10 Waight growth tips
Here are 10 effective tips for healthy weight gain:
1. Eat More Calories Than You Burn
Aim for a caloric surplus (300-500 extra calories/day for slow gain, 700-1000 for faster gain).
2. Increase Protein Intake
Protein helps build muscle, not just fat.
Aim for 1.6–2.2g of protein per kg of body weight.
Good sources: chicken, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts, beans, protein shakes.
3. Eat More Healthy Fats
Healthy fats are calorie-dense and help hormone production.
Good sources: avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, fatty fish, dark chocolate.
4. Consume More Carbs
Carbs fuel workouts and increase calorie intake.
Eat whole grains, oats, rice, potatoes, fruits, and vegetables.
5. Strength Train Regularly
Focus on compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, bench press, and rows.
Train 3-5 times a week to ensure the extra calories go to muscle.
6. Eat More Frequently
Eat every 3-4 hours to keep your body in an anabolic (muscle-building) state.
Have high-calorie snacks between meals (e.g., nuts, protein bars, Greek yogurt).
7. Use Liquid Calories
Drinking calories is easier than eating them.
Try smoothies, milk, protein shakes, fruit juices.
8. Don't Fill Up on Low-Calorie Foods
Avoid excessive raw veggies, soups, and watery foods that fill you up without adding calories.
9. Get Enough Sleep & Recovery
Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep for muscle recovery and growth.
Sleep affects hormones that control muscle building and appetite.
10. Be Consistent & Track Progress
Track your weight and food intake weekly.
Adjust calories if you're not gaining at least 0.25–0.5 kg (0.5–1 lb) per week.
