A Hard Gainer Diet
Are you a hard gainer? If you hve been going to the gym for about three months and can’t seem to put on any weight, you may be a hard gainer.
The first thing you need to look at is your diet. A hard gainer diet is a little bit different then the average bodybuilder. Don’t get discouraged, it just means you have to focus a little more. you need to pay strict attention to a high calorie, muscle building diet. Most bodybuilders consume about 6 meals a day. As a hard gainer, you are going to want to consume about 8 meals a day. This may sound a little difficult, but it can be done rather easily.
To begin with, don’t try to start off eating 8 meals every single day. Work your way up to it. If you go from 4 meals a day to 8 meals in the same week you’ll put on unwanted body fat. If your eating 4 meals a day try adding an additional meal every week, and in 4 weeks you will be on target.
Scatter your meals evenly throughout the day, eating about every 2-3 hours. Your first meal of the day should be right after you wake up. Your body has been fasting all night, and is now ready for a high protein meal. Your last meal should be just before you go to bed. Don’t believe those garbage stories about not eating after 7:00pm. Space the rest of your meals out between your first and last meal.
Don’t skip a single meal. As a hardgainer your going to need all the calories you can fit in your stomach. Use protein shakes to supplement the meals you are unable to get to. Lets be honest, not everyone has enough time in the day to eat like that. Having a few of protein shakes to supplement the meals you miss is a super alternative.
Keep records of how much you eat. Because many bodybuilders don’t keep accurate records of what they eat, the amount of proteins and carbohydrates they take, or the overall calorie and fat intake they make, many of them don’t gain muscle at the expected rate. Any mistake in your calorie-intake is a risk not worth taking. So keep tabs of your food consumption. This is what every hard gainer should always keep in mind to ensure success in their bodybuilding diet endeavor.
