Hi, I have recently started...

Question
Hi,
I have recently started weight training, as I want to be more comfortable with my body, and my overall appearance. I am doing various exercises to increase strength, as well as build 揵ig muscles?if you will. With my busy schedule I have little or no time to eat properly. I know that eating correctly however is a vital part of building muscle. I have read a lot on the matter of nutrition, and I think I have a good understanding of it. However, I have a few questions. First, I only really have time to eat one to two good meals a day in which I can eat my protein and carbs, as well the other stuff, is that ok? Or by doing so am I limiting the results I will see? Additionally, I know that you are supposed to have at my weight about 120 grams of protein per day and X amount of carbs and so on and so forth, but what happens if I eat the grams of the amount of an amount of food, but all together I have to eaten lets say the 2500 calories I am supposed to have. Does this affect me in any way? Also I have some another concern regarding the type of protein I need to eat. For example if I consume 20 grams of protein from soymilk rather then 20grams from fish, is the 20 grams from the fish better or is it the same as the protein from the soymilk?
I also have another question; do males as they get older lets say from about 14 to 18 gain muscle mass naturally?  

Answer
Hi,

Regrettably, your questions are so far out of my expertise, I have no information I can give you to answer your question. I wish you the best of luck in finding your answer, but I mainly know more about what happens if a person eats so little that they become malnourished to the point where you are close to death.
