Bulk up fast by eating 400g of protein on workout days – Serious Trainers Only!

Food on a strength training day is incredibly important if you want to see results. It is recommended to eat at least 250g of protein on a weight lifting day. I am going to go further and tell you which foods will help you achieve 400g of protein in a training day. If you do this twice a week on one training day, you can expect to see results very, very quickly.

400g is a large amount of protein that will probably only be consumed after about a month of allowing your body to get used to eating large amounts of protein on a daily basis. Here are some of the foods and techniques that will help you achieve the hallowed “400 in a day.”

It is important to note that due to the unusual levels of food consumed in a day, you should only eat what you are comfortable eating and NEVER force eat. This is simply a recommended guide on how to achieve 400g of protein in a day and should be tailored to your size and stature.

Protein shake

You will need about 4 shakes during the day, 3 small shakes with a protein content of about 30g and one large shake after training that has about 50-60g of protein. This shake should be taken as soon as possible after finishing the workout.

Big meal after training

After your shake you need to have a high protein meal, consisting of protein only, your goal is 100g of protein here. The 2 easiest foods to do this without spending a fortune are whole chicken or canned tuna. Tuna is very high in lean protein, you are looking for around 4 cans of tuna to complete the 100g.

between snacks

Eat protein-rich snacks, such as almonds and dried walnuts, between meals or shakes.

Breakfast

Implement the use of eggs in your diet to get the most benefit from high protein foods. Take 4 to 6 eggs in the morning along with a glass of milk. On training days, eat a breakfast rich in carbohydrates.

4 meals

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are the 3 main meals that people have every day. But for your high-calorie training program, you should implement a fourth meal to make up for the extra protein intake. The best time to place this is around 9 o’clock.

If you manage to hit 400g in one day, twice a week, you’ll soon be able to achieve significant muscle gain using a proven muscle building system.
