5500 Calorie Meal Plan For Building Muscle And Burning Fat
This 5500 calorie diet plan is ideal for anyone who is aiming to eat around 5500 calories a day as part of a mass building program. What most people realize is that to gain weight and muscle you need to consume more calories.
The Advanced Weight Gain is for the extreme ectomorph who can eat whatever he wants and never get fat. This formula is also good for those who don't care about fat gains and simply want pure size.
The maintenance, progressive weight gain and advanced weight gain plans are all based on 35% Protein, 45% Carbohydrates and 25% fat.
5500 calories is a lot of food and this diet should only be followed by someone serious about gaining muscle size and strength and someone who is serious about bulking up. If you are looking to loose fat then this diet is not for you, unless you are extremely over weight in the first place.
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.
Here is an example of one of the meals from the 5500 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 of this 5500 calorie meal plan 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.
A great tool to help you with your diet and sticking to your meal plan. If you fail to plan then you plan to fail. Planning your meals in advance is a sure fire way of sticking with them.
