7 High Carb Foods for Hardgainers - Gain Weight Fast

What's going on ?

Muscle Monsters , a Lion Gonzalez here .

And today I got a video for my fellow hard Gainers if you are finding it hard to put on size , no matter how much you eat .

Um , and I've said this before , you're not eating enough .

All right .

And typically as a hard gainer , you are going to be able to fit much more carbs into your diet than most people .

All right , the problem is , um , a lot of the time we either don't have the appetite or we think we're eating more than we are .

Um , but what I wanna share today are a few , um , high carb sources that you can implement into your diet to make sure that you're getting enough carbs without feeling overly stuffed all day .

All right .

Now , the first thing I wanna say , um , I guess it's not the first thing anymore , but , um , in terms of fiber , right ?

We know how important fiber intake is , but when your carbs are so high , um , you typically can hit your fiber pretty easily .

However , I do wanna say that , um , it's something that you should consider , um , in your diet and that's , you know , making sure you hit your fiber for sure .

All right .

A lot of these foods are not high in fiber .

Um , for the simple reason , again that you want carbs that are not gonna make you feel too full throughout the day , uh , and kill your appetite and , um , just make sure you're hitting your total fiber for the day and not necessarily going over because that's not going to help you .

All right .

So let's jump right in .

Uh first things first .

Rice .

All right .

Rice I like because it's easy to consume a lot in a city .

Um And you get a lot of bang for your buck .

So a cup of rice which is typically what you will uh consume in a meal uh comes out to about 40 g of carbs .

But what you also have to remember is that when you're eating rice , you're never really ever eating rice on its own .

You might add something like beans , whether they're black or kidney beans either way .

Um It's another high carb source , right ?

With um a cup of beans you're adding in another roughly 40 g of carbs .

So just in your beans and your rice , that's 80 g of carbs in one sitting .

OK ?

Another thing is um I am a huge bread eater .

All right .

But when I'm trying to put on size and I need more carbs than usual .

Uh I'll substitute my bread with bagels uh because there's just more volume .

Uh , one bagel gets you 53 g of carbs and I can easily sit down , consume two of these .

All right .

So we're talking over 100 g of carbs in two bagels in one quick sitting .

All right .

So just with two bagels in the morning and some rice and beans at night , you're already looking at close to 200 g of carbs for the day .

Just in two meals .

All right .

Another thing I really like are potatoes .

All right , whether it's , you know , sweet potatoes , white potatoes or red potatoes .

Um , you can typically consume high volumes of these .

Um , let me see here .

I typically will have what comes out to two servings , which equates to about 50 g of carbs .

And then on top of that , I'll add some low fat uh barbecue sauce that adds another 20 g of carbs , making it about 70 g of carbs in one medium size meal .

All right .

Um Another thing I like to add , especially during breakfast is this quick instant oatmeal .

Um , I typically will have two packets .

Maybe , sometimes I'll have three and per packet .

You're looking at close to 30 g .

So if you eat two or three , we're looking at 60 to 90 grams of carbs in one simple sitting .

And once you finish that , you're probably not going to be full for too long .

And thus , you know , you'll have the appetite for your next meal and you don't have to worry about , you know , not wanting to eat more throughout the day .

Ok .

What's next ?

All right .

Fruit .

I love fruit .

It's a great source of , uh , of carbs , um , micronutrients .

And , um , I'm doing it a little bit different though .

I like dried fruit , uh , particularly , uh , dried bananas , um , because they're easy to consume , um , in high amounts .

So , if you've ever sit , sat down to eat chips , you never eat one serving of chips .

Same thing goes with these , I never sit down and eat one serving , right ?

Because I kind of just snack on them and you're gonna get almost 20 g of carbs per a third a cup .

And usually in a sitting if I'm just kinda working and snacking , um , I'll have , you know , maybe a whole cup of these pretty easily .

So we're looking at a quick 60 g of carbs , um , just with some dried fruit .

All right , you guys have seen me talk about pasta .

Uh , a lot , especially this brand .

It's high in protein .

Um , but the amount of carbs in there is just ridiculous .

This is any hard gainer's dream .

Uh Let me see , I'll tell you right now in one serving , um , which is about two ounces , you'll get 40 g of carbs .

Ok ?

But you never have just two ounces .

I typically have , you know , maybe 4 to 6 ounces , which is a lot .

But even if you took , uh , or if you had you know , a normal amount or what I would consider to be normal , maybe four ounces .

You're looking at , um , 80 g of carbs , um , just in your pasta .

All right .

It's also very high in protein .

You're looking at , um , about 20 g of protein in , in a , a serving of about four ounces .

All right , not to mention whatever other protein sources you add to your pasta .

All right .

And then this last one is kind of just something I wanted to throw in .

Uh I know a lot of you guys out there probably eat cereal .

I go um the cas uh kind , it's um 13 g of protein .

Uh But more importantly , you're getting 35 g of carbs in one cup of this .

You're also getting uh a nice deal of fiber .

All right , 10 g , which is typically pretty high for one meal , especially if you're trying not to get too full .

But um I still uh definitely would recommend this cereal .

Um But what I do is I add some kind of a granola .

I typically like this lower fat granola .

It's the uh oats and honey .

It adds an extra 10 g of protein , but it also adds another 32 g of carbs making , you know , one bowl of cereal , about 70 g of carbs plus about 23 g of protein .

All right .
