Is this ok or should I stray away? Also what about tato skins? (half of the potato cut and cheese and bacon bits cooked inside the potato?

Just trying to cut back all bad foods and get the best gains I can out of my workout.

If you're looking for mass, you'll probably want to give yourself high protien with medium calories and carbs and low fat. Of course, that depends on how much energy you're expending and on your metabolism. Maybe have a look at the FT suggestions for a mass-building diet after filling in your personal details? In the sandwhich meat category, I've tried to stick with turkey and chicken--preferably with as little added salt as possible.
