Most of the diet plan out there focuses on weight loss, but there are quite a number of you who has been requesting for a WEIGHT GAIN meal plan. The truth is, gaining weight can be more challenging compared to lose weight.

The 1st rule is you need to eat A LOT more than what you’re currently consuming. But that doesn’t mean you should be eating junk food because your body needs proper nutrient to grow your muscles in a healthy way.

An average female needs between 1600 – 2000Cals a day to maintain her weight. To gain weight, you need between 2000 – 3000Cals a day depending on your body composition & activity level. I’ve put together this meal plan which is above 2000Cals.

This meal plan is for Monday – Wednesday. For variety, do hop on to Linora Low’s channel to check out the meal plan from Thursday to Saturday here:

Lazy Student Meals in 15 Minutes | Healthy, Cheap, Fast
SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/SUBJoannaSoh | Follow my IG: https://instagram.com/joannasohofficial/

Just like you, I was once a student, and the truth is, you can get really lazy to cook for yourself especially when you are living on your own with very limited space and cooking utensils.

During my first year in Uni, I ate out every single day and without even realising it, I started gaining weight. It wasn’t until towards the end of my 2nd year, where I started to learn to cook for myself. I had no idea what I was doing. So it was super basic cooking, with very little ingredients, but hey, that got back on a healthier eating track and that’s how I got into fitness.

Here are 3 of my favourite student meals, which I still cook up till today because they are easy, you won’t need a lot of ingredients or space and they can be ready in under 15 minutes.

What’s your favourite LAZY recipe. Let me know in the comments below. Do share your food pictures with me, tag me @JoannaSohOfficial #JSohRecipes

READ below for the recipes and steps.
