You can snack between the meals, but only after 2 to 3 hours after you have eaten a meal. An ideal snack is a fruit smoothie (apricots, pears, bananas…) in which you can add cereals, honey, raisins, nuts, whip cream, ice-cream. A fruit salad in which you can add honey, nuts, dried fruits can also be a delicious and nurturing snack also.

You must drink at least 8 cups of water daily, between the meals.

When you start the muscle gain program don’t forget to weigh and measure yourself. Calculate how many calories you burn daily. If you want to gain muscles you must eat 500 more calories than usually. That is if you were maintaining a constant weight.

Weigh and measure yourself every week so you can analyze your results. If you see results don’t forget to reward yourself and be proud of your results.
