How To Gain Massive Size & Muscle With This Simple Sandwich

If you want to gain muscle you need calories and protein. [clickToTweet tweet=”Good calories and good protein equal lean gains. Bad calories and bad protein equal little gains and more fat gains.” quote=”Good calories and good protein equal lean gains. Bad calories and bad protein equal little gains and more fat gains.”] You want good quality food essentially.  I have put together a quick recipe that I use all the time.  I use it all the time because I am an ectomorph (skinny frame), and I need calories and protein all the time in order to maintain my body weight of 190lbs at 6 foot tall.  I’m a lean, mean fighting machine.  I can see my abs (got like a 4 pack), and I’m 42 years old.  I eat a lot.  Here is my Massive, Muscle, Simply Protein Sandwich.

First is the bread.  I recommend making your own protein.  You can buy P28 high protein bread, but it tastes like rubber, has sugar, soy, guar gum (proven to increase gas and abdominal discomfort) and uses wheat protein.

Here’s my recipe.

BREAD:

2 cups warm water
2 Tbs. Truvia. [easyazon_link identifier=”B0094HB8V0″ locale=”US” tag=”bp025-20″]Truvia Baking Blend Natural Sweetener 24 OZ(Pack Of 2)[/easyazon_link]
