Lunch at work of meat/potatos/pasta
Evening meal at home or work of similar type.
And random snacks inbetween like chocolate/crisps/cheese/yoghurts
I think you should cut down on snacks and get a good brekkie. Although, im no expert.
I think I should too........
Would a supplement drink work as breakfast?

Low fat/high protein foods I reckon. If you go to the gym 5 times per week then i doubt you will get fat!

Here's what im eating at the moment, and this isn't even a bulking diet. If i was bulking i'd be eating alot more. This is what the average man who trains doesnt realise. To get big you have to eat ALOT. The gym is the easy part, eating large quantities of food every 2-3 hours is the hard part...
MEAL 1 (breakfast): 150g porridge oats (made with water), stir in 70g whey protein. 1 banana.
MEAL 2 (morning): 300g chicken breast. 250g brown rice. Large salad with 1 table spoon of olive oil.
MEAL 3 (late morning): 80g whey protein (in water) with 1 tablespoon of flax oil blended in. 1 low GI bagel (tesco). 1 apple.
MEAL 4 (lunch): as MEAL 2.
MEAL 5 (pre-workout): 50g maltodextrin. 40g whey. 5g creatine. 5g glutamine.
MEAL 6 (post-workout): as MEAL 5.
MEAL 7 (evening): 300g steak. Large portion veg. If carbs needed: 250g baked potato.
MEAL 8 (before bed): 70g whey with 1 tablespoon of flax oil (in water).

I agree with this totally. I was told I was underweight when I joined the gym and found the eating REALLY difficult. I wasn't used to eating that amount that often!

Surely if your bulking and eating alot, you have to be lifting weights alot or you will get fat. How do you know what the correct ratio is?

By working out you much calories you need. Lots of stuff like BMR, thermic effect of food, how much energy you expend with physical attivity etc.
OPbviously there are many variables so its not easy to work out, you can't say you need x amount of carbs, x amount of protein, you can work it out to a certain extent then try it, and adapt it to see how it goes to suit an individual.

You dont lift weights alot when your bulking, you lift large weights, low reps and high weights
cutting you do high reps and what ever weights really to tone up and cut the fat back

fat doesn't turn into muscle. They are two seperate things. 12st and your fat? are you short? Putting it simply, To burn fat you need to have a negative calorific ratio, two, options, increase the energy expendature, or decrease intake. BEst thing is to have an healthy balanced diet, and then increase physical activity.
