meal frequency has no effect on metabolism

I train everyday so i dont really care about the calorie count. also what kind of supplements are the best for weight gain?

you may want to ease up on the training. try 5 days per week. for diet fruits, veggies, nuts, beef, chicken, fish, oats, sweet potato etc. 4-10 meals per day. here is a rough idea of what i was eating while at my biggest

6am- 3 omega eggs, 15 egg whites, 1 green pepper, 1 med onion, one bella mushroom, 1 banana, 1 cup spinach, 1 cup oats

8am- 60g prot, 40g carb, 10g fat shake (includes mixed berries, egg whites, evo, and oats)

10am- 1/2 chicken, 1/2 plate full of broccoli, coliflower, carrot mix, 1/2 cup brown rice, 16 oz whole milk

12pm- same shake as 8am

gym

end of training- around 2pm shake 150g prot, 80g dex, 20g waxy maize, 1/2 cup oats (was using slin)

3pm- same shake as post w/o (because of slin)

4pm- 10oz beef, apple, sweet potato, mixed green salad with evoo, garlic, and onion

6pm normal shake like in the morning

8pm- 10 whole omega eggs, cereal bowl full of broccoli, 1/2 cup oats

sleep

1am- 12oz fish, 8 rice cakes, orange

sleep

then repeat starting at 6am

consuming all of this food, taking all of the drugs (gh, t3, slin, aas, different enzymes, and inject aminos, and training like an animal all brought on the mass but at the same time it almost killed me.

Um the 6 foods that work are used for contest prep. Dave Pulcinella even said they're not an all year round diet deal.

You wanna put on weight quick you're going to have to sacrifice a little fat. You need surplus calories to grow so it should be common sense you're going to put on a fat. Pro bb's even with all the drugs they take still put on fat in the off season. eat until you puke, don't be afraid to get a little gut but make sure you don't let it spill over. Take progress pics and measurements along the way.

look into programs that make counting your calories a lot more easy bro.

Fitday.com is one and I know there is more like it.
nutritiondata.com is a bad ass program. You can plug in any recipe you have then tell it how many servings you want out of it and it will brake down everything for you. Something that was a big pain in the ass before... Check them both out, learn how to use them and in a matter of no time its like second nature my man.. Once you get a Idea of what you are taking in all the time then you will know what you need more or less off.

just stick to the basics and keep your caloric intake up for lean mass gains. chicken, lean beef, lean pork, egg whites, oatmeal, brown rice, sweet potato, all of these foods are the staples of most bodybuilders. keep it simple and eat enough calories for muscle growth and you should see some good gains. at the same time, dont try to overdue it and just try to gain weight in general. shoot for lean muscle all over spread out evenly. good luck.

**Young Gotti** · 01-04-2011, 09:57 AM

the things that helped me gain weight were, steaks, eggs, natty pb, and almonds....they really seemed to help add mass because of the protein and healthy fats.....as far as carbs, i personally cant eat to much without turning to a balloon so i stick to sweet potatoes and brown rice

This ^ a calorie counting program can be of great assistance in aiding your daily caloric goals- it just helps keep you accountable. I use ifit( iPhone app) and work very well for ^me- started gaining almost immediately once I was hitting my target cals. Something u should look into.

Along with plenty of protein, fats and carbohydrates are a big part of any weight training diet. Avoid sweets and empty calories will give your body the fuel it needs to add body mass and gain muscle tissue through the nutritious foods you eat at regular intervals during the day.

**BLUEBARON75** · 03-15-2011, 12:15 AM

be smart about it, have 6 to 7 eating occasions a day with the protein and carb ratios according to your bodyweight, eating clean such as chicken, brown rice, surloin, potatos and other miscellaneous foods.

just eat anything and everything, atleast 6 meals a day and continue to bust your ass in the gym 5 days a week and you will be fine..
