A misconception is prevalent among people; if you want to gain weight then you have
to eat everything in large quantities, and more fat means more weight and
more muscles. Many people fall for this myth and the result is obesity.
The best way to gain weight and muscles is to know our body and then chart a nutrition and workout plan for you. The first step in knowing your body is
calculating the BMI of your body. The BMI will determine for you if you are of normal weight, underweight or overweight. This will help you choose your diet
plan.
A balance has to be maintained between the calories you take in and the calories you burn working out in the gym or in your daily activities. If you are
overweight then the intake of calories has to be a bit less than the number of calories you can burn till you reach your optimum weight. Having food rich in
proteins and carbohydrates is recommended for people working out daily so that body muscles are built and energy is spent on the working out activities. Do
not cut out on fats totally as fats form a part of a balanced diet which is very important for smooth functioning of the body and mind.
While working out in the gym with weights make sure to have a professional trainer around. If you do not have a professional trainer make sure you feel every
contraction and the effect that the exercises have on your body.
Maintain a daily regimen of your diet and workout. Within a gap of time you will observe your body gain weight and muscle.
