Hardgainer Meal Plan on a Budget

It needs to be assumed that you are already training hard on a regular basis and getting plenty of good quality sleep. The ultimate objective when eating correctly for muscle gain is to have up to 7 meals a day. It is going to take some planning to be able to do this correctly like walking out your door with 5 prepared meals in your gym bag takes time and effort.

Although the meal plan listed below is seven meals it can start with three and then one added each week. Just like the progressive resistance you do in the gym, your results for fat-loss and muscle gain come from consistency and routine. Your body looks the way it does because of what you eat every day and not what you eat once a week.

The budget limitations are also going to be assumed to be able to afford the basics like a cheap whey protein. Purchasing fresh and unprocessed foods wherever possible is also to be assumed. The following diet will help you gain muscle if you are training regularly.
