Free Weight Gain Diet Plans

3000, 4000 and 5000 Calorie Sample Meal Plans

All hardgainers have different bodies and different goals. Some of us may need 3000 calories to start growing, others may need 4000, and even some of us unfortunate extreme hardgainers, may need even 5000 a day. I know eating that much may be extremely difficult, but it sure as hell isn’t impossible. Remember, if you’re a hardgainer, you have to accept that you are going to be in this for the long haul, and nothing is more important than dedication and information when it comes to gaining weight. If you absolutely don’t have the time to create all those meals below, I suggest getting a weight gain shake. Below is a sample 3000, 4000 and 5000 calorie meal diet for you guys.
