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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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! :)

"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.
