How To Gain Weight
Ways To Gain Weight
I know that you don’t want to put on pounds of unwanted fat or do it the less than healthy way. You are looking for the healty way to gain weight. So now that we got that straight the absolute best way to gain weight is simply to put away more calories each and every day than you burn. As a guide to find out the amount of calories you need to eat every day is to take your current body weight and times it by eighteen. So if your current body weight is 150 pounds you would need to eat two thousand seven hundred calories. Some people claim that you need to be on a high protein diet but that just isn’t true. You must include massive amounts of carbs in your diet if you really want to gain muscle.
Break down your diet like this.. Just 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight, Kick up your carbohydrates to four grams for every pound that you weigh, and 20-30% of your caloric intake coming from good fat. Monitor your results bi-weekly. If you are getting fat lower your cals by 200-250 and watch what happens.
When gaining weight you need to know that even if your lifting weights and exercising you are are also going to put on some fat. It is imposable to gain weight without bringing some fat along with it. If you are eating nutritious meals it should minimize the amount of fat that you gain but it will still be there. The good thing is that new fat is easy to drop and you can shed it in about four-six weeks after which time you will be large and ripped.
When it comes to diet I like to keep it easy. Learn to keep from over complicating things with hard to put together recipes. Keep it simple and stay to easy foods like whole wheat pasta, lean ground beef,etc.. When you keep it simple like this it’s becomes much easier to stay focused because your not spending so much time in the kitchen. I just spent two days a week in the kitchen. Doing this will keep you from getting bored.
Your going to have to exercise if you want to pack on lean muscle mass. Lifting heavy weights three to four times each week will help you pack on on about 2-3 pounds a week. That may not sound like a lot but after ten weeks you can realistically pack on 20-30 pounds. Each time you go to your gym to lift weights you must to increase the amount of weight or increase the amount of reps that you do. So now if you put up 125 pounds for 6 repetitions the proceeding week you have to either do 130 pounds or put up 125 pounds for 7 reps. It is also very important to get your rest. To get large muscles they need plenty of time to repair themselves. Also over training is not productive as it actually causes muscle loss Over training can cause muscle loss That’s horrible news if your trying to get huge.
