John berardi sent me this...I thought it was worth passing on:

Mistake #1: Eating Too Few Calories.
Most people who want to get big simply eat too few calories.

Mistake #2: Cupboards Are Bare.
Most people live like Old Mother Hubbard….not even Harry Houdini could summon calories from thin air.

Mistake #3: Failing To Plan Meals.
Not eating enough is one thing. But why don’t most people eat enough? Because they fail to plan their meals!

Mistake #4: Limited Food Choices.
Because of convenience, social conditioning, food associations, etc. many people only eat a few foods each day, limiting the number of calories they’re eating dramatically and limiting their vitamin and mineral intake...nutrients which are necessary for GROWTH!

Mistake #5: Eating Infrequently.
Most people eat only 3 "squares" a day. As you probably know, our societal feeding structure is centered on the 3-meal day; breakfast, lunch, and dinner....not on growth!

Mistake #6: Mood Eating.
Most people eat based on their mood and/or some subjective feelings of hunger. They don’t eat based on what their bodies need to grow.

Nice post. Thanks for the tips
