  Eat foods with a weight of 20Kcal. If your weight is 140 kilograms, you need 140 x 20 every day 2800kcal calories. You need about two weeks to get used to eating so many calories and keep records.

  Increase calories: After two weeks, add 500kcal calories per day. If you still eat so many calories in the first two weeks, you won’t feel nauseous. For people weighing 140 catties, the calories in two weeks need to increase from 2800kcal to 3300kcal.

  Record weight: measure your weight every week. If you gain weight, eat the same calories. If you do not increase your weight, you need to increase 500kcal calories every day next week. Keep following this method before you get a satisfactory weight.

  Second: Eat 6 times a day.

  Don’t rely on drinking coffee to beat your stomach. Develop the habit of eating six meals a day , you can't forget the few times in the middle!

  Eat breakfast: If you don't eat breakfast, your body will consume muscles. If you want to turn from skin to bone into a muscular man, you need to eat within an hour after getting up and develop the habit of eating breakfast.

  Eat every three hours: Set the time for each meal and strictly abide by it. Breakfast at 7 am, breakfast at 10 am, lunch at 1 pm, lunch at 4 pm, lunch at 7 pm, dinner at 7 pm, and late-night snacks at 10 pm before going to bed.

  Alternating amounts of meals: If you eat 3000 Kcal every day, try breakfast, lunch and dinner at 600 Kcal, and other 400 kcal. There is no accurate scientific basis for this. What is important is the calories of daily/weekly/monthly, not the calories of each meal.
