| You must remember that weight gain powders are just really liquid food. The main reason for weight gain powders is it's easier to drink food then eat, and a lot less time consuming too. Let's say you weigh 150lbs. To gain weight, start off by consuming 3000 calories a day. A daily intake of food per day for 3000 calories would be:
Breakfast - 4 whole eggs, 3 strips of bacon, 1 cup of oatmeal, glass of OJ
Lunch - 6oz of chicken breast, 1 baked potato, small salad
Post workout - weight gain shake, 2 scoops of Champion Nutrition Heavyweight Gainer 900, 16oz of 1% milk
Dinner - 6oz of steak, 1 baked potato, vegetables
This all works out to around 3000 calories a day. Now you can see how weight gain shakes fit in. That weight gain shake with milk has about 1100 calories, it's easier to drink 1100 calories than eat it right! Try this diet for one week. If you don't see a 1 pound increase, up the calories by 300 to 500. For example, add an extra potato or chicken breast to one of these meals. If you don't gain one pound in a week, up it again until you keep gaining one pound a week. That's 4 pounds a month, 48 pounds a year. In one year, you could go from 150lbs to 198lbs. That's an awesome gain in weight. It just takes dedication and a commitment to eat all your food each day. I would also add in 1 multivitamin per day to cover any missed nutrients in your food.
Now for training, do it 3 days a week. For small body parts, do 4-6 sets max. For large body parts, 6-9 max. Do reps of 6-10. Keep your workout under 1 hour, rest 2 minutes between sets. Do cardio 2 days a week max. For me, I'm a martial artist and my classes are my cardio, that's it.
