The rule of thumb is that your daily <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/calorie-deficit-meal-plan\/\">meal plan <\/a>should consist of 15-20% protein, 20-25% fats, and 60-65% carbohydrates (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livestrong.com\/article\/285564-5000-calorie-mass-diet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carbohydrates\"><\/span><b>Carbohydrates<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three types of carbs: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sugar, fiber, and starch.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating too much added sugar can lead to obesity, thereby lowering the health status of a nation (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6959843\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

Another benefit of a high-fiber diet is that it can lower your LDL cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

Starchy foods are also effective for curbing your appetite, which helps you to stay feeling full between meals. Foods such as legumes, fruits and vegetables, and whole grains are valuable starchy foods that you should consider eating every day. However, not all sources of starches are equally healthy and therefore, the consumption of processed foods and products made from white flour should be limited.

In order for an athlete to gain muscle mass, it\u2019s important to eat more calories than they burn. However, non-athletes do not burn as many calories to justify a 5,000-calorie diet.

It is designed for bodybuilders and athletes who need to build muscle mass. It can be overwhelming for the body, which is why thorough meal planning and medical supervision are essential. To create a meal plan for a 5,000-calorie diet, you need to follow this macros distribution: 15-20% protein, 20-25% fats, and 60-65% carbohydrates. You should always opt for fresh and whole food when it is available. Planning your meals according to this rule plays an important role in ensuring the healthiness and safety of the diet. Plan a meeting with a dietitian if you require more guidance regarding healthy diets related to muscle gain. If you are not a bodybuilder, you should either avoid the diet or do it under strict medical supervision.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why do you need a 5,000-calorie diet?
