Gain weight cost effectively

My first post is going to be about gaining weight. I know there are more people out there who are trying to lose weight than gain. But I have faced the weight gain problem pretty much all my life, until recently, after I got married. My wife is a lovely lady, feeding me and spoiling me to fatnezz… :) Honestly, I would love to share my experience about weight gain with all those who are struggling.

People on the other side of the world, I will soon post another one on weight loss too. And I know your side of the problem. I will try to address everything from laziness to gluttony… But I digress.

Stuff to buy in BULK

When you hit the groceries store, look for Pasta and Oat meals. Oats are very good fillers before the workout sessions. Provide good dietary fiber and slow burning carbs. Buy stuff like this in bulk because you don’t want to run out of it every other day. This is stuff that you will be eating every day before the workout sessions.

Dates and nuts should be in your office drawer in your gym bag and at home, consumed a few every hour or 2.

Rice should be a staple diet

Milk Powder is for babies…???

Add some skim milk powder to your diet. With an average of 100 calories, 9 grams of protein and 13 grams of carbs per three tablespoons, it’s a simple way to boost the nutritional value of your shakes or oatmeal. And it tastes lovely. Most people find they actually prefer the taste of protein shakes when skim milk powder has been added, due to the fact that it makes for a creamier and thicker consistency.

Yolk is good

Eat the yolks if you have been sacrificing them all these years. Yes people will tell you that yolks have cholesterol, but don’t worry about it too much. In fact if you are trying real hard to gain weight, a little saturated fat will actually boost your testosterone. 60 calories per yolk is actually good for those super lean people trying to gain some extra kilos.

With eggs being one of the cheaper protein options out there, this definitely is a cost-effective way to meet your needs.

Peanut Butter

A fantastic source for high density carbohydrates that boost your calorie intake. Add it to your sandwiches or put into your shakes. This will definitely make them much tastier. Also if you are cutting down on sugar, this will provide some healthy sugar that is necessary for your health.

Stick to basic supplements

If you still think, after all this that’s already available in your regular diet, that a dietary supplement will boost your performance, stick to Creatine and Whey. Avoid using mass gainer combinations. They are expensive and addictive.
