals are great though. Is dinner IMMEDIATELY after your workout?
I try to get a high calorie/protien protein shake or weight gainer within 20 mins of my workout.
I also take a slow metabolizing meal in before sleeping to help during sleep time.
I workout in the morning, which makes eating a bit easier throughout the day and fitting in 2 protien shakes.
I have been using the "super pump" preworkout powder, and it DEFINITELY provides a lot of energy and pump during the workout.
