Getting The Correct Weight Gain Diet

We were talking of a weight gain diet the other day and it became quite an interesting topic. A good weight gain diet must basically tell you how much of the calorie loaded nutrients to include in it. You need 1-2 gram of protein per pound of body weight, which makes it 20-50%; 30-60% carbs, and 20-30% fat in your weight gain diet. So you have to get that nutrient ratio right in your weight gain diet. You’ll hear many experts telling you different ratios are the best according to them – but remember this would obviously depend on the person. That’s why there’s a range – it will help gain weight when you work within the range.

You must track what your diet consists of and be able to know what makes you gain weight. But never mind. Even if you don’t know – say if you are a very active person, you must adopt a diet that is high on carbs to give you that extra energy you need. If you are naturally skinny like me and just can’t seem to gain that extra weight you want so much in spite of everything you do, or eat, get a higher protein and fat-packed diet. If you already have a lot of body fat, begin with more protein; say 40-50 % after you figure out your body fat percentage. Remember to be flexible as there is no fixed ratio. It is your focus that counts – and it has to be reworked to give you the best result.
