If you are not growing, there could be two problems
1. You have not applied energy
balance (energy in versus energy out) properly.
It
is a lot trickier than simply multiplying your body weight by a factor of 18-22
as most authors suggest.
This factor neglects your unique resting
metabolic rate, your unique cost of daily activity, your unique cost of
exercise activity and the thermic effect of food.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. You combine the wrong
food at the wrong times. Obviously
eating 3000 calories of chips and Doritos is not as effective as eating 3000 calories
of high quality carbs, fats and proteins.
There are also a few critical windows in
the day when you must consume the majority of your nutrients to maximize muscle growth.
Not Eating
Enough Calories And Eating The Wrong
Calories
I know you have heard it before but I will
say it again if you are not eating enough calories, you will NEVER gain
weight, no matter what you do.
THERE IS NO WAY AROUND IT! Even if
you have the perfect training routine,
you will never grow unless you provide your body with the proper nutrients.
It’s
like saying you want to build a house but you don’t have enough bricks, cement or
wood.
It
will be impossible to build that house. It’s
like trying to buy a $100,000 house and you only have $50,000. It’s going to be downright impossible.
