3 Easy Ways to Gain Weight and Muscle
3 super easy ways to gain weight and muscle. If you want to gain weight and muscle for sport or just for looks then these 3 tips will really help. There are a lot of misconceptions and myths about gaining weight that could be holding you back from your ideal body.
Ok, so let’s gain some weight and muscle.
1. The first thing to do if you want to gain weight is to simply eat more. You want to increase the amount of calories you intake by at least 500 per day and eat over 6 meals per day. That means that every 2-3 hours that you are awake you want to be consuming some food. If you are not eating more, then you will not add any weight. Of course you need to be consuming the right foods and at a ratio of 45% carbohydrates, 35% proteins and 20% fats. Some good examples of each:
· Carbs – Rice, bread, potatoes
· Proteins – Steak, Chicken, Tuna
· Fats – Olive oil, nuts and peanut butter.
2. Another easy way to gain weight is to incorporate the right muscle building exercises. Two such exercises, as recommended by bodybuilders worldwide, are the squat and the dead lift. These exercises are must do’s if you want to build muscle mass because they stimulate the major muscle groups and puts your body into the optimal muscle building mode.
3. Using supplements are a great way to pack on weight easily and effectively. Only use supplements that have been around for a while and tested, such as protein shakes, powdered creatine, multi vitamins and fish capsules. These will allow you to train much harder and gain more weight.

How can I gain weight and muscle without using Whey protein?
Now most people know that Whey Protein can help gain easy muscle and weight hence the creatine promoting weight and muscle gain. However, Whey protein is expensive, and so are the other protein powders/bars on the retail market. What are ways I can gain weight (healthy weight, not fat; I have a healthy diet) and muscle (I work out regularly) without using Whey protein?

Eat foods containing a lot of protein like chicken and eggs even stoffers little personal lasagnas are pretty good protein wise another good protein to try is casein take it before you go to bed cause its a slow digesting protein and keeps you fueled till u can eat the next morning.

The biggest factor when you’re trying to gain weight is how many calories you take in over the course of the day, not just necessarily how much protein you’re taking in.
You want to have enough protein to support muscle growth (good starting point is .7 - .9 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight per day), but more importantly you gotta eat more. At least 500 more calories than you expend every day, and it’s best to make sure this comes from good, healthy food sources if you want to minimize fat gain.
