Healthy Ways To Gain Weight If You're Underweight

healthy ways gain weight muscle mass add underweight bulk up

Various individuals around the world face challenges with obesity. Many of them are working hard to drop extra weight and maintain a steady acceptable BMI (body mass index). Nevertheless, there's a large number of individuals who experience the opposite problem. They can't gain weight and remain underweight and skinny. 

Do you have an idea of how an underweight individual can gain weight healthily? If not, the information in this article should prove insightful and useful. Nonetheless, if you have some tips already, you could still tag along to verify your techniques. Below are five techniques to gain weight healthily for lean bodies. 

Consume More Calories 

The basic means to lose weight is to develop a calorie deficit. This refers to burning more calories than the ones you consume. It means that increasing weight entails ingesting additional calories than you're eliminating. An excellent method for managing your calorie requirements is by employing a calorie calculator, which is available online. 

Attaining extra weight rapidly means you require to ingest seven hundred to a thousand calories over your maintenance level. However, if you want a steady rise, consider three hundred to five hundred above your maintenance level. For this reason, look for healthy meals with high calories to attain your daily targets. It is advisable to note that the calorie calculator give estimates and not the actual value. 

Boost Your Protein Intake 

Proteins are fundamental for bodybuilding and healthy mass gain. It is the main reason experts recommend protein to help build muscles. Muscles are comprised of proteins and may turn into body fat if your body does not get the required amount of calories. Eating more proteins also prompts your body to convert calories into muscles, helping you get stronger and develop mass. You can include supplements to boost the process. Thanks to online stores such as Getanabol, it's easy to find the supplement you need. Nonetheless, it is crucial to remember that proteins are filling meals and may limit your calorie intake, thus not achieving your weight gain objectives. 

Eat More Carbs And Fats Regularly 

Individuals who want to lose weight need to eat less fat and carbs. However, if your objective is to gain weight, then you should do the opposite. You have to consume adequate high fat and high carb diets. This means plenty of carbs, proteins, and healthy fats from oily fish and avocado. It is also advisable to avoid intermittent fasting as it is useful for people who want to lose weight. For weight gainers, fasting reduces the number of calories you take in, thus limiting weight gain. Eating three times a day increases your calorie intake, hence the need to eat regularly, especially if you are a hardgainer that has trouble putting on weight. 

Weight Gain Wellness Conclusion 

The information above is useful to anyone looking to gain weight healthily. Several people suffer from being underweight and have a hard time finding the best and healthiest ways to add more mass. Also, ensure that you have self-discipline and determination to achieve the results you desire. I hope you find the information insightful and helpful for bulking up and adding muscle mass in a healthy manner.

Body Mass Weight Gainer By Nutruvian


Hello There Fine Frugal Fitness Friends! It's the Master of Mass-Gaining here with another great product spotlight. I'm talkin about the new product Body Mass Weight Gainer by Nutruvian, the company with trusted ingredients and proven results! Their product is a great new take on natural weight gaining, without having to resort to a dozen pills, shakes, and bars. Instead of just stuffing your body full of pounds of protein and overpriced carbs (that's pretty much what all weight gainers are), this simply sends a natural signal to your brain to help initiate appetite and also stave off the feeling of being full (satiation). It uses natural plant extracts, requires very small serving sizes, and is drug free! Most importantly, it facilitates your own body's ability to gain muscle and size by eating more natural healthy foods!


If you don't know my story, I was a hard gainer for a lot of my younger years. I stopped doing cardio and ate tons of junk food along with heavy weightlifting in desperate and unhealthy attempts at dirty bulking. I even put myself on a humorous and fattening "Chocolate Diet" I invented which consisted of me eating all my normal food and shakes plus 3 chocolate bars from the local Market Basket supermarket. Needless to say, that wasn't a smart, effective, or healthy manner of natural/drug-free weight gain. I resorted to a lot of unhealthy methods to try and gain weight without drugs, and I really could have used this product about 6 years ago. Now I'm not as much of a hardgainer, but I know that if I need to pack on some muscle and I don't have the appetite to do it, Body Mass Weight Gainer is there to help me out. 


So all you need to do to utilize Body Mass Weight Gainer is to put a dropper full into a small glass of water, mix, and drink. It's as simple as that! It tastes like tea and in a short period of time you will start to have a greater appetite, and one that will last for a longer period of time. You can use this increased appetite and mastication tolerance to EAT MORE NORMAL HEALTHY HIGH CALORIE FOODS LIKE MEATS, NUTS, SEEDS, LEGUMES, FRUITS, WHOLE GRAINS, VEGETABLE OILS, & MORE! More normal healthy foods of your diet preference, and less processed foods or dietary supplements and your weight gain will take off! Combine this tool with the included strength training and meal plans and you have a complete recipe for natural and healthy weight gain! Try it out and build muscle the healthy and natural way!

Protein Recommendations Per Meal? Your Questions Answered!


Your Question:
What are your protein recommendations for someone looking to put on weight and muscle, I am a hardgainer. Also, I think your book The Frugal Diet might have an error on the serving size or lean steak...let me know man, thanks!
-Former Personal Training Client



Frugal Answer:
Good call on the conflicting advice, in the book I am a little more conservative in my recommendations since I try to appeal to a diverse spectrum of people, especially geared towards weight loss. So you are absolutely right about the steak, maybe 4-6 oz would be more realistic as a serving size, but for someone looking to put on lean muscle mass quickly and having trouble in the past, I would say 40 grams of protein in an hour is fine. Especially since the steak probably won't be eaten in a split second (like a protein shake is chugged) and usually eaten with some fats and carbs as well, which will slow down the breakdown process of the protein. To make up for the caloric deficit of lowering the steak serving size, add in a tablespoon of natural peanut butter. Good questions, sorry for my mistake on the serving size.

Five Frugalicious Fitness Tips!


1) If you are thinking about hiring a personal trainer, insist on a free trial workout to make sure you like the workout style and trainer personality. It's always good to double check, plus you get a an extra free session out of it (could save you $30-100 depending on where you are getting trained!). I always offer prospective clients at least a complimentary 30 minute training session to make sure it will be a good fit for both of us.

2) Before signing up for a gym, insist on getting a free day, week, or even 2 week pass! The customer service at the front desk might not always offer, but if you ask there is a good chance you could get it! If you really want to try and negotiate a free trial, ask for the manager! Remember: Everything's Negotiable!


3) Don't forget to get a copy of your gym membership contract for your health insurance so you can get a reimbursement for this year, if you qualify. Your gym will usually just require you to sign a quick form and you or them will send to your insurance company along with any of their required paperwork. You can usually get $100-$300 back if you've belonged to the gym all year!


4) Want To Bulk Up without Going Broke? Better BUY IN BULK! Gaining lean and clean muscle is not easy, and can be much harder than losing weight, especially if you are a "hardgainer". It can also be very expensive, but if you buy non-perishables

5) Need some last minute Holiday cards? Don't feel like spending $4 per Hallmark Card? I buy mine at the Dollar Tree 2 cards for $1, including envelopes! Some of them are actually pretty solid too! So if you get a card from me, you know I either paid next to nothing for it (unless I made you an amazingly terrible hand-made card). CHEAPNESS FOR THE WIN! And no Dollar Tree isn't paying me to write this, I wish, if they would like to I'd be all for it *cough cough* :)

Break Through Training Plateaus w/ These Intermediate-Advanced Training Techniques


1) Incorporate Drop Sets into your workout to really push your muscles to the max. This intermediate-advanced workout technique requires you to do as many repetitions as possible of a weightlifting exercise, reduce the weight 10-30%, and then without taking a break continue doing repetitions until you reach muscle failure again. This allows your muscles and your body to push itself beyond normal stages of fatigue and results in greater fat burning and muscle strengthening benefits. An example would be doing 15 repetitions of the row machine at 50 lbs of resistance, then dropping the weight down to 40 lbs immediately after and completing another 10 reps or whatever it takes to reach complete exhaustion. A great way to help push past training plateaus!


2) Incorporate supersets into your workout for great muscle group specific weightlifting workout boost. First you do an exercise emphasizing a specific muscle group such as a dumbbell bicep curl. Then immediately after completing that set, you do an exercise working the opposite muscle group, such as a lying dumbbell triceps extension. That way you strengthen one muscle group (the contracting muscle) while you stretch the opposite one, and then vice versa on the second exercise! Great for toning and flexibility improvements! Another great way to break through training plateaus

GNC Re-Built Mass Review - Beyond Raw Weight Gainer Rating

gnc beyond raw re-built mass review

Rebuild Some Huge Mass with RE-BUILT MASS!
What's up Frugal Fitness Fans! I know you love hearing about my favorite Frugalicious Nutrition products, so I got another review for y'all! For the past 6-7 weeks or so, I've been taking one of GNC's relatively new products "Re-Built Mass" weightgainer protein powder, from their fantastic new hardcore line of supplements Beyond Raw series. While I'm not necessarily trying to bulk up at all costs these days like I used to, I am always looking to pack on high-quality lean muscle mass and prevent unnecessary muscle catabolism (breakdown). GNC Re-Built Mass is a very high-quality protein mass-building powder that helps to keep your body anabolic and strong with a very wide variety of powerful proven ingredients and growth factors. You can mix it with water, juice, or any type of milk, or even use it in baking high protein goods! And since it is made by GNC, it can be a more Frugal alternative mass-builder, especially with GNC's Gold Card discounts and sales. I'm a big fan of GNC ReBuilt Mass, here is how I've been using it and enjoying it's benefits!

gnc gold card savings

Since I've been using it I've been doing my normal mix of 4-5 days of resistance training for bodybuilding focus (so muscle group splits usually), along with 3-5 days of low-moderate cardio (walking, jogging, exercise bike). Each workout is about 45-60 minutes long on average. By taking plenty of Re-Built Mass, along with proper diet, I don't have to worry about excessive muscle breakdown due to my training regimen. I can do plenty of cardio to improve heart health and reduce bodyfat without worrying about it inhibiting my recovery or muscle mass, especially in my legs. My legs are looking more jacked than ever before even though I've been doing more cardio, and my midsection is shredded up! My bodyfat is down & muscle is up!

gnc rebuilt mass supplement reviews

How do I take my GNC Re-Mass powder supplement? When don't I take it is the real question! I like to cover my bases to maximize my muscle mass gains, inhibit potential excessive breakdown, and boost recovery. I usually take a scoop of protein powder in the morning with skim milk or soy milk. I take about a half scoop to full scoop about an hour before my workout in water. I take a scoop or more post-workout (make sure it's within 20 minutes post-workout), and I take a final scoop of weightgainer protein powder about 30-45 minutes before bed with skim milk for long-lasting enhanced muscle building and recovery while I'm sleeping. If you are really looking to maintain muscle mass during intense training regimens, or build muscle mass when it doesn't come easy, then you can't afford to miss any muscle building opportunity! Plus, you can take it along with GNC's Re-Forge for even more synergistic benefits!

I've been Boosting My Bench Big Time w/ GNCRe-Built Mass!
REMEMBER THIS: Optimal amounts of specific amino acids and micronutrients contained in GNC Re-Built can optimize natural hormonal levels which leads to more muscle mass and metabolism. Also remember that your metabolism is proportional to the amount of metabolically active muscle mass you have! So the more muscle you build, the more calories you burn 24/7! Boom!

How will GNC Re-Built Mass help you? That's for you to find out, I highly recommend giving it a try today! You can order GNC ReBuilt Mass protein weightgainer supplements online on GNC.com or at your local GNC store. Don't forget to get your Frugal discount with your Gold Card! :)

Best Bulking Up Supplement Stack? Your Questions Answered!



Got A Question For The Frugal Fitness Guru? 


Your Question:

I just finished getting cut for an MMA competition, and lost a lot of bodyfat / weight. I want to bulk back up as quickly as possible, what kind of combination of Muscle Milk and Creatine should I use, or is there a better option? If that does work, what is the best way to take them both to get the best results. Thanks Frugal Fitness! 



Frugal Fitness Answer:


I think creatine for the first week you should take in 2-3 grams in the morning, 2-3 grams pre-workout, and 2-3 grams post workout. This will help to maximize your muscle's creatine phosphate levels to start. Then you can cut back to 1-2 grams of creatine beyond that initial week for maintenance, I'd do similar timing. You can take muscle milk before and after your workouts as well (and before sleep) for maximal weight gain. It's more expensive but I prefer Monster Milk because less fat / carbs and more protein, tastes just as good to me! Otherwise very similar. Also, increase the amount of B-Vitamins, water, omega-3 fatty acids, and possibly green tea you take in to help assist your body as well. Also, obviously increase overall calorie intake & total protein, reduce cardio, increase resistance lifted, and get more sleep to maximize recovery and bulking!

Bulking Up After Hitting A Plateau? Your Questions Answered!



Your Question:
I have a question for ya, since I enjoy your articles/videos figured Id ask you, hopefully you dont mind. I've been a cop the Air Force for about two years and I've been liftin heavily and consistently since I joined. My primary goal has been gaining bulk so primarily its been a lot of heavy compound lifting of 3 sets, 6-12 reps but recently I've hit a pretty solid plateau. I always thought plateaus were kinda a myth and wouldn't happen to me haha but I was wrong. I started at 140 lbs now im at 160 with a goal of reaching 170-175 so I want to keep building mass. Do you have any suggestions? Im always doing a lot of fitness research and most articles say just change up rep range and sets but will I be able to keep gaining muscle mass during this time? I'm just looking for any extra info or your thoughts on this process. Thank you for any help my friend.



Frugal Fitness Answer:
Thank you so much for your service and congrats on the bulking so far. I would say you don't always have to go heavier, I've been able to put on more mass with lifting lighter weights but really incorporating tons of supersets, compound sets, drop sets, monster sets, and negative reps/sets in all of my workouts. You also want to make sure that you are alternating between barbell, dumbbell, and cable variations of many core exercises such as chest presses, chest flies, rows, pulldowns, etc to keep your body adapting to new stimuli. Also mentally focus on maximizing muscle contraction of targeted muscle, a lot of reps I just pause and squeeze. Obviously heavy compound movements are the way to go but after I burnout bigtime with isolation cable and dumbbell exercises. Also for maximal bulkup, gotta have extra protein and calories and minimize cardiovascular workouts.

Best Drinks High In Protein? Your Questions Answered!



Your Question:
Hi Frugal Fitness. I really appreciate your videos, good job. I am looking to increase my daily protein intake but I am having trouble eating enough meat daily and it isn't very convenient. What can i drink that has high protein ?  -YouTube Subscriber



Frugal Fitness Answer:
Well, unless you want to drink pure eggs like Rocky Balboa and risk salmonella, your best bet is probably low fat milk and/or whey protein. I recommend drinking some skim or 1% milk for a good source of complete protein and other nutrients. I usually buy store brand skim milk, just make sure it is Growth Hormone and Antiobiotic Free (it will say on the label). If you have the extra cash, you could even buy "Skim n More" or "True Moo" which is extra concentrated and maybe higher quality skim milk that tastes richer and contains an extra 2 grams of protein per serving. Soy milk is a solid option but it is more expensive and the flavored options such as Vanilla have too much sugar in them compared to protein content. You also want to remember that the casein protein in milk is much slower digesting and has a little different amino acid profile than the faster digesting soy milk protein. You are right though that you can often drink more calories / nutrients compared to eating the same amount. Also, it can be much more convenient to grab or mix a protein drink than carry around coolers and tupperware containers filled with perishables like tuna, salmon, egg whites, and grilled chicken breasts.



Whey, casein, soy, or egg protein powder can be added to water, milk, or soy milk and could even be blended up with dozens of potential ingredients such as ice, peanut butter, fruit, juice, yogurt, flaxseed, supergreens, fiber powder, creatine, pre-workout mixes (such as NO Xplode), cocoa, mocha powder, and pretty much anything else you can think of for performance or palatability. You can obviously buy pre-made drinks in cartons or bottles but you will be paying $2-4 a piece which can add up fast, especially if you drink multiple protein shakes per day like myself. I also don't like how they concentrate some of these drinks into solutions that are way too thick, but that's just me. Weight gainer powders like CytoGainer, Monster Mass, N-Large, etc are mostly just whey protein powders diluted with fillers such as maltodextrin and a tiny amount of micronutrients and creatine so I don't recommend them for most people.



You can also technically drink egg whites / egg substitute like Sylvester Stallone in Rocky (such as Egg Beaters) but I wouldn't recommend it haha :)

"Get Huge" Nutrition Plan Outline



For HardGainers

            Half the key to getting bigger is just eating more. It’s as simple as that. Eat and lift. Eating more will give you more protein, more energy, better recovery, and more bulk to lift more. Lifting will make you hungrier and allow you to eat more and put on more muscle but also burns calories so you needn’t worry about putting on fat. As I said, you are a hardgainer which means you have a lean physique that requires more food and lifting than normal individuals to put on weight. On the plus side though this means you can eat nearly everything you want without fear of putting on fat and since you are very lean to begin with all the weight you gain will be easily seen muscle.

Meals:
-Eat up to a dozen small/medium meals throughout the day, don’t just stuff your face at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Snack before, after, and in between all the major meals whether it’s a lot or a little bit. This will keep your metabolism up and fuel your growing muscles with protein, carbs, and nutrients.

Example Day)
-Big Breakfast (protein!)
-medium snack
-big lunch
-medium snack
-preworkout snack (protein!)
-postworkout snack (protein and carbs!)
-big dinner
-medium snack
-small glass of milk or snack before bed


Food Advice:
-Get used to reading nutrition labels!
-Eat a ton of protein for maximum muscle building and recovery, for someone your size I want you to shoot for at least 100 grams of protein a day if not 120 grams. Build up to this amount gradually so you don’t shock your digestive system. Make sure to drink plenty of water a day with this
-Good protein sources include milk, yogurt, cheese, turkey, chicken, fish, lean beef, nuts, seeds, whole grain breads and cereals, soy foods, protein bars, and of course whey protein powder.
-Try to eat foods that contain heart healthy and muscle building unsaturated fats such as grains, nuts, and seeds instead of saturated fats found in fried, processed, and fast foods.
-Try to eat foods that contain more complex longer lasting carbohydrates like oatmeal, potatoes, and whole grain foods instead of simple sugars found in processed, sugary, or enriched foods.
-Eat as many fruits and veggies as you want
-Drink plenty of water, this is important for your muscles and your kidneys to help filter toxins and processing the increase in protein. It will help fill your muscles as well.


Supplements:
-Multivitamin Everyday
-B-complex vitamin every workout day (with food, before or after workout)
-Cup of coffee or green tea for some caffeine to boost energy and metabolism levels
-Whey protein powder (very helpful)
-protein and nutrition bars
-weight gainers are a waste of money, eat regular food instead
-Creatine or glutamine powder are for intermediate to advanced lifters but are very helpful and proven safe

Boozing:
-Drinking increases estrogen levels which is detrimental to muscle growth
-Drinking lowers metabolism, immune system, and blocks nutrient absorption
-Do not drink frequently and if you do don’t drink in too much excess and eat food while you drink to fuel your muscles

Lifestyle Tips:
-Get 8 hours of sleep a night, not getting enough sleep will reduce your recovery ability and your muscle building ability
-Try to relax and find healthy ways to reduce stress which triggers the muscle destroying hormone cortisol.
