Gaining Muscle / Weight

So you want to gain muscle?

Well, you only build muscle when you rest and recover, and that is dependent on how well you rest and recover.

Recovery depends on a couple of factors

1. How well you eat, are you drinking enough water, are you tracking your calories, and do you know th ratios of carbs, fat, and protein that you are eating?

a. Are you eating enough small meals throughout the day to compensate for time under tension, exercising and weight lifting, stress, and work?

These are all factors that you must take into consideration if you want to gain muscle and when you think of recovering.

2. Rest

Are getting enough sleep, enough sleep may very from one persons opinion to the next, but enough sleep is generally 8 hours of sleep.

Sleep is when your muscles repair and grow.

Again, this is a factor that you must take into account when you think of revocery.

Now if you want to gain weight in hopes that you will gain muscle, you must be a calorie surplus (which is why it is almost impossible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, the best you can hope for is the gain muscle and maintain your current bodyfat and that means adding calories into your diet at a very slow pace.).

Now what I would suggest is to start by tracking your calories.

Then begin by removing unhealthy foods and meals and replacing them with healthier choices following the food pyramid.

And when you have a better understanding of your daily caloric intake and the the amount of calories that you are eating every day, you can begin to add calories to your diet.

I would begin by adding 1 hundred to two hundred calories to your daily caloric intake every week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, at whatever pace that you feel comfortable with, and repeat the process until you gain the weight that you desire.

Remember I am not a doctor, nor do I claim to be a doctor, and to discuss any diet and your health problems with your doctor before you begin any diet regimen.
