| A typical lunch or dinner for me. |
I was asked if I knew how to gain weight eating the Paleo diet. For me personally, I can’t. I am wondering if anyone out there has had success with this. Currently I am not eating 100% strict Paleo, but more of a focus on eating whole natural foods as much as possible, but not getting to hung up on the fine details when I go out for dinner. This is what my current diet/ schedule looks like:
One big thing I do is try to limit carb intake before work outs, then eat like a pig after. If you want to gain weight, you always have to be stuffing your face. If you want to do it strict paleo, then you would need a lot of carbs-squash,rice,yams along with red meat, eggs etc.
Basically my philosophy is, I try to keep everything healthy in my house, and eat there most of the time.
I don’t count calories or carbs but a typical day looks like this:
