actually while you sleep is when your muscles repair themselves. testostorone is released while you sleep, why you think you wake up with a boner every morning??? so YES protein before you sleep will HELP! GNC and places like that even have special night time nitro stack and stuff like that if you really wanna get serious about it

Yup, he is correct. Consume protein prior to going to sleep so it can be used to repair and
grow your muscles. Check out this site for more info on changing your body www.rippednaturally.com

How to Gain Weight... Quick & Easy
I get a lot of e-mails and phone calls from customers seeking guidance on how to gain weight. In this article I'll give an overview of how to go about gaining weight quickly and effectively without having to take out a second mortgage. If followed correctly with discipline & hard work, you should be able to put on a good weight gain of about 20lbs in short order. Let's get to it.

Gain Weight Step 1 - eating

Eating is the first and most important factor that is needed to gain weight. It's simple - you need to eat more calories than you burn. This does not mean eating anything and everything that is not nailed down. Carefully plan your meals with foods that will help you gain lean mass, not fat. I suggest 6 meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and three other small meals scheduled throughout the day. The goal is to eat every 2.5 to 3 hours.

Focus on foods such as steak, chicken, fruit, milk, vegetables, cheese and assorted types of nuts. It's recommended to eat 4 - 6 pieces of fresh fruit a day, and at least four tall glasses of milk. Milk is a great, cheap protein source - take advantage of it. A sample snack meal would be a glass of milk, an apple, and a hand full of peanuts.

Take time to lay out a meal plan. What you eat is the most important ingredient in a successful weight gain program.

Gain Weight Step 2 - lifting

As stated, proper eating is of utmost importance when attempting to gain weight, but if you do not lift weights, the majority of that gained weight will be fat - not muscle.

When trying to gain weight, I suggest working out three times a week. You need to lift hard and then recover for the next workout. Focus on the big exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bent-over rows, chin-ups, bench press, & military press. These are the exercises that will turn those extra calories into muscle. You are not going to gain much by doing lateral raises and step-ups every workout. You need the multiple-joint lifts that will shock your system and stimulate your body into growth. Focus on getting strong by adding a small amount of weight each workout. If you focus on strength, size will follow. Case in point, look around at your local gym - the strongest guys are also the biggest.
If your training routine is working, then stick with it. If you're not getting the results you need check out Bob Myhal's Ultimate Muscle Mass Training Program. It is, quite simply, the best muscle-gaining program around. It rocks!

Gain Weight Step 3 - supplements

To gain weight, you do not NEED supplements, but they will help you gain the weight quicker. That's what they are, supplements to an already good diet and training program. Think of supplements as the finishing touch.

I like to keep things simple and, therefore, I suggest only two types supplements for those wishing to gain weight. The first is a weight gain shake. The shakes I recommend are ProLab's N Large 2. It's the best value out there. The way N' Large 2 will help is by giving you a large quantity of calories in one small serving. It will provide you with 620 calories in one easy shake and is especially great for people who do not have time for breakfast, or snacks while on the go. Just mix a serving with water or fruit juice and gulp it down in a just a couple of minutes.

The second product is basic Creatine monohydrate. Most people gain 5 - 7lbs in the first two weeks of Creatine use. If you are interested in quick weight gain, and increased energy for your workouts, Creatine is definitely worth a go. American Creatine is a good choice if you're not sure of which product to choose. It's high-quality and inexpensive, a winning combo in my book



How much will you gain?

First, I feel I must cite the obligatory disclaimer of "everyone's body responds in different ways, so results will vary." That said, if you do eat well, lift hard and use just the 2 supplements mentioned above properly, you can expect a weight gain of about 10-15lbs within a month. I hope this article has provided you with an idea of what's needed for successful weight gain.

What you ought to do is try to figure out your calorie needs.

Using a Basal Metabolic Rate calculator (like this: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ ) is handy to find out how many calories you need just to maintain your current weight. For instance, my BMR is around 2950 (i'm 6'5" and ~325), so I would need to consume 2950 Calories just to maintain that weight if I was just laying around all day.

All you need to do after that is add calories for what you need. If you just want to gain weight, a good way to do it is 1 lbs per week, or about 300-500 extra calories per day. Slow, but healthy. If you are going to be exercising a lot, then you obviously need more calories, because you will be burning more. In that case, you might need 1000-1500 additional calories, depending on how hard you are working out.

During the summer, I ride my bike as hard as I can every day for about 10 miles. During that time, I need to be eating almost 3900 calories just to maintain my weight and have energy. I almost never eat that much, but it works out.

Be sure to look at nutrient dense foods, and don't go after the junk food. Also, don't put too much stock in the BMI scale. It's all well and good if you don't do any exercise, but according to it, I am almost obese because of my height, even though I carry a lot of muscle from exercising.

I just took a nutrition class in school, hence the long post. Hope it helps!
