Weight Gain Algorithm

A nice little algorithm my friend and colleague Lonnie Lowery pioneered that people can follow if they are having trouble gaining weight. A nice little tool if you are they type of person who like to take a bit of a scientific approach to gaining weight.




NOTES: PRO, P = protein; CHO, C = carbohydrate; FAT, F = fat; AM = morning; PM = evening; exr = exercise; para-exercise drinks = pre, post and sometimes mid-workout; lifestyle problems may include alcohol, stress, sleep disturbances, etc.; genetics may involve intolerances, diseases, body shape/ fat distribution, endocrine factors, etc.


Or go simple like has worked for me. Train hard, eat harder. Set a base diet that has you eating 12 gram of protein per lbs roughly and .6g per lb of nice healthy fat, then fill in the caloric gaps with more fat or carbs. Set yourself a target weight get their and hold is 90 days.


"I think a purposeful drive toovereat, in a strategic way, is superior to a slow-and-steady approach to muscle mass. Beyond any ludite focus on the nuances of nutritional periodization, mypersonal experience has repeatedly revealed that guys who try to stay leanwhile simultaneously gaining muscle end up small."

I have said the same thing for a LONG while. Agree 100%
