If someone is trying to gain weight, is there anything wrong/unhealthy with drinking ensure plus everyday as a way to add additional calories?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No real harm: Just consuming the calories, however, is not going to guarantee that the body will add them as lean mass (muscle) . You should combine a weight lifting or resistance type exercise to your week to encourage the body to use the calories to build muscle.
