Example of the 5 small meals? I'm vegetarian.
If you're vegetarian, look into meals involving hummus, beans, tofu, and eggs (or egg whites if you prefer), amongst others. All are extremely high in protein content, which is what you'll need to build muscle.
I eat 4 egg whites a day, ground up peanuts, been avoiding tofu lately because I heard that it had too much estrogen..
Scoop of protein powder.
Can recommend portion sizes? Why five meals instead of two or three?
I'd say eat at least 5 egg whites with a piece of whole wheat toast or oats for breakfast. For lunch, have a whole wheat hummus wrap. For a snack in mid afternoon, eat a ton of almonds or peanuts. For dinner, eat some sort of meal involving beans and tofu. Tofu is good for you. Before you go to bed, have a protein shake. Five meals helps your body gain muscle and weight, while also staying lean.
