You’ve probably been given a lot of advice on how to gain weight and muscle if you are unhappy with being underweight, but the most popular advice has more than likely been - “eat more and you’ll gain weight!”. Though that is the right advice, no one ever tells you what foods to eat more of, when to eat them and most importantly, exactly how much more to eat in a weight gain diet plan.

If you’ve tried to gain weight and build muscle in the past, you know that it requires you to invest a lot of time in eating! And not just eating anything and everything you see in site. You have to eat the right foods, get the right amounts of calories, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats and know exactly what amounts of each food to eat.

When it comes to gaining weight, you have to eat just enough to build muscle mass while keeping your body fat low. We’re all born with a different genetic blueprint and determing exactly how many calories, proteins, carbohydrates and fats you will need on a daily basis depends on your body type, age, gender, height, weight, lifestyle, and genetics!
