my biggest problem with nutrition and gaining muscle is that i’m lazy when it comes to preparing meals and i don’t have very healthy snack foods. I’m skinny so i’m not trying to lose weight and i’m 16 so my metabolism is crazy. Like i said i’m lazy with meals so if its just me i just grab some crackers or a pop-tart. But what snacks could i load my pantry up with that’ll help me gain weight/muscle? And i’m working on the laziness issue too at the moment. Thanks

Well try eating some things that are healthy such as vegetables,fruits..etc
Obviously, junk food is not doing a thing for you
theres alot of protein on chicken so try have somehting with it such as rice or pasta and make up a simple sauce to go with it.
Egg is good for dieting but wuld advice to eat more than just egg
Are you lifting weights/working out?
In my opinion, 16 is on the young side to be trying to force muscle growth. I lifted heavy and hard when I was your age and didn’t start to really put muscle on until I went off to college. If you are healthy with diet and exercise your body will start to put on some muscle when it’s ready.
If you are eating pop tarts and the like I’d be more concerned with developing a healthy diet for life than trying to force on some weight (which will only be fat unless you are working out).
go to gnc and they will pimp you out with muscle gain powders and bars and liquids!!lol!!
You need to add an extra 500 calories intake from your normal intake everyday to gain weight. The most you can gain per week is 1 lb. To get bigger or to gain muscle, you have to exercise. It’s very essential that you weight train 3 times a week. Do a little bit of cardio to maintain decent cardiovascular endurance. The word ‘lazy’ will not do you any good if you want to accomplish a goal.
to gain muscle/ get bigger
1. intake of 500 extra calories per day
2. exercise 3 times a week, each time 30 minutes
3. eat more carbohydrate foods, 65% carb/ 20 %protein/15% others.
