I know this should go on the diet forum,,, but to many people only read this one and I am getting tired of thread after thread of people asking why they are not making gains. DIET!!!! that is the answer bros.
Bulk Diet
For your caloric intake multiply your weight (not LBM) by 20. Increase by 10% if you do not make solid gains and use the following ratios. I would not recommend this diet if you are over 15% BF. Get your BF down first then pack on the size. For all of you hardgainers this should work wonders.
This is an example diet of a 250lb guy.
Calories: 5000
Protein: 500 G 40%
Carbs: 400 G 32%
Fat: 155 G 28%
Protein Carbs Fat
9 am Meal 1 75 75 20
11 am Meal 2 Shake 50 50 20
1 pm Meal 3 50 50 20
3 pm Meal 4 50 50 20
5 pm Pre W.O. Shake 50 50 20
Make sure the carbs in this shake have a low GI index
7 pm Post W.O. Shake 100 100 0
Make sure the carbs in this shake have as high of a GI index as possible i.e dextrose
9 pm Meal 7 75 25 20
11 pm Meal 8 Shake 50 0 36
Keep the majority of your carbs from sources that have low glycemic indexes. i.e. beans, long cut oatmeal, whole wheat pasta, sweet potatoes etc…..
Proteins should all come from meats, whey isolate and limited dairy
Your fats should come from meat sources and supplemented EFA’s i.e. flaxseed oil, olive oil, fish oil,,, etc…..
Take two free meals a week to eat whatever you want
Get a food counts book and a glycemic index to keep track of your diet. Write down everything that you eat in a diary every day. Trust me you will find that you don’t eat as much as you think!!! I will bet my left nut on that if you are having a hard time gaining.
Supplements
60 g of glutamine a day
20 to 30 g of creatine a day
1 muli-vitamin per day
1 anti-oxidant per day
1500 mg magnesium/ calcium per day
Some Kind of EFA
