This is a follow on from my previous question. I'm just expanding it so that I can get better help. I'm 23 have been training on and off since I was 17. I've just got back in to training now after a 6 month break. I did a bulk last time trained and gained far too much fat. I was on a weight gainer but I didn't like how I looked. I put weight on in my face and lower back; not attractive. I want to avoid this again.
My diet at the moment is:
1. 40g porridge oats, 200ml semi skimmed milk, blueberrys, half a banana, 15g of honey and two teaspoons of organic peanut butter.
2. handful of cashews, apple, 175ml yoghurt
3. 3 eggs scrambled on two wholemeal toast/ jacket potatoe and tuna/ two wholemeal wraps with tinned mackrel, mixed lettuce and handful of cheese
4. whey protein shake (training day)/ cashews and yoghurt
5. chiken/turkey/salmon/steak with sweet potato, red and green pepper, mushrooms, red onion, tomato (all in a wok)
6. pint of milk/ whey protein shake (non training day)
I need some direction with my meals, and some inspiration for my snacks and pre-bed meal. I train 4/5 days a week on a two on one off and cycle to the gym which is a 10mile roundtrip. I'm not sure if my diet is going to leave me in limbo with my weight or not? I want to lose fat and get lean.

1. Ditch the semi-skimmed milk and have a whey protein shake instead. Have a whole banana, only one spoon of peanut butter and ditch the honey. If you combine anything with your morning whey shake, it should be a berrie-based smoothie.
2. Replace the yoghurt with another whey shake - yoghurt is often full of milk sugar (lactose) as is milk.
6. have a whey shake instead of milk.
These changes will make a huge difference. Remember, a quality whey protein product is far lower in fat and carbs and has specific fat-burning, muscle-building and health-promoting qualities.

Thanks for the help but are honestly suggesting I should be having 4 Whey Shakes a day?
