Training ectomorph - the problems with the fast metabolism

Well, if you have super fast metabolism, you need a fatty diet. You need help be bulk up, you want your chest and arms good enough, but what you must understand is that your approach should be complexed.

1.) Eat every 2-3 hours
2.) Breakfast, Pre/Post workout should be your biggest meals
3.) Protein sources from eggs, cottage, chicken, lean beef
4.) Carbs from oats, brown rice, WW bread, sweet potatoes, veggies, fruits
5.) Fats from olive oil, PB, nuts, oil caps
6.) Invest in a multi-vitamin

Don't be afraid to eat. I had this problem before, and don't be afraid to gain a little fat!!! If you want to be big, you have to eat big.
   


I never eat less than six eggs at a time. I usually eat 4 egg whites and 2 whole eggs (boiled). You might try adding an egg to your breakfast every few days or so.But remember, eggs might be dangerous if you overdo. In between breakfast and lunch, eat some nuts, peanut butter or something like that, and eat something in between lunch and dinner. 

In my pre-competition period I eat a lot of turkey burgers in between meals. Then I eat supper a couple hours later. Turkey is really cheap and and got a lot of protein in it. 

Don't forget to eat fruit and vegatables. I eat a lot of yogurt and cottage cheese too. Shop smart and look for the deals. Don't ever let your stomach growl. Everyone's different, but from my own experiences, gaining weight isn't as hard or technical as it's made out to be.
   
Make sure you're eating every 3 hours.



Learn how to bulk succesfully with minimal fat gain, but fats are not a terrible problem for hardgainer, so don't worry. Start adding meals as you go along. You will know when its enough. Measure yourself the same way every couple of weeks and you will see where the growth is. If gain is in Muscles keep going up. If its in the waist cut down a bit or wok out harder. (you will gain some waist size)

The staples of my bulk diet are whole milk a gallon a day. Raw oats, whole eggs, peanut butter sandwhiches, wholewheat pasta chicken , fish, Homemade trail mix ( mostly oats) cheese and veggies. Shakes (whey) are in there too. All this is calculated for me. You have to do the work to find out the specifics for you. Good luck.


supplements proper for hardgainers. Consult with your doctor befor using:

* creatine with carbs
* glutamine (for combining with the creatine)
* protein gainer 
* 6 meals with ENOUGH sources of fats
