Building Body Mass: how to gain muscle mass

Why do you look thin?

Skinny guys would like to think that they can eat anything they want without gaining weight. Some skinny guys would think they cannot gain weight because the food they eat don’t digest, are stressed out, or have stomach worms. They would also believe they can eat junk food all day because they have a fast metabolism.

But, you can eat everything you want without gaining weight simply because you don’t eat a lot. That’s right, you think you do, but you don’t. if you did eat a lot, you wouldn’t be skinny.

You need to track your calorie intake daily for proof. You will realise that you are not eating as much calories as you thought. This is the major reason behind your inability to gain weight. Skinny guys would always overestimate how much calories they consume.

This does not imply that high metabolism does not exist. Because some people are more active, they have harder times gaining weight. Some other people are naturally skinny because they are born with small frames and thus aren’t born to be big and strong (i.e. ectomorphs).

It is certain that every skinny person that consumes more calories than he/she burns would gain weight. It does not matter if you have a high metabolism, skinny build, or genetic traits. The only requirement is that you’ll need to eat more food than the average person to put on weight and get a bigger body.

You need to start understanding gaining is mostly a matter of nutrition. Simply consume more calories than you burn on a daily basis and you’ll gain weight.

9 Tips To Help Skinny Guys Gain Muscle Mass;

1.     Consume More Food

Your goal is to eat more than you burn on a daily basis. Know that if you are not gaining weight you are not consuming enough calories.

2.     Eat More Meals

Eating big meals can make you feel all stuffed up. You can make them smaller but, be sure to eat up to 3-4 times daily.

3.     Consume Calorie Dense Foods

Go for foods with high carbs or fats they have much more calories for each serving. Therefore it takes less eating to consume surplus calories. Such foods include; pasta, dried fruits and nuts, etc.

4.     Eat More Protein

Muscles need a lot of proteins to grow. This growth becomes very rapid and effective when you workout. Muscles tend to wear and tear during workout sessions but, proteins helps heal these tears and grow bigger muscle mass at the same time.

5.     Go For More Liquid

Solid foods take some time to digest. So, blended foods become much more easy to digest. You can make weight gainer shakes by mixing whey protein, peanut butter, oats, milk and banana in your blender. These are high carb foods, when they are in liquid form they are digested faster for faster gains.

6.     Keep Track Of Calorie Consumption

You would probably overestimate you calorie consumption. So, keep logs of meals consumed daily and their calorie contents.

7.     Lift Weights

There are several weighted exercises but, you have to concentrate on compounds like weighted squats and deadlifts. They tend to trigger more strength and muscle gains to gain weight.

8.     Take Sufficient Rest

Taking rests is very important as it gives room for muscle repairs and aids recovery from certain strains. Neglecting rests can result to huge damages, further muscle tear, and very poor performance as well as results.

9.     Be Consistent

If you consume a lot of calories today but a little the rest of the week, you won’t gain weight. You have to consistently consume more than you burn daily to gain body weight.
