If you want to gain some weight, these healthy weight gain tips and tools may be beneficial for you:
- First step is Calorie count to find out how many calories you will need to reach the weight you desire, suppose your daily need is 1500 calories and you eat 2000 calories, obviously you gain weight. So you need to eat calories rich foods like whole grains foods, pasta, potatoes, beans, rice etc
- Use a food diary to track your calorie intake to be sure you are getting all of the calories and foods that you need.
- Eat healthy breakfast with an extra slice of whole-grain toast and peanut butter.
- Mid-morning and afternoon food should be nutritious, not junk. Trail mixes contain healthy nuts, dried fruits and can add healthy calories to your diet.
- Don't eat unhealthy fried foods. Choose healthy foods such as baked potatoes, baked chicken and fish, just make your portions a bit bigger.
- Keep your meals balanced. One meal should have a healthy protein source such as fish, low fat meat, chicken or legumes plus two or three servings of vegetables. Green vegetables add lots of vitamins and phytonutrients while starchy potatoes and corn add extra calories.
- Drink healthy food such as milk and fruit juices to add calories. Don't choose sugary sodas, which only add calories and no nutrition.
