A good place to start gaining healthy weight would be a calorie calculator. Using a calorie calculator, you will be able to accurately determine how much you should be eating on a regular basis to gain weight and still stay healthy to give blood. Foods that are nutrient dense such as carrots, tomatoes, spinach, apples, oatmeal, salmon and whole grain pastas are an excellent way to gain weight. However, gaining weight to donate blood is not recommended by physicians. Most physicians will recommend that you eat healthy and ensure that you have a stable weight before trying to donate blood.
