You can of course add more meals or increase portion sizes to increase the calories. You may also add some other foods, but be sure to read food labels and other references to determine the amount of protein, carbs, fat, and calories in the serving.

Consistency is the key. This takes alot of discipline. You can have a cheat meal once or twice a week during the mass building phase. During the cutting phase, you will need to change the diet drastically. That information will be published in a later article.
