Anybody out there know of different methods or supplements to help a person gain weight?
Not stupid, as I understand it:Sorry for sounding so stupid here, but what is the difference if you eat 6 times a day or 3 times a day as long as your calorie intake is the same?
Thanks,
Now that does make sense.
You want to keep your insulin response more level. More frequent small meals will keep insulin more level, while fewer large meals will make insulin and blood sugar oppose each other like yo-yos and make you fat.Sorry for sounding so stupid here, but what is the difference if you eat 6 times a day or 3 times a day as long as your calorie intake is the same?
Thanks for the advice. But I don't think I could ever eat 6-8 meals a day. :gas: I will definitely start eating more of the kinds of food you suggested.
Take it from me bro, when they say eating is the most important. I have tried every supplement under the sun, and all I got from it was less money, more bills! I wondered why I didn't gain any muscle when I was taking cell tech, protein powders and NO-xplode. It's because my diet and training weren't in check.
You must read and research, read and train, research and train, and all over again!
I went from 129lbs to 160lbs in a little over a year. I did this by eating as much as I could (healthy foods like tuna, chicken, eggs, pasta) and training heavy. I also trained with COMPOUND EXERCISES These are exercises like Bench press, pullups, squats, military press, exercises that use more than 1 muscle group to do the work, that activate MORE MUSCLE in your body.
Drink lots of water. Eat smaller meals more frequently.
5 small meals every 3 hours is BETTER than 1 or 2 big meals everyday.
For supplements, if you MUST buy something to help, the only one I recommend to you is Muscle Milk. It will give you protein, calories, healthy fat and carbohydrates. It worked well for me and others. Other than this product, spend your money on vitamins and whole foods. THEYRE THE ONLY THING THAT WILL PUT ON MUSCLE!
Maybe thats why I'm got a little fat. I use to eat 4 big meals, I now throw a protein drink inbetween and eat 4 meals with 2 to 3 protein shakes. I've noticed my gains haven't slowed but my gut has slowed in showing.You want to keep your insulin response more level.

You people will be very proud of me, I am now up to eating FIVE little meals a day. So I am getting there!!You don't want sweets, heavy on the protien and clean carbs, potatoes, brown rice, wheat bread etc, etc. Eat often, pick goals for caloric intake and split the calories evenly throughout 6-8 meals. Eating clean means eating a lot more food, but it will also equal better quality gains (less fat).
Thanks for the tips and advice. I can see the pounds will be comming on shortly.Good job so far. Also note the importance of pre and post workout meals/shakes. It always good to eat a good carb/protein source about an hour before workout and have a shake after and follow up with a nice big meal of carbs and protein about 90 minutes after. You can afford to eat a little more at these meals.
He doesn't have his diet in order yet, so why suggest steroids?20 mgs of superdrol for 3 weeks wouldn't hurt either.
No, I think I'll stay away from the steroids. And by the way, I'm a her not a him. lolHe doesn't have his diet in order yet, so why suggest steroids?
