The 5000 calorie meal plan is without question catered to those who want to gain mass or to get stronger.
For gaining muscle mass, it obviously depends your current weight and body composition versus where you want to be.
This diet is especially for hardgainers.
An example would be if you’re at 200 lbs and want to bulk up to 220 lbs fast, this is a good meal plan for you. It’s also great for powerlifters and strength training athletes who need the extra calories to get strong.
You’ll find that the below meal plan is pretty close to the perfect muscle mass meal plan.
Goals on this meal plan are:
- Mass, mass, and more mass
- Strength and power increase
- Recovery
5000 Calorie Diet Meals
As you can see below, each of the bulking meals are packed with healthy sources of protein, carbohydrates and fats.
So you should gain both muscle and strength while on this meal plan. However, don’t be surprised is you do gain a little body fat with it as well.
*I said ‘a little fat’ – this sample meal plan is NOT a license to get fat and unhealthy!

Bulking Meals for Size and Strength
The 5000 calorie meal plan is for extreme mass gains and strength gains.
Although more calories can indeed make one gain fat, that’s not the case with this meal plan.
This 5000 calorie plan with mass gaining recipes consists of six large meals per day. Even though you’re going to be eating a ton of food you still want to spread the meals out to keep your metabolism in check.
This will help you not gain as much body fat while on your mass and strength cycle.
I must also suggest that if you’re goal is to gain muscle mass you’ll need to increase your calorie intake gradually if you’re currently on a low calorie diet.
Extreme diet changes can be counter-productive. If you’re powerlifting and going strictly for strength gains, chances are you’re already consuming a lot of food. You may just need some clean mass building recipes to dial it in for better results.
5000 Calorie Meal Plan for Quality Mass
The bottom line is to gain muscle mass and strength, you need to consume a lot of food.
And although you may not be that concerned about gaining body fat, keep in mind that your muscles need certain nutrients to recover and grow.
For example, if you eat a ton of junk food and don’t take in enough quality protein, you’ll be disappointed and may actually get weaker from not providing your muscles with the essential nutrients and protein they need to grow.
On the flip side, if you follow this 5000 calorie sample meal plan, feel free to throw in several cheat meals as well. I’ve found that if you’re eating decent most of the time, you can splurge of those cheat meals now and then without any extreme negative effects.
