I'm the opposite of this. I need to work really hard to keep from bulking up.

My suggestion would be pretty straight forward: eat. Have a large breakfast that has plenty of fiber (oatmeal, whole wheat toast, whole wheat cereal), protein (think turkey sausage, eggs, lean ham, milk, etc.), and don't forget your multivitamin. I do not suggest any caffeine. If you have trouble waking up in the morning, go to bed earlier and exercise in the morning. Meal 2 would be about 2.5 hours after breakfast and should have more protein and healthy carbs. Lunch should be a balance of protein, carbs, and fats, maybe a sandwich and a v8. Afternoon snack should be maybe a protein shake. Dinner should be kinda small. Maybe a chicken breast, 1/2 peas, and 1/2 cup broccoli. Then have a snack of dried fruit and nuts about 2.5 hours before bed.
