Atlantic Tasmanian Salmon

Salmon can be one of the greatest additions to your lean bulk! 150 grams of cooked grilled salmon yields a total of 30 grams of protein and a whopping 19 grams of fat. When you’re in a bulk, don’t be scared of having these extra fats. Salmon is rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA. These fats play a significant role in reducing inflammation, improving joint health, and supporting overall cardiovascular health.

Feel free to cook salmon in different ways to make it much more palatable! Cook it up with some jasmine rice, or our next wonder-food - PASTA!

Macro Organic Pasta

Pasta can be a great way to gain weight for several reasons. Pasta is an extremely high calorie-dense food which isn’t very filling, especially when prepared with added sauces, cheeses, or oils. Consuming more calories than your body burns is essential for weight gain, and pasta provides an easy and tasty way to increase your calorie intake.

Pasta is typically easy to prepare and its versatility is unmatched! It can be incorporated into various dishes, making it a convenient choice for those looking to gain weight. It can be cooked in different ways and combined with a variety of ingredients, allowing for diverse and enjoyable meals.

Bega Peanut Butter

Adding fats into your diet can often be quite daunting as we aren't trying to build fat, we are trying to build muscle! Well, I am here to tell you that fats are not your enemy! The over consumption of calories can be however. It is imperative to understand that when trying to build mass, we shouldn’t stuff ourselves with chocolate and ice cream. Even though that would be awesome - we should still be smart and calculated about our approach to ensure our performance in the gym is still progressing and we aren’t feeling sluggish due to the food. Peanut butter is a great addition as for just 30 grams it can provide over 185 calories! This can easily be added into a morning smoothie, or as a spread for a midday snack.
