Lesson Overview

3.2 – Calorie Surplus Calculation (+250–500 kcal plan): Building healthy weight requires giving your body a little more energy than it burns each day, so it has extra fuel to create muscle and strength. A consistent surplus of 250 to 500 calories is enough to support growth without causing quick fat gain that feels uncomfortable. Understanding how many calories you need helps you avoid guessing and makes your plan easy to follow. You can increase your intake by adding nutrient-dense foods like yogurt, nuts, lean proteins, and whole grains. Eating slightly more at each meal feels calmer than forcing large portions all at once. Tracking calories gives you proof that you are on the right path and helps you stay steady with progress. As your weight increases, your body becomes more confident in its ability to grow. A smart surplus teaches patience because healthy gains happen gradually. This approach makes you feel energized, capable, and proud of every step. With consistency, each calorie becomes a building block of the stronger body you are creating.
