Sample Weight Gain Meal Plan (8 Meals/Day)
|
|
Below is a sample daily meal plan for someone on a weight gain diet. This is what a typical day looks like for bodybuilder Trever Reed, who packed on an impressive 40+ pounds over a relatively short period of time.
Notice that he tries to eat 4000 - 5000 calories per day, and always aims for 7-8 meals. Eating this many meals is important when consuming so many calories, as it makes digestion and absorption of nutrients much easier for the body.
