How To Gain Weight

Until I started following a routine to eat, my gains were minimal. Once I set my eating times to a specific time during the day along with a protein boost, I could see the gains immediately. This sample program is a quick way to get your protein WAY up and generally increase your food intake. But it does not require the traditional sit down 6+ a day to eat 30 chicken breasts and spend all day cooking. I’ve got a full-time job at an corporate office. Cooking is not an option. Nor is eating 6+ times a day involving meals with Tupperware and the likes. I need food and I need it fast. Try this program on for size and notice the size you just might see.

Meal 1 - 7:00am

  • 1 packet of a meal replacement with 16 ounces of skim milk
  • 1 serving of whole grain cereal
  • 1 cup of non/low-fat yogurt
  • 1 piece of fruit

  • Meal 4 - 3:00pm

    • 1 large banana
    • Pre-Workout
    • 1 workout bar of your choice (preferably some carbs and 20+ grams of protein)

  • 1 workout bar of your choice (preferably some carbs and 20+ grams of protein)
  • Meal 5 - 6:00pm (Post-workout)

    • 1 serving of whey protein combined with 1 5gram serving of Creatine mixed in kool-aid. (This is an important meal and is designed for an insulin spike at just the right time to increase creatine and amino acid uptake by the muscle cells).

    • 3 to 5 grams of L-Glutamine

  • 3 to 5 grams of L-Glutamine
  • And that’s about it. Simple? You will be significantly increasing the protein uptake. Which means you should be increasing that water consumption as well. I’m not a fan of waking up at 1:00am to get more protein and therefore, I did not include anything beyond 10:00pm. I’ve noticed some significant gains from this program. My workouts were hardcore but my nutrition was lacking. By putting my eating times to a set schedule, I felt better during the day and was even more ready to tackle that workout later in the day.

    Good luck,
