Gain Weight By Eating Right

Posted by Sandy Taylor

When it comes to gaining weight, you must always remember -> Gain Weight By Eating Right!

Before I start, there is something that I think everyone should know:

It cost 3500 calories to gain one pound, which means if you want to gain some weight, you must eat 500 extra calories per day! How to do it? Keep reading....

Eat frequently! -- Make time for 3 large meals and 2 to 3 hefty snacks every day.
Eat larger than normal portions at meals!
Eat higher calorie foods! -- Choose dried fruit, starchy vegetables, dense whole grain breads and cereals, hearty bean soups, nuts...
Add lots of “extras” to food! -- Don’t eat anything plain.
Add healthy unsaturated fats: olive and canola oil, nuts, seeds, peanut butter, avocados.
Add healthy carbs and protein: honey, jam, dried fruit, wheat germ, nonfat dried milk powder, soy protein powder.
Make beverages count! -- Drink shakes, milk, juice, etc. instead of water, coffee, tea, and diet sodas.
Do resistance exercises! -- Weight training helps convert the extra calories into muscle rather than flab. Aim for 2-3 times per week.
