High Calorie Foods to Compliment Your Exercise Routine

High calorie food consumption goes hand in hand with an intense exercise routine, and that statement is doubly true for hardgainers. I've had a few posts on here lately that deal specifically with hardgainers because I think there's no such thing as a "true" hardgainer. Calling yourself that just makes you think you have a reason for not gaining muscle mass.

Well, remember this: You don't have a reason!

With the right workouts and enough calorie intake every day, you should be able to gain as much muscle as you could ever hope for.

So what are a few high calorie foods you should look for? In another post I stated that hardgainers should be eating at least 4,000 calories every day. Even if you're not a hardgainer, you're probably looking for at least 2,000 calories each and every day, and those numbers can be hard to hit if you're not eating enough food to compliment the intensity of your daily workout routine.

So here are a few high calorie foods to get you on track.

Almonds: A single ounce of delicious almonds has roughly 160 calories. Almonds are also full of healthy fats and calcium.

Whole milk: A cup of whole milk has about 150 calories, mostly made up of protein. It also has plenty of minerals and vitamins, so keep a glass nearby throughout the day.

Olive oil or butter: Use it as much as you can, especially the extra virgin olive oil.
