A member asked:
How many calories should someone who is trying to gain weight eat per day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends : It depends on how much you weigh and how many pounds you want to gain.But as a general rule if you eat more than your bmr, that is the number of calories you burn daily, which depends on your weight, height, amount of activity daily.So it is easy anything in excess of that will make you gain weight if you have a normal metabolism.
