Why?: Ensure can potentially help with weight gain, as it's packed with many proteins/nutrients, and, in some cases, carbs. However, why is it that you want to gain weight? Are you underweight? Going above average BMI can put you at risk for many diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension. You should discuss this with your doctor to be sure you're doing the right thing. Best wishes.

It could: If you drink enough of it-= more calories than you need- you will gain weight. The weight you gain may be more fat than muscle if you don't exercise and do resistance/weight training. Exercise and activity should be a part of any weight gaining regimen- so that you gain muscle
