What kind of food helps you gain weight?

Answer 1

i spent most my life skinny, being a 6ft male avg 10 stone...140lbs. I then stopped smoking and hit the gym... I was hungry more often. I am now 13 stone and well built. Generally if your naturally thin you need to exercise and eat at the same time otherwise like me you will just eat a load and nothing will happen.

Try and do an hour a day of exercise( some aerobic some weights). Don't eat junk just stick to meat and veg!

No special diet is needed just three square meals a day DONT MISS BREAKFAST.

and don't sit on your ass all the time.........walking ain't no good nor is geeking out on a game.

Answer 2

The recommended way to do this is to eat healthy foods in amounts that are more than your body needs. Eating unhealthy foods would also add to your weight but might harm you in the long run.
If you want muscle-mass more than fat-gain, you'll also need to get plenty of exercise.
Healthy foods to gain weight:

• red meat; fish (especially oily fish such as sardines)
  
• seeds and nuts; peanut butter, almond butter, tahini
  
• dairy and eggs
  
• sweet fruits such as mango, banana and papaya
  
• avocado
  
• granola; dried fruit; protein bars
  
• whole wheat bread; whole grain breads, crackers and foods; legumes
  
• olive oil on salads or wherever appropriate
  
• carbohydrate-veggies such as potatoes and yams
  

Don't overdo it. Gaining weight faster than about 1 pound per week should be done under supervision.

Answer 3

Foods that are starchy, sugary, or fattening, or are very processed

Ex.) White bread

corn starch

corn syrup (foods that have a lot of it in them)

lard

processed meats/cheeses

American fast food

candy/chocolate bars etc.

Answer 4

I have struggled with this problem myself, and I'll tell you, food alone is not going to help that much. However, since you are asking about food, i suggest that you eat 500 more calories than what you normally do. Now eating 500 more calories doesn't mean you have to eat more sugar, and fat. There are plenty of foods like peanut butter and crackers that have calories but not so much sugar and fat. So do that. And also if you can incorporate working out into your life, you will gain more weight, because muscle weighs more than fat. GOOD LUCK!

1) Note that red meat, dairy, and eggs should be eaten in moderation. If your body's cholesterol is low, you can increase the amount somewhat.
2) Try to eat several (4 to 6) times a day. Have snacks and drink water between meals, not during meals.
3) Try to avoid junk foods except as a treat here and there.
4) Don't overdo it. Gaining weight faster than about 1 pound per week should be done under supervision.See also the Related Links.
