"Maingaining" is not the answer. If you have definite goals of wanting to build muscle and gain strength to a significant degree - and you're currently within a low to moderate body fat percentage - then you need a calorie surplus to maximize your muscle gains. However, for some individuals with a smaller appetite and/or "faster metabolism" this isn't always easy. I get questions fairly often from people saying that they're "bulking but feel full all the time" and are looking for solutions. If you're currently struggling to eat enough calories to gain muscle, make sure to watch today's video through as I outline several simple muscle building diet tips to help you easily bump up your calorie intake without even necessarily needing to consume a higher volume of food. Employ just one or two of these and you shouldn't have any issues hitting your calorie target for the day for consistent, ongoing muscle growth.

The problem isn't my appetite, it's my wallet...

[lellysramos]

Dude, I live in Puerto Rico where a hurricane just cut off energy throughout the entire island and for a week and a half I wasn't able to eat enough calories to continue my lean bulk, losing about 3 pounds in the process. So this video really helped and I'm gonna make sure to put these tips into practice.

This is perfect man. all my life I’m eating too much, 3 months of weight training and I’m not eating enough 🤷‍♂️ 🤦🏿‍♂️ this video comes in handy. The internet is easiest to lose sight on what’s real and what’s realistic. I hope this reaches the masses, Sean. You’re like a fitness fairy 🧚

[mateo]

[TUALATINboy]

These tips are so good. They’re easily applicable and result in significant improvements for people struggling with bulking. Great video!

[Ianjames-cywn]

At Last!!! Good advice straight and clean without waffle. Thankyou, thankyou Sean. I shall watch for other vids.

[MHM]

Always producing solid content. The tip about junk food definitely helps as I've gone 'too clean' in my diet for fear of long term health consequences, but as you stated, moderate amounts are fine. Keep it up 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[huntersmith]

Amazing video! These tips are super useful and really educational. Question for you... have you ever tried Next Level Diet? I got a muscle-building meal plan from them that's worked wonders for me.

Just received my training plan today, and just wanted to say thank you Sean. It is all detailed and complete, I REALLY appreciate how much effort you put into it, as a fitness influencer. Keep going on dude 💪

[JackedFerret]

Hey Sean (you may never look @ this), I just wanted to let you know that your approach to fitness is the most healthy one I've seen on the platform. I've overcome an eating disorder, gotten into fitness, and have gained 7 pounds of muscle :) I've also been okay with the small amount of fat that's come along with it, all thanks to you!

[TheQuilava]

So glad you’re back man and these tips just came right on time. I have a low appetite in general, even though I’m growing muscle, so I’ve been trying to force feed myself feeling like crap. This should definitely help out. Sometimes the solutions really are so simple.

[alfiemarie]

i love this sean. very easy to understand, direct, and sweet and concise. appreciate it!

[Mastobog]

Just came across your channel and loving the content Sean. Too many content creators passing around incorrect info, or inventing nuances and accessory exercised just to generate content without regard for real effectiveness. As someone who has spent countless hours researching nutrition and fitness, it's relieving to find a source of knowledge I can respect and trust.

Just as a small note - having analyzed more than a few papers on protein intake as it relates to muscle synthesis, I 've found that when I followed the funding, the ones that claim high amounts of protein intake (.8-1.2g / lb of bodyweight) almost always had funding from a sports nutrition company. When I specifically tried to find only studies with academic funding, the findings were that there was no statistically significant difference in muscle synthesis (looking as trained athletes, not newbies) at amounts more than 1g / KG of bodyweight - about half the amount recommended in most other studies and commonly echoed on the internet.

In this vid you recommend the lower range of what the "standard" number is, what are your thoughts that even this is a number inflated by bias in the nutritional studies? Anecdotally I've found I make much better gains with protein levels around 100g per day (I weigh 210lb / 95kg) because trying to go over that amount makes hitting a decent calorie intake difficult without drowning myself in meat. My personal take on this is that if protein makes up too high a percentage of your calories, you aren't building muscle with the protein, you're burning it for energy.
