Gain Weight And Bulk Up By NOT Eating Fast Food!

When I was a teenager, I was so desperate to put on weight that I spent a ton of money eating fast food every other meal in a desperate attempt to put on weight. Little did I know, that doing bicep curls twice a week and eating Taco Bell and McDonald's daily weren't going to give me what I was looking for. You can't look good and eat fast food at the same time, it just doesn't work.

Fast food should be a cheat day joy-ride at most, you should never count on a fast food meal to provide you with any nutrition. I would go through and spend 6 bucks on tacos and then wonder why I felt like crap all the time. I looked like crap too, I was six feet tall and weighed in at a whopping 130 pounds. Not exactly what a person would call "healthy." The truth is, there are hardly any nutrients in fast food, and they are filled to the edge with preservatives. I wouldn't recommend eating fast food more than once a week. It can really hinder your bulking progress. Think of eating fast food to be on the same level of severity as skipping the gym.

So, if you have been eating fast food for a while and wonder why you aren't putting on weight, look no further. But, what food do we replace this with in our daily routines? The answer is whole foods. You should be eating whole foods every meal. What are whole foods? They foods that contain no preservatives and haven't been processed or refined. Think of them as "all-natural." These are the foods that contain the most nutrients and will do you the most good. Your entire life will change for the better by eating whole foods exclusively. Here are some examples of whole foods:

OatsChicken breast, steak, lean ground beefPastaFruitsVegetablesFishEggs

Start getting most of your calories from these whole food sources and you will start to see the muscle pile on. I would also recommend finding a good weight gainer recipe in order to provide yourself with a daily caloric surplus. You need to be calculating your caloric and macro nutrient intake every single day. Make sure you know how much you need to be eating by calculating your caloric needs and pair this information with a weight lifting routine designed for bulking and you will be brawny in no time.

Here is a link to a really good weight gainer shake recipe. It is comprised most of whole foods and contains over a thousand calories.
