How can l gain weight?

"Eat what I eat!": That's the answer one doctor gives to this tough question. But it can be as hard to gain for some people as it is for others to take off weight. To gain one pound in a week, eat 500 calories each day over what you normally eat, and keep your activity level about the same. But eat nutritious food, not "junk." think healthy smoothies, yogurt. Adding a bowl of oatmeal each day is a start.

Eat healthy foods: high in calories. Eat 6 meals /day. Work on strength training to build large muscle groups. Work out w heavier weights w fewer repetitions. Sleep at least 8 to 9 hrs/night. Hydrate well w water. Foods to help w weight gain: almonds, cashews, pecans, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, walnuts, hummus, avocados, granola, trail mix, dried fruits, protein shakes & bars, lean meats, poultry, fish, smoothies
