This 5000 calorie diet plan is ideal for anyone who is aiming to eat around 5000 calories a day as part of a mass building program. What most people realise is that to gain weight and muscle you need to consume more calories.
To work out if how many calories you need to consume each day in order to gain weight, you need to do a simple sum.
Take your bodyweight in lbs and multiply this by 20 . This should give you the amount of calories you need to eat per day in order to gain weight.
For example
250lbs x 20 = 5000 Calories
So a person weighing 250lbs would need to consume approx 5000 calories per day to gain weight.
This should lead to rapid gain in size, combined with the right foods and a good mass building weight lifting program you can expect some excellent gains in muscle size in a just a few short weeks.
5000 calories is a massive amount of food, this sort of diet should only be used by someone who needs to consume that amount to gain weight.
Here is an example of one of the meals from the 5000 calorie meal plan
There are 6 meals to the day consisting of main meals and snacks. There are in the following order:
6:00 am Breakfast 9:00 am Snack 11:30 am Snack 1:00 pm Mid Meal 4:00 pm Dinner 7:00 pm Snack
(You can change the times to suit your own lifestyle)
The meals (total number of calories) are split throughout the day into 6 meals. Each meal is spaced out 2-3 hours apart. This will provide your body with nutrients constantly throughout the day. You should never go more then 4 hours with ingesting some sort of protein as your body will start using muscle tissue for energy.
Want more muscle?? .. Well you need more food to build it. No matter how long you spend in the gym you will not gain muscle without the protein it needs to grow.

To build muscle muscles you need to consume specific nutrients throughout the day and at specific intervals.
You will have to eat high quality protein, natural/unrefined carbohydrates, and a small amount of healthy fat. Foods that provide a mixture of quality proteins, carbohydrates, and fats in the right ratios are the best foods for muscle building.
Proteins are the best foods for muscle building, as you probably already know. Each meal must contain quality proteins from healthy sources such as fish, lean cuts of meat, low-fat dairy, and protein powders. Boneless, skinless turkey or chicken breasts are also good foods for muscles building.
