 What's going on Beast Nation? It's David here, and in this video I'm gonna give you five diet tips for skinny guys to help you bulk up and build muscle as fast as possible. Let's get started! All right, so in this video we're gonna focus exclusively on diet and nutrition, so if you're also looking for bulking workout tips I actually just did a video on that last week. That being said, number one is once per week and what I mean is that you should weigh yourself once and only once every single week. Weighing yourself is the only way to measure whether your bulking diet is working or not. And remember your goal here is to gain about half a pound per week or two pounds per month because that is roughly our body's natural limit for building muscle. So if you're gaining weight a lot faster than that you're just gonna be gaining fat and if you're not gaining weight at that rate then you're probably not gonna be bulking up or building any muscle at all. And the reason that I say once per week here is because if you weigh yourself more frequently than that you're just gonna get thrown off and confused by your day-to-day fluctuations in water weight. And last thing about this, you want to make sure when you do weigh yourself that it's the first thing in the morning after you use the bathroom, but before you eat anything because that's when you're closest to your true weight. Keep those dishes up later, bro. Let's keep this video going. Number two is the one-two rule. And basically what this means is that you want to be sure to eat a meal within one to two hours before and one to two hours after your workout. You have to realize that they've done a lot of different studies on pre-workout and post-workout nutrition. Some found that a small serving of protein before your workout is the most important thing for maximizing muscle growth. While others found that eating protein and carbs immediately after your workout is more important. Now, it's impossible to know who's right, but that's why I recommend that you eat both soon before and soon after your workout if you want to be absolutely certain that you're doing everything in your power to bulk up fast. Personally, I would not eat immediately before your workout because that could upset your stomach. And also, you don't need to eat right after you finish your last set because a lot of studies have confirmed there's not that big of a difference eating immediately post-workout versus, you know, waiting an hour or so. But one thing is for certain, you want to make sure that your meal contains a mixture of protein and carbs because both of these things have been shown to have potential muscle-boosting benefits. I hope that makes sense. Now it's time for me to head to the gym because as you know, I just ate!

Anyway, number three is to focus on calories. And yes, I know in the previous tip we just talked about pre- and post-workout nutrition, but you have to realize that at the end of the day, the number one most important thing about your diet is that you're eating the right amount of calories every day to maintain a slow, steady weight gain. Now, I'll link my diet calculator in the description so you can get a quick estimate about what your body needs. But you've got to realize that if you're not eating the right amount of calories, then it does not matter how much protein you're eating or when you're eating before or after your workouts, you're not going to see any progress. Calories, calories, calories! I cannot stress this enough, bro. Only when you've taken care of your calories should you worry about your protein. And honestly, beyond that, I do not even track my fats or my carbs. And now, bro, it's time to do a little giveaway. This company, Alpha Delta, sent me a pair of their Bluetooth wireless headphones to test out, but they also gave me two extra pairs to give away to my fans. So, to enter the giveaway, you just have to subscribe to me on YouTube and turn on notifications, follow me on Instagram, at How2Beast, and tag a friend in the comments of my new Instagram photo from today, Monday, January 22nd. Now, let's hit the gym, but keep watching because after that, I have the final two tips coming your way and you don't want to miss them. Just with these little guys right here. So, go into the giveaway now, and if you're not feeling lucky, then I will link them on Amazon in the description below. They go for like $70, which is less than half the price of my Dre Power Beats, and I'd say they're just as good. Alright, guys, tip number four is key supplements. So, again, your main focus should be staying consistent with your overall calories, but there are a few proven supplements that can help you out. The first one is creatine, and taking five grams of creatine every day has been shown to help increase strength and muscle mass. Now, when you're getting creatine, just get basic creatine monohydrate. Don't waste your money on something that's like a designer creatine that's more expensive. Next up is pre-workout, and if you take one that has the proven dosages of beta-alanine, citrulline malate, and caffeine, it's actually been proven to help you perform more reps and increase your muscular endurance in the gym, which is also going to help you build more muscle. And third and finally, protein powder. Now, there's nothing magical about protein powder. It's just a more convenient way to fit protein into your diet. I personally take one scoop a day with my Gainer Shake. I also use creatine in the Gainer Shake, and I'm about to show you that in a second. And this one right here is my favorite protein just because it has literally the best taste ever. And good news, you can get a little discount on this pre-workout and this protein powder if you use my coupon code. I will put the link in the description. It's every day, bro. And that leads me to the fifth and final tip, which is keep it simple. If you watch my channel, then you know every single morning for breakfast, I have bacon and eggs. And every day for lunch, I have a Gainer Shake. Why are you doing that, David? On one hand, I like the taste of this shit. On the other hand, it's all very cheap food. And third and most importantly, it makes sure that I stay consistent with my overall calories. Regardless of how busy I am, I know I can fit in both of these meals. And I know by the time it gets to dinner time, I'm already at 2,000 calories for the day. You need to figure out some basic meals for you and then you need to stick to them. It makes shopping for groceries easier. It makes your whole life easier. You don't need variety if you want to successfully bulk up. You just need a simple plan that's easy to stick to. Anyway, those are five quick bulking diet tips.
