m a newbie, n i just started with the 5*5 workout last week.
need some suggestion abt wat kind a diet should i take along with it. m 66 kg in weight and 5 feet 11 inches in height..
as for diet, theres 2 ways to do it, you can get your high cals from carbs or protein.
I personally just eat whatever I want as fat aint an issue for me but for eating clean, heres an example of what mine was when intaking high carbs, i choose to get most from carbs as I find they give me better energy than fats do.
Now a lot of people will gain a lot of fat on the abvoe diet but for a skinny ecto like me thats not a problem and it shouldnt be at your weight either.
however if you find thats to much carbs and you gain to much fat from that, drop the carbs and cut back in the cals a little but keep the protein stable..
alternately i found i couldnt stomach that mant carbs all year round so id drop them to around 350 and up my fat and protein intake a little.
Also bare in mind you might not be able to stomach 4000cals a day to start with nor would I try to personally.
Start with 3000 cals a day and up the intake by 200-300 cals per week as after a few weeks of training you should find your appetite really starts to rise anyway providing your not overtraining.
Remember, if in doubt eat more...not less as you can probably get away with it because at 66kg your probably not in a desperate need for a 6 pack right now.
Hope this helps

to gain those extra calories you may want to invest in a good weight gainer shake...that can easily get you about 1500-2000 calories by themselves..eat calorie rich food high in protein and carbs...just watch the saturated fats and avoid alot of sugary products...oats, wheat, potatoes, pasta, meats, veggies, rice, cereals... here is a decent article
