Arnold's Diet Chart

Eating and Resting

For those who have a hard time gaining weight, he advises that they should:

# Eat 5-6 smaller meals a day
# Eat carbs half an hour after exercising
# Rest at least 3 days a week
# Sleep 8 or more hours a day
# Eat 30 to 50 grams of protein with each meal every 3 hours
# Not avoid unsaturated fats because they raise hormone levels
# Eat between 60 and 100 grams of carbs per day
# Eat no more than 3 eggs a day
# Substitute beef and pork with chicken and fish
# Avoid sugar -- it contains empty calories; eat fruits and vegetables for carbs instead
# Use supplements and protein shakes to get the required daily amount of protein
