I go to a gym regularly, I train hard, eat right, but I am not getting any bigger. Why?
I get asked this question a lot, by both men and women who
are desperately trying to put some solid muscle mass on their bones.
The key building muscle mass is to eat, eat, and eat some
more. 99% of the people who call themselves hard gainers are really just under
eaters. A lot of guys will skip breakfast, have a small lunch or snack during
the day, then pig out and stuff themselves at dinner and think that they are
eating a lot.
You need to eat something every 2 hours during the day to
build maximum muscle mass. Eating frequently will make eating lots of food much
easier.
When you want to build maximum muscle mass you should aim to
eat 1.5 grams of protein and 25 calories per pound of bodyweight each day.
Don't just stick to low fat "diet foods". Eat everything! You need
lots of calories and it will be too difficult to eat a high calorie diet with
just low fat foods.
Protein drinks are a great way to get extra protein and
calories in your diet. I suggest that you use the big 5 pound containers of
whey protein powder because these are the best value for your money.
When bulking up you should aim to eat at least 50 grams of
protein and 1000 calories each morning for breakfast. This will start your day
off right for maximum muscle building. It really doesn't matter what you eat,
just as long as you eat. If you are in a hurry you can have a big protein
drink, 2-3 slices of toast with peanut butter, and a piece of fruit. Or if you
have the time you can cook up steak, eggs, hash browns, pancakes, etc.
For lunch at work or school you can cook foods such as
chicken, beef, turkey, rice, pasta, etc. ahead of time and put them in a
Tupperware container to reheat in the microwave. Make sandwiches such as tuna,
roast beef, turkey, etc. Mix a protein shake and take it with you in a thermos
or shaker bottle. Take a protein / meal replacement bar. Take fruits and
vegetables i.e. apples, bananas, carrots, etc.
For dinner you can eat basically any meat and potatoes type
of meal. Get some cook books and lean to make some good mouth watering meals.
The tastier you make your meals the easier it will be to eat the volume of food
necessary to build maximum muscle mass.
Good snacks to eat during day include dried fruit and nuts,
cottage cheese, yoghurt, cereal and milk, fresh fruit, protein bars, and
protein shakes, etc.
