Default my diet and workout plan

Hey there everyone im just looking for some advice on nutrition. Right now im not following any set diet plan, I am however eating right for the most part. Lots of lean meats fruits and veggies etc. Right now im looking for some tips on how to get started with counting calories and setting up an eating plan.

I lift weights 3 times a week mon/wed/fri and do some interval running on tues/thurs. I guess my goal right now is to pack on some muscle over the next couple of months and after that ill start cutting the fat.

I weigh about 205 pounds, 5'11'' tall and im 25 years old. Also another thing that makes my workouts/eating more difficult is the fact that I work shift work. 12 hour shifts few days on few days off both days and nights.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If your looking to pack on some mass you need to be eating a lot of protein and carbs. I would eat around 4 large meals a day. Also grab your self some 100% Whey to assist you with your protein consumption. Should get "minimum" 1g protein, 2g carbs, per pound of bodyweight, but your gonna want more.

Also I would ditch the Tues/Thurs Cardio and rest on those days, then do around 15-20 minutes of HIIT Cardio sat. and sun.

No need to cut the fat later. The Cardio on the weekends and your weekly workout will keep the fat down.
