"You have to fuel that fire...
" "Just go eat some more...
" "It's not rocket science, consume more calories than you use.
" There is truth to these statements, the problem lies in the follow through.
You know you need to eat more but you need a plan.
Follow these four steps and never again will you feel like you disappear when you turn sideways.
1.
Double your portions-Whatever it is, make it a double.
Shoot for two chicken breasts, two slices of bread, two whatever instead of one.
Chances are you're only a 20-40 meals away from gaining the weight you want.
2.
Timing is EVERYTHING!-Don't skip a meal.
Eat a meal every 2-3 hours without fail.
Remember, a meal NOT a snack! Yes, you will spend more time in the kitchen cooking, eating and cleaning but if the end result is your buff reflection, isn't it worth it? 3.
Play some mind games on yourself-Are you asking how on earth you're going to eat more when you have trouble choking down what you're already consuming? Try putting it on a bigger plate, in a bigger bowl or using a bigger spoon.
All of a sudden, that double portion you've prepared doesn't look any bigger than the single one.
4.
Fuel your greatness-You can not expect to build lean muscle without food to fuel your workouts.
Don't try to go to the gym after hastily chugging down a protein shake.
Aim to have at least three solid meals under your belt before you hit the gym.
If you're a morning workout person, make your post workout meal the biggest.
Put these principles into action and you can count on at least ten pounds of solid weight in the next four weeks! Just DO IT!
