Healthy fats can be obtained from foods like peanuts, cashews, and olive oil. We're talking about gaining weight without getting fat which will make you more muscular, not just bigger.
Eat the right kind of fats. Thank you,. Though it's a myth that protein builds muscle, it is an essential part of your diet. If you aren't tracking, you never know how many calories you're taking in daily and if you do start gaining fat, you don't know how much to cut. however I have now upped my intake to around 3,000 per day – Extremely hard to hit as I refuse to eat crap foods or high fat foods. You want a bigger, healthier looking body--not a thin frame with a bit of a paunch. I am such a clean eater that it is difficult for me to get my Caloric intake… I am 28yrs old Male 155, I was able to put on 10 pounds and keep it so I am around 153 – 155 now. If you waste your time eating foods that have too much volume, it's going to be a real struggle to meet your calorie requirements, and this will hinder your ability to build muscle.
I’m not a fan of weight gainers because they’re just full of junk calories (mainly carbs). Any advice on this?
For guys who do require the very high calorie intakes to build muscle tissue, you must get your hands on the most calorie dense foods available. I have a great training program and worked on form and have all the right keys except for my calories. For vegetarians, protein can be found in soy products such as tofu as well as in combinations of foods, such as rice or corn with beans.
It is very true that you'll be putting the breaks on gaining weight if you're nutrition intake is impaired. Protein-rich foods include meat, cheese, milk, fish, and eggs. I much prefer eating real food, and just stick to calorie-dense foods like… Red meat Grains like brown rice and quinoa Oils like coconut oil and olive oil Avocado Whole-fat dairy Multi-grain pasta and bread Almonds and almond butter Bananas White and sweet potatoes If you focus on these types of foods in your meal planning, you should have no trouble reaching your daily caloric needs. am i right? And also when i bulk should i do cardio and abs? i heard someone told me that when you bulk, you don’t do cardio because it burns your muscles too.
I know protein powder helps to build muscle but have been found to contain harmful products, such as MSG, and they aren’t complete foods. Yeah you’ll speed up the process of “filling out” by what you’re doing.
Hi Mike, Its unclear as to which is the best method of bulking. Go for high-protein foods to fill up. I was probably intaking in around 1,800 calories a day before putting me in a deficit, and working out at the gym 5 days a week pumping hard about an hour a time. Can you clarify whether it is better to be gaining 0.5 lb a week opposed to 1 lb. Maximise the avocados, dairy products, nuts (including peanut butter), and meats; stay away from ice cream, fries and fatty junk foods. If you're looking for a treat, good alternatives are bran muffins, yogurt, fruit pies and granola bars.
When i do cutting i should stay away from carbs foods like rice, bread, pasta, mashed potato or any foods with starch. It is extremely frustrating. It's a building block of our entire body: muscles, bones, skin, hair, and blood. Please ask any questions or give any advise that might enhance what I am doing as this has been a very long road. However, there is a clear difference in getting bigger and getting more muscular. Is there anyway to gain muscle with whole foods? I’m just wondering because protein powder gives me gas and will probably shorten your lifespan as it is in its natural form. If i go down the 0.5 lb path, would i end up with a lot less fat to cut? Which makes it the most ideal, effective, and efficient plan?
I have a few questions because I think I have it now but am open to suggestions. It has taken me years to finally land here and I think with this 3000 calorie intake per day as well as the workout regiment and macros I should be on the right path? Before I have almost double the fat in my diet and I put on weight fast so I lowered it now to this. But I am landing around 220g of protein a day, 265g of carbs and 70g of fat. Most guys who start gaining body fat really reduce back on their calorie intake, which is a huge mistake because then they stop building muscle as well.
Go high-protein. Stay away from saturated fats (bad fats) gained from processed foods.
