Have you been constantly going to the gym, and working out hard but you don’t have much muscle to show for it? You probably aren’t eating enough of the RIGHT food. Why was it so hard for you to gain muscle? Maybe The problem is that you are not eating enough of the right foods.. I wanted to share this with you all So here it is. Has been very Helpful To me!!!!
Muscle Gaining Diet tip #1
Eat, Eat, Eat
It is VERY important that you feed your muscles. Your muscles don’t grow while you are in the gym, they grow while you are sleeping and living your everyday life. Muscles take extra energy for your body to maintain, so in order for your body to hold onto muscle, it needs your help. The good news it that YOU can help your body hold onto muscles and help your muscles grow by giving it more Food! Yay!
Fun Fact: Muscle burns fat.
Muscle Gaining Diet tip #2
Eat at Least Six Meals a Day
Make it a rule to eat every three hours. It’s great for your muscles to have a constant flow of nutrition. It might be an overwhelming amount of food at first, but your body will learn and you will start to get hungry every few hours. Eating more often also helps your digestion, energy and metabolism. Think about it, if you only eat one huge meal a day, your body is going to think that you aren’t going to feed it again for another 24 hours, so it goes into a “starvation mode” and holds onto as many calories as possible, giving you excess fat. If you are eating six meals a day, then your body takes the nutrition it needs as fast as it can and gets rid of the waste in expectation that it will eat again shortly.
Fun Fact: When you eat more often your metabolism speeds up because it is constantly working, digesting and moving through calories.
Muscle Gaining Diet tip #3
You Are What You Eat
The types of foods that you put in your body will result in how your body will feel, function and look. Since you are now eating more calories everyday, it is important to know what kind of food to eat. Obviously the more that you eat fatty, processed, fried and greasy foods, then the more fat that your body will hold onto. If you eat the “healthy” things that your mother told you to eat growing up, then you will have a healthier, leaner body. I’m talking about filling your shopping cart with colorful fruits, vegetables, good carbs like whole grains and brown rice, good sources of protein like chicken, fish and low fat beef or turkey. Your body also needs to eat good fats such as avocados, almonds, and omega 3’s from fish. Along with food, water is essential to your new lifestyle. Be sure to drink at least 8 cups per day (and more on workout days.)
Fun Facts: When you go to the grocery store, shop around the outer edges of the store, were the produce and proteins are kept. Stay away from the center of the store, where all of the processed, canned foods, chips and cookies are. A healthy meal is colorful, but an unhealthy meal is usually tan and colorless.
Muscle Gaining Diet tip #4
You don’t need all of those supplements that the magazines are selling you.
But adding the RIGHT supplements is vital for muscle gain. Here are three of the best:
1. Protein powder: A good quality protein powder is crucial. It helps to replenish your muscles after a workout, reducing soreness and maximizing muscle gain. It will also give you more strength for your next work out, and it’s a great way to get in extra calories.
2. Multi – Vitamins: Just take them. They help with your immune health, give you energy, support your metabolism, cushion your joints with Vitamin C, fuel muscles and support your recovery with amino acids. Some multi-vitamins help with colon health and most women specific multi – vitamins aid in breast health and bone support.
3. Fish oil: It is known to be one of the absolute healthiest things a person can take. It reduces the risk of heart disease, helps you maintain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure, and is great for your skin, joints and brain.
Important note: I once walked into a large supplement store with hundreds of product on the shelves, and the nutrition-expert employee told me that if he could only sell one product in the whole store, he would line the shelves with fish oil. It is that good for you!
These tips will help you live a healthier lifestyle and gain a lot of muscle in a HEALTHY way. Make sure to use a good workout system that will keep you on track with your routines and meal plans. If you eat a lot and don’t work out, then you will gain extra unhealthy fat. All of these tips are stated with the assumption that you are in the gym working out, and are in need of replenishing your muscles. If your muscles don’t need to be repaired, then the extra food that you are eating will turn into unhealthy fat.
Hope this may help some of you out!!!

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with #2, and #3. But I do agree with #1 and #4. You must eat at a surplus (10-20% above what it takes to maintain your weight), get lots of protien (1 gram for every pound of lean body mass), and lift a lot (at least 3 times a week, pushing yourself to lift more as often as possible).0

Congratulations on your 154lbs loss! That is amazing. I'm glad the advice in that article worked for you.
HOWEVER, it contains no citations, the author lists no credentials, and the article has not be reviewed by people in the medical/exercise science field. It appears to contains a lot of commonly perpetuated fitness myths ("brosicence"). It is is misleading to post such things because those who don't know better take it as fact and think that is what they HAVE to do. While the tips in the article worked for you, they are not required, recommended or based on science and people need to know that.0 -
The ClaimMuscle Gaining Diet tip #2
Eat at Least Six Meals a Day
Make it a rule to eat every three hours. It’s great for your muscles to have a constant flow of nutrition. It might be an overwhelming amount of food at first, but your body will learn and you will start to get hungry every few hours. Eating more often also helps your digestion, energy and metabolism. Think about it, if you only eat one huge meal a day, your body is going to think that you aren’t going to feed it again for another 24 hours, so it goes into a “starvation mode” and holds onto as many calories as possible, giving you excess fat. If you are eating six meals a day, then your body takes the nutrition it needs as fast as it can and gets rid of the waste in expectation that it will eat again shortly.
Fun Fact: When you eat more often your metabolism speeds up because it is constantly working, digesting and moving through calories.
The notion behind eating smaller, more frequent meals is simple: spreading out one’s daily calories over six meals stimulates the metabolism, keeping it going at a faster pace and thereby burning more calories.
The Studies
Some studies have found modest health benefits to eating smaller meals, but often the research involved extremes, like comparing the effects of two or three large daily meals with those of a dozen or more snacks. Six meals, according to some weight-loss books and fad diets, is a more realistic approach.
But don’t count on it. As long as total caloric and nutrient intake stays the same, then metabolism, at the end of the day, should stay the same as well. One study that carefully demonstrated this, published in 2009 in The British Journal of Nutrition (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19943985), involved groups of overweight men and women who were randomly assigned to very strict low-calorie diets and followed for eight weeks. Each subject consumed the same number of calories per day, but one group took in three meals a day and the other six.
Both groups lost significant and equivalent amounts of weight. There was no difference between them in fat loss, appetite control or measurements of hormones that signal hunger and satiety. Other studies have had similar results.
For a more reliable metabolic boost, studies show, try exercise.
The Bottom Line
There is no solid evidence that six small meals a day instead of three will speed metabolism.

Completely agreed.
It's an efficiency / ratio of results to effort applied thing rather than you will not be successful at all thing.0 -
"A 1997 review article summarizing the results of past research concluded that meal frequency - whether during the day or at night - had no clear effect on body weight. That is, people who chose to eat frequently, regardless of the time of day, had no higher rate of obesity than those who ate fewer large meals.Think about it, if you only eat one huge meal a day, your body is going to think that you aren’t going to feed it again for another 24 hours, so it goes into a “starvation mode” and holds onto as many calories as possible, giving you excess fat.... When you eat more often your metabolism speeds up because it is constantly working, digesting and moving through calories.
In a study of more than 2,000 middle-aged men and women, 9% of women and 7.4% of men described 'getting up at night to eat.' Overall, there was no difference in weight gain between those who did and those who did not. A study in 2004 of more than 800 men and women noted that the more people ate in the morning, the less they tended to eat during the course of a day, while people who ate more at night tended to eat more overall. A trial from January 2005 found that eating late at night was not associated with weight gain even among people with 'night eating syndrome'...
It is possible that, for some people, eating at night is associated with weight gain. Perhaps they find it easier to be careful about portion size and food choices during the day but simply 'lose it' at day's end. For some, the structure of three meals a day may make it easier to avoid excessive calorie intake. But it's probably a myth that eating before bed has a unique ability to promote weight gain compared with eating at other times of the day. Although scientific studies someday may prove that calories ingested before bed are handled differently than calories ingested at other times, evidence for this commonly held belief is lacking. For now, it's safe to assume that one's weight reflects the balance between calories burned and calories consumed over time, regardless of when you choose to eat."
InteliHealth: Does Nighttime Noshing Make You Fat?
http://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSI/9273/35323/432544.html?d=dmtHMSContent
"The purpose of this study was to determine whether meal ingestion pattern [large morning meals (AM) vs. large evening meals (PM)] affects changes in body weight, body composition or energy utilization during weight loss. Ten women completed a metabolic ward study of 3-wk weight stabilization followed by 12 wk of weight loss with a moderately energy restricted diet [mean energy intake ± SD = 107 ± 6 kJ/(kg·d)] and regular exercise. The weight loss phase was divided into two 6-wk periods. During period 1, 70% of daily energy intake was taken as two meals in the AM (n = 4) or in the PM (n = 6). Subjects crossed over to the alternate meal time in period 2. Both weight loss and fat-free mass loss were greater with the AM than the PM meal pattern: 3.90 ± 0.19 vs. 3.27 ± 0.26 kg/6 wk, P < 0.05, and 1.28 ± 0.14 vs. 0.25 ± 0.16 kg/6 wk, P < 0.001, respectively. Change in fat mass and loss of body energy were affected by order of meal pattern ingestion. The PM pattern resulted in greater loss of fat mass in period 1 (P < 0.01) but not in period 2. Likewise, resting mid-afternoon fat oxidation rate was higher with the PM pattern in period 1 (P < 0.05) but not in period 2, corresponding with the fat mass changes. To conclude, ingestion of larger AM meals resulted in slightly greater weight loss, but ingestion of larger PM meals resulted in better maintenance of fat-free mass. Thus, incorporation of larger PM meals in a weight loss regimen may be important in minimizing the loss of fat-free mass."

Just Because I have loss 154lbs On my own.. WITHOUT surgery or Diet Fads and completely on diet and exercise does not mean if someone was to go out there and do exactly what I did could either have better results or none at all , So Just because this article may seem pointless or unhelpful to some it might be helpful to someone else ...But It's More to the Fact that letting you know if you are not eating right and trying to Build Muscle then you are Starving it instead of repairing it!!!!!0 -

I'd like to clarify something:
There's a specific reason that people reply with what appears to be "know-it-all" syndrome to threads like this. It's not because (at least, usually) they want to be right. It's because there is a whole slew of dietary myths that fortunately, are being proven false through sceintific research.
The reason it's important for these myths to be dispelled, even though (in your case) they're being presented to try and help, is because they create extra steps that are simply not necessary to acheive results.
I could have someone (w/o medical issues), eating every 2 hours with 6 or 7 small meals, and have them take whey protein 3 times, and have them avoid fruit and monitor insulin levels, and not eat past 6pm and have them take casein at night and wear hot pants, and if they train hard and use a reasonable macronutrient intake, they will make great progress.
I can also take the same person (again, w/o medical issues) and have them use a reasonable macronutrient intake and train hard, and they will ALSO make great progress.
Obviously you should use personal preference and let it dictate the things that DONT matter (like meal frequency), but it's really important not to spread the stuff that is irrelevant as being factual, because it causes people to focus on the shyt that doesn't matter.
I hope you understand where I'm coming from. The above applies all over the boards here, IMO.0 -
