Check out the first episode of MuscleBlaze- Gain weight in a low budget; where model, actor, Naaptol anchor, and fitness trainer Vinayak Sinha will showcase some of the most beneficial meals/recipes which will help you gain in a healthy way without straining your budget.

All the recipes mentioned in this video will cost you less than Rs 60 per meal and will help you in maintaining your daily required calorie intake for gaining.

The simple science behind gaining is consuming more than you burn. Say, if you consume 2000 calories a day and by doing work or any other physical activities throughout the day, you burn those 2000 calories, then you are left with no calories. Under this situation, you will face difficulty gaining, because you are burning all the calories consumed. In order to gain, you need to have a calorie surplus. If you burn 2000 calories a day then you need to consume 2500 calories. You will be left with 500 surplus calories which will help you gain.

To begin with the gaining process, the first thing that you need to do is to get your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) report.
What is BMR?
BMR is the number of calories your body requires to complete its basic life-sustaining functions.

Say, if your BMR is 1600 calories, to gain muscles, multiply it by 1.8. (It is suggestive as per nutritionists.) This value ranges from 1.5 to 1.8. Now when we multiply 1600 calories with1.8, we get 2880 calories. These are the calories that you require to gain.

Muscle gain ratio
Carbs: 50%
Fats: 20%
Protein: 30%

On breaking down the nutritional value-
1g protein gives you 4 calories.
1g carb gives you 4 calories.
1g fat gives you 9 calories.

Now, when you want to calculate the calories you require from each of these components, do as following:
Calories to be consumed in carbs: 50/100*2880= 1440 calories
This means that your total calorie intake from carbs should be 1440 calories.
1440 cal/4 cal= 360g carbs (This is the quantity of carbs you need to include in your daily diet).

Calories to be consumed in protein: 30/100*2880= 864 calories
This means that your total calorie intake from proteins should be 864 calories.
864 cal/4 cal= 216g protein (This is the quantity of protein you need to include in your daily diet).

Calories to be consumed in fat: 20/100*2880= 576 calories
This means that your total calorie intake from fats should be 576 calories.
576 cal/ 9 cal+ 64g fats (This is the quantity of fats you need to include in your daily diet).

So now that you know how much of these components you need to include in your daily diet, let’s move forward to some quick and healthy recipes which will help you in gaining without straining your budget.
