Muscle Mass Gaining Tips

By James Jones

Everyone wants a quick plan to learn how to gain weight. But the reality is you have to put in your time and pay your dues at the dinner table. It doesn't have to be complex and difficult though. Here's a plan thats designed to be simple and effective for gaining weight quick.

The key is to eat lots of meals per day. You want a total of actually 6. Your breakfast, lunch, and dinner strong meals should all consist of at least 30-50 grams of protein from primarily a meat source. Just as the 3 above exercises are your backbones, these 3 meat meals are your eating backbones. In addition to your meat, you should eat big portions of carbohydrates and some fat in the same meals.

Now in between your 3 strong meals you need to consume 3 minor meals, such as a protein shake or a couple of protein bars, or essentially some snack which is going to contain another minimum of 30-50 grams of protein, but you are allowed to have this in protein shake form or other easy, convenient protein forms. And the carbohydrate amount need not be as heavy. This is the ideal eating plan for how to gain weight and muscle.

Now let's talk about the big three meals. This means eating rather heavy at breakfast, lunch and dinner. You want to add food that is going to contribute to weight and muscle gain and the simple way to do this is just to add a large serving of protein to each meal. For instance at breakfast if you normally just eat cereal and toast, you're going to have to start throwing some eggs in the mix.

At breakfast, you need at least three eggs, if not more. For lunch, if you normally have a burger, then your going to have to double it and have two burgers. And for dinner, if say you normally have something like pasta, then your going to have to add a hefty amount of meat in the sauce to get that protein in. If you usually have a serving of protein at dinner, say a chicken breast, then double it and have two chicken breasts. Basically your upping your protein intake with solid, strong weight gaining food. On thing to be stressed again is that you need to make sure you are getting alot of pure protein. Eating fatty and fried foods will not help you.

We need to reiterate how important this next point is. If your serious about gaining weight, then in between your meals, sometime during the day you'll want have a snack in between meals. One way is to down a high calorie protein shake. The other thing you can do is have a fruit, and some peanut butter. But you need to incorporate some kind of protein in the diet.

The mathematics require you to eat more calories than you burn. You'll basically force your body to gain weight on this program if you are consistent with it and stick to it day in and day out for at least 6-8 weeks. Eating this way and combining basic weight lifting exercises can create a stronger and much bigger physique. - 16887
