If you want to gain weight, there are several things you can do, right now, that will speed up the weight gain process.

The first thing you have to do is plan. With work, school, or travel, it can be tough to stick with a weight gain or workout program. But if you plan a little, you'd be surprised how much progress you can make.

Prepare meals in bulk, the night before, and take them with you in Tupperware. Start to bring meal replacement packets with you, to use in case you can't get a regular, whole food meal.

Not only will buying and cooking in bulk help you keep food handy so you're getting the needed calories, it can also be cheaper to buy in bulk.

With a little planning, there should be no reason you can't get all of your necessary meals in you each day.

Also, when you're trying to gain weight, you really need to focus more on your diet than on your weight training.

After all, we gain weight by eating calories, not by lifting. Sure, lifting will help stimulate muscle mass growth, but if you don't eat the proper amount of calories and the right types of calories, you will not be able to gain muscle weight.

So start to devote more time each day to how you're eating and less time towards your training. If you start to do this, you will start to gain weight much faster.

You're not going to add the muscle mass weight you want if you don't give your body the nutrients and calories it needs.

It would be like trying to build a house without the wood, cement, and steel needed as raw materials.

And the most important thing you can do, right now, is to begin gradually increasing your calories. You don't want to eat too few calories, like we talked about, but you also don't want to increase your calories too quickly.

If you're eating 2500 calories a day and you want to gain muscle weight, start to add 300-500 calories to that, bringing you to 2800 to 3000 calories.

Follow this for 7 days before increasing your calories again. By adding calories slowly like this, you don't shock your body into storing these extra calories as fat.

Introducing calories slowly will help your body use this extra energy for muscle growth and tissue repair.

So if you want to gain weight in less time, you need to start planning for it to happen. Begin to focus more on how you're eating and worry less about your training.

Gaining weight comes from eating, not training. And begin to increase your calories slowly, since we have to create a calorie surplus in order for weight gain to occur.

By following these techniques, you should be able to gain weight a lot easier and in a lot less time.
