Depends: Too much of any nutrient source can eventually be converted to fat. Ensure and similar products are balanced nutrition and a good way to put on weight when used correctly. If you are too thin,your past pattern of eating has not kept up with your needs.You need to study nutrition and exercise to understand what your system needs to gain weight at a steady rate without over doing it.
