Gain A Pound Of Muscle Each Week With This Bodybuilding Weight Gain Diet Tip

By: Lee Hayward

Would you like to get the inside scoop on a simple weight gain diet trick that will help you pack on a solid pound of muscular bodyweight each and every week without putting anymore time or effort into your workouts. And without stuffing yourself and trying to shovel down more food at each meal?

I'm going to share with you a simple little muscle building tip that will help you turn the tables in your favour and avoid one of the most catabolic times of the day. Do you know when the most catabolic time of day is? It's when you go to sleep because you literally starve your muscles for eight hours!

Would you ever go 8 hours, or more, during the day without eating something? Of course not. But that is exactly what you do each and every night when you go to bed. The old time bodybuilders knew about this. When packing on bodyweight was their main training objective they would purposely wake up each night and chow down on a high protein, high calorie, muscle building meal to help boost their caloric intake and prevent muscle breakdown during the night.

If you are staying a certain weight right now then you are consuming your maintenance calorie intake. In order to gain muscle you need to consume above this calorie maintenance level. If you are a skinny guy busting your butt trying to gain muscle weight then you are most likely already eating as if there is no tomorrow. And you probably feel that there is no way you could consume any more food.

However, this middle of the night meal will provide these much needed extra calories for muscle gain, and since this is in addition to your daily meals it won't feel like you are forcing down more food. Another bonus is that because you haven't eaten for several hours most of the calories will be headed for your muscles and not stored as bodyfat.

If each night you have a high protein meal replacement or weight gainer drink that contains at least 500 calories; that's 3500 calories for the week over and above your current maintenance calorie intake. This will help you gain about 1 lb. of solid muscle a week. Give this night time muscle building drink a try for the next couple months and you'll easily pack on additional 10 lbs. of solid muscular bodyweight.

There are 2 ways to squeeze in this extra muscle building meal...

One option is to set your alarm clock for the middle of the night. However, if you are like me you hate the sound of the alarm clock as it jolts you out of your sleepy slumber like a slap in the face.

The second option, which is a lot more easy, is to simply drink a couple glasses of water before going to bed. This will naturally make you wake up in a few hours because you'll have to go to the bathroom.

Then all you have to do is before you go to bed is mix up a meal replacement drink in a shaker bottle and put it right on the bathroom counter. You'll get to the point where you just chug it back without even thinking. And then go back and hit the sack for some extra zzz's.

It will take you less then 5 minutes total prep time to mix up and drink a high calorie protein drink each night. The little bit of work involved is well worth the reward of a bigger more muscular physique.
