If you’re a guy who worries that they could be underweight or would rather just add a bit more meat to their muscle, you should think about putting together a health plan of diet and exercise which will contribute to natural weight gain. Don’t expect results overnight, but you could see a difference in a shorter time than you imagined provided that you begin properly considering each aspect of your diet and exercise.
So check out this 4 steps & let me know if they works.
1- Counting the calories:
The difference between solid weight gain and a wasted effort is to carefully consider how many calories you take in versus how many you burn off; it’s no good exercising like a madman if you’re not taking in enough to put the weight back on! You need to reverse any caloric deficit by eating more food – this doesn’t mean you can simply hit the local fast food drive-in though! Avoid ‘empty’ calories such as you might find in unhealthy foods like ready meals and ensure that you’re taking in enough of the good stuff from lean meats and dairy products.
2- Add a meal:
It could be that you’re eating so healthily to prepare for a target weight that you simply aren’t putting enough into your body; consider a fourth main meal of the day and don’t skip any of the staples. Unhealthy calories will only make you feel full without any of the actual benefits of the extra meals. Snacking between meals on nuts and seeds will add even more of the protein you need as a base from which to build muscles.

3- Work out:
Just because you’re trying to add weight doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be figuring out where to distribute it. Half an hour’s cardio exercise five times a week will trim down the fat content which you’re adding in – we suggest swimming as a good way to give everything a good workout. Combine this with weight resistance exercises to increase your muscle performance and turn the additional weight into muscle.
4- Add a protein supplement:
A shake for your workouts made up from whey protein and fresh fruit will give you the energy spike you need to replenish your body’s glycogen stores. The additional protein will also help to bulk you up without filling you up – leaving you free to tackle those extra meals without fear of bodily reprisal.
