How many times have you tried to gain weight and increase the size of your muscles, but have had less than optimal results? For several years I had the exact same problem. Fortunately, I found a great solution that I am happy to share with you: protein shakes for weight gain.
The philosophy behind gaining weight and building muscle is simple and involves three key points
Point 1: consume more calories than you burn
Point 2: Make sure as many of these calories as possible come from high-protein foods
Point 3: go to the gym and lift weights
Now, how do you make sure you consume more calories than you burn in the gym? This is where protein shakes for weight gain come into play. Protein weight gain shakes can contain so many calories that it would be almost impossible to burn so many calories in a normal workout. Protein shakes are a great addition to your diet for many nutritional reasons, but more importantly, they are not as filling as a solid meal with the same amount of calories.
So what should I put in my protein shakes to gain weight? Since I’m a nice guy, I’ve decided to share the protein shake recipes for weight gain that I use when trying to gain weight quickly. These protein recipes were developed with a lot of trial and error, and they really work and they taste great too.
