I told you guys that I would be doing a follow up to my Hardgainer Weight Gain Guide post, and the Calorie Calculator below is extremely useful.
Instructions on use.
1st - Choose which units you'd like to use.
2nd - Choose your gender.
3rd - Enter your height.
4th - Enter your weight.
5th - Enter your age.
6th - Choose Gain 1lb per week
7th - Choose your activity level! Be honest!
8th - Interpret information.
Tweaking the results -
This hardgainer calorie calculator only gives you the option to add on 1lb per week. If you'd like to add on 2lbs per week, simply add another 500 calories to the recommended amount of calories the calculator stated to consume to gain 1lb per week.
Why is this vital to your success?
Well, to be totally honest with you, you're probably not eating enough to maintain, let alone gain weight. If you're a hardgainer, which I assume you are, since you're viewing this page, then you must eat at least 500 more calories then your body needs to operate on a daily basis.
Do the Math!
- 3,500 calories = 1lb.
- You'll have 3,500 calories stored at the end of each week.
- Which = 1lb added to your body.
- 7,000 calories = 2lbs.
- You'll have 7,000 calories stored at the end of each week.
- Which = 2lbs added to your body.
Either route is a good route to take!
Usually, trainers recommend eating 500 more calories than your intake, because eating 1,000 usually means that your body will store a little more fat.
However, if you don't mind gaining the wait now, and toning up later, go ahead and eat the 1,000. You'll gain a good 8 pounds, (instead of 4 pounds), per month that way.
