[QUOTE="johnpol, post: 2293118, member: 387645"] if you want to put on weight for training or changing your body eat 4-6 meals a day. high protein and fats with some carbs. in principle it sounds easy to do is difficult. if you cant eat vast amounts of food, then get yourself a protein/carb powder to add in between your food intake. 30g of protein per meal is the ideal, but if you are eating a lot then 20-25g per sitting is fine. you can add peanut butter or flax seed oil to any shakes you are eating to further boost good calories that you are consuming. the advice I was given to add bulk for my chosen sport was to just eat, and eat, and then eat some more and when you're full eat again, not the best advice I was given, but it highlights just how difficult it is to actually consume the amount of food required to actually put on muscle. Good luck, and remember eat a minimum of 4-6 meals a day and also have protein shakes too. believe it or not you will need some carbs to help the protein get to where it needs to be, just don't go overboard. Check your bloods after each meal (which will be just before you eat if you are following a 2hourly eating plan) . Hope this is of use to you, [/QUOTE]
