See Food And Eat It – A Diet For A Hardgainer

February 19th, 2009

A “see food and eat it” diet is a diet that many people online recommend for guys who want to add weight to their frame, or bulk up. This means that they need to eat any food that’s in sight. So if they see a donut, they eat it or if they see a whole pizza, they eat it as well.

Is this good advice?

While many people will tell you if you want to bulk up then you need to eat everything you see, they don’t tell you that you will end up looking like a fat slob, with a big tyre round your midsection.
Eating everything you see in front of you is not the way to go if you want to pack on muscle weight. If you want to be fat – then go right ahead.

The right way to bulk up is with clean food. And lots of it. If you are eating plenty of wholesome food, then you can really eat a lot. Train heavy and eat regularly. This is how you build muscular weight, but it takes a lot more discipline than the other route.

Problem is, if you eat fast food and other junk, you will get big but fat. This is no benefit to your muscles and you won’t even see your muscles under all that fat.

You need to be eating quality protein, carbohydrates and fats every 3 hours throughout the day. Also train heavy and get plenty of rest. You should do some form of cardio or interval training so that your fitness does not fall behind, and you stay quite lean. Keep in mind, you do need to add some bodyfat – but you should still below 10-11% with a clean diet and good bodybuilding routine.

Here are some of the best foods to eat:

Eggs
oatmeal
whole-wheat bread
bananas
oranges
protein shakes
Steak
Chicken
Turkey
Pasta, brown rice
Grilled chicken sandwiches
mixed steamed veggies
chicken breast
milk – this will make you bulk up very fast

Protein shakes are always good after training sessions and to top up your calorie intake. Try some meal replacements also if you don’t want to cook 6 meals a day.

If you are a hard gainer, then a diet of 6 meals a day (with the above foods) will help you add quality bodyweight quickly. That means building muscle weight – not fat weight.

You can have some room for your favourite foods, but never confuse bulking up – with pigging out.
