When Seth is trying to gain size, he like incorporating calorie dense shakes to start off his day. Drinking liquid calories in the morning helps him consume the amount he needs to gain weight without feeling too full.
Even though the shake is roughly 800 calories, Seth is still able to eat a whole food based meal 1.5-2 hours later. If you're a hard gainer, which means you struggle with putting on size, then this recipe will be extremely helpful! You can stick with the amounts listed below or adjust them according to your daily macros and calories.
The most important thing when it comes to building muscle is consuming more calories than you burn on a daily basis without going overboard. It's a good idea to set your calories at 250-500 above your maintenance, which is how many calories it takes to maintain your current weight.
From there, aim to consume at least 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight, 0.3-0.5 grams of fat per pound of bodyweight, and leave the rest for carbohydrates. This macro breakdown will put in you the best position to build muscle, strength, and size!
