Im losing too much dammit, Im gaining muscle and its toned however I still liked the Size I was before I started working out if that makes any sense??? Basically I was 13 Stone and now Im down the just over 12, I know it will be mostly fat Ive lost and I can tell off how things like my six pack is much more visible. But I want to now gain some size as well, I dont want to look like these Mens Health/Fitness cover guys, thats too thin!
My current routine is like:
Monday;
Flat Bench
Incline Bench
Machine Flys
Tricep machine pulldowns
Tricep Kickbacks
Shoulder press
Arnold Press
Crunches and various Ab work...
Wednesday;
Lat machine pulldowns
Overhand Rows
Bicep Curls
Hammer curls
Concentration curls
General Ab work ie crunches etc.
Friday;
Leg press,
Machine Hanstring Curls
Calf extensions
Thigh curl machine
Ab work
All sets are like 12 warmup at 50% then 8, 6, 4.
I know the answer is going to be diet, eat more of the right things. but I just cant seem to eat as much as people are telling me, im not that hungry! My mates doing really well with his routine but he is blending like 5 cans of tuna and protein powder and all sorts. Im gonna have a go at forcing it down but if anyone has any ideas they would be appreciated before I start throwing it all back up.

Squats are something im building slow confidence in as I dont have someone to show me what im doing, the people in my local kinda like to be left alone. My mates gonna show me when I go along with him.
Diet is along the lines of:
Breakfast;
Cup of oats with some Jam or a yoghurt thrown on,
Mid morning Snack;
Either sliced meat (turkey/beef etc) sandwich or flapjack with protein shake.
Dinner;
Can be anything from home made sanwiches when im in a rush or chicken/steak based meal (usually about 500g of meat) and rice with small veg that ill microwave at work.
Mid afternoon snack;
Another shake
Tea:
500g of lean meat, favourite is fillet steak :) or Venison and either steamed veg or rice.
Assorted drinks of coffee, tea, water (lots of)
Thats on a good day, unfortunately sometimes I miss out a couple of the meals if we have a deadline at work. Victim of enjoying my job im afraid :( I know I need to eat more but I dont really have time to prepare my meals, I start at 6 in the morning (up at five) and finish at six monday to friday. Im home around seven o clock and usually prett tired, then its to the Gym mon, wed, fri. I eat my main meal on those days at like half nine!
There is not enough hours in the day for my lifestyle I think :(
