Also you want to make sure you are eating about 6 meals per day (1 every 2-3 hours). Some recommended foods are:
o Carbs – potatoes, roti, rice
o Protein – steak, salmon, tuna, chicken
o Fats – nuts, peanut butter and olive oil olive oil, nuts and peanut butter
2. Supplements are also a very important part of the Hardgainer diet. They help you work out harder and faster and also allow you to put on weight quickly and easily. However make sure that the supplements you use have been around for a few years and are well known. Some new “miracle” products can have negative long-term effects. Don’t know yet. Stick to basics like protein shakes, creatine (powder), fish oil and multi vitamins.
3. The last part of hardgainer diet is actually workout exercise. If you want to bulk up and gain a lot of muscle mass, then it is necessary to include squats and dead lifts in all workout routines. In fact these two exercises are responsible for more muscle gains than any other exercise (according to bodybuilders around the world). Simply put, these 2 exercises are invaluable if you want to build muscle.
