Healthy Weight Gain

Q. I need to gain weight (at least 5 kgs) in a month's time. Please advise me how to go about it.

A. In order to gain weight, you simply need to take in more calories than you burn. The Daily Needs Calculator will give you an estimate of how many calories you require every day. For every 3,500 excess Calories (kcal) you consume, you will gain more or less one pound (about half a kg). 

Because fat contains more than twice as many calories per gram as protein and carbohydrate, adding high-fat foods to your diet would be an efficient way to add calories.  But I assume that you are interested in healthy weight gain. In that case, you don't want just any calories; you want to add high-quality calories to your diet.

Fortunately, Nutrition Data has several tools that will help you do just that!  On every food and recipe analysis page, you'll see Nutrition Data's Nutritional Target Map. Foods that appear in the lower right quadrant of the map are ideal for healthy weight gain, because they have a high nutrient density (more nutrients per calorie) and a high energy density (more calories per gram).

Right below the Nutritional Target Map, you'll see the Better Choices tool.  Use the pull down menu to select "better choices for weight gain" and click "show me!" for a list of similar foods with a higher nutrient and calorie densities. Or, go to the Food Category Explorer, select any category, and use the pull down menu to select "Better Choices for Weight Gain."

Remember as well that muscle tissue weighs more than body fat. A weight training program, supported by a nutritious high-calorie diet, can help you gain weight as lean muscle mass instead of body fat. If exercise, particularly strength training, is part of your weight gain program, be sure to eat plenty of protein, which speeds recovery and enhances lean muscle gain.

The Nutrition Data community includes a lot of elite athletes and body-builders who track their nutrition very closely as part of their training regimens. Any Nutrition Datanauts with experience on healthy weight gain? I'd be interested in your input.

Find foods that you like that have lots of calories. I am a 30 yr old female. At 5'6" i was down to 94 lbs last year. I am now up to about 105. I eat lots of icecream, chocolate, guacamole. Another really high calorie food is Almond Butter. Grind up the almonds in a food processor, add a little brown sugar & cinnamon. It's so good, I will just eat it plain or with icecream. Also, I think eating right before going bed helps. Now I think eventually I will have to watch it or I will outgrow my clothes! lol Hope this helps somebody :)

Hello. I was just wondering if there is a formula to calculate the amount of protein needed to gain a certain quantity of weight ? In other words: how can i find out the necessary protein quantity needed to gain 6kg ? I checked the BMI calculator on this site and it said that i needed ~55g of protein per day.
What i didn't understand was: 55g of protein per day will help me maintain my weight or will help me gain it ?
P.S. I don't care about how much time will it take me to gain those 6kg; i DON'T want to drink protein shakes and stuff like that; i prefer healthy food (no meat...only vegetables,fruit,legumes,nuts and seeds,fish and poultry products,cereals,dairy and egg products) and i think i'm a rather athletic person (i'm an advanced level swimmer...i run every evening...i play frisbee, football etc.)
Thanks in advance !!!

I know Alan stated that one should drink milk to gain weight, but in the words of the great Arnold Swarza...I can't spell it. Anyways, he said "Milk is for babies." And it truly is. A cow produces it to give to its calf, much the same way a mother breast feeds a child. MILK IS NOT FOR ADULTS! You all want to gain weight? Eat. Eat. Eat. But you gotta eat good foods. You will need at least 8 meals a day. Your first as soon as you step out of bed. And no a candy bar doesn't count. Get some whey protein mix and casein protein mix. You'll need both. Those are going to be your staples. Two scoops of whey (about 40g) and one of casein (about 20g). About 2 hours later, a real breakfast. 8 egg whites, 2 slices whole grain bread, a whole fruit. 2 hours after that lunch. And so on. Oh yeah, in between meals...guess...more casein. Stick to it. Take in about 4,000 to 6,000 calories a day and you'll gain weight. The eating will be hard at first, but after about two weeks you'll be hungry every two hours. And one last thing, EXERCISE! Talk to some of the gym rats, get a trainer, pick up a copy of Muscle and Fitness, mimick exercises others are doing in the gym, just do something. Pretty soon you'll be lean and mean, I promise. Remember, a good life always starts with a healthy body. If your body is clean, your mind is clean. If your mind is clean, your soul is clean. body+mind+soul=living

To Purisimo Tiam:

Re your child: get him active: involve him in some kind of sports or take him walking and running. That will stimulate his appetite. Also, if he doesn't eat, give him a glass of milk with protein supplement (sold in stores, try whey protein).

#### Weight gaining Tip ####

Daily do some exercise for 20min.
Eat bananas and drink atleast 2 glasses of milk. Consistency pays off. Never skip any meal. It is working for me. My weight(healthy) is on increase. Daily take weight(lbs)X 0.7 gms of protein.

Good luck for U.

Although, I am not a dietitian, nor a trained athletic trainer, health is one of my favorite hobbies.

If you want to gain healthy weight, there are only 2 options, if you ask me :

1) Eat more GOOD food. Start a regimen of eating 3 meals a day with a healthy, protein packed (and some fats) snack between each meal. Drink your daily allotment of milk, and drink plenty of water. Look into protein shakes (based on milk, not soy).

2) Start weight training AND incorporate the 3 meal + inbetween snacks regimen. Muscle does weigh more than fat, and if you want to put weight on in a PROPORTIONAL manner, exercise is crucial. Exercise will balance your weight gain, allowing your body to put it in proper places rather than just a puffy face, arms, legs, and stomach. Note: running will not help you gain weight, and weight training (for you girls) will NOT make you bulky which you all seem to worry about.

In 2008, between June and October, I added 20 pounds of pure muscle with this type of a program (160 to 180lbs). I'm shooting for the Brad Pitt type of physique, and I'm damn close.

5'10" ; 180+lbs ; 8-10% body fat ; 3-days a week weight training (1:15 hours); 1-day running (sprint 1 mile, or intervals for 3)

Posted by: daniel | Jan 4, 2009 4:17:43 AM

dear samantha,
since you are only 18 years old and a female, i am gonna guess that supplements would not be your favorite thing. so i am gonna go another direction. i take it you like peanutbutter jelly sandwiches, popcorn, ice cream, or milkshakes. pbjs and popcorn will help put muscle on you and ice cream and milkshakes will put fat on you. remember to excercise. eating after 8:00 p.m. is essential to a weight gaining diet. you keep more carbs in your body. hope i helped

Posted by: daniel | Jan 4, 2009 4:12:50 AM

dear debbie,
a good supplement that can help you is 100% whey protein. the best way to take it is 2 scoops with 8 oz of milk. once in the morning and twice at night. it will put weight on you. but i advise you to excercise, that way it dont turn into fat.

Posted by: daniel | Jan 4, 2009 4:09:38 AM

dear ahmed,
to gain weight, get alot of carbs in your diet. eat alot after 8:00 p.m. that is the part of the day you will be less active and you will burn off less carbs and keep more. eat snacks every 2 hours. peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are great. hope i was a help.

For those asking for help:

I am also working on increasing my son's weight. He is only 3yrs old, and very very lean. From my research (I'm not a health professional, just a mom). I would suggest eliminating medical causes for being underweight first. You may want to look into a good quality enzyme supplement. Taken between meals, enzymes, especially protease, can help weaken any bacteria, viruses, or yeast imbalances in the digestive tract. (Source:Enzymes for Autism, Karen DeFelice) Taken with meals, a good digestive enzyme helps your body break down your food. You may also want to look into taking a good pro-biotic to repopulate the digestive tract with beneficial bacteria. These two measures should help your digestion get the most out of your nutrition. Also, assuming you want to add muscle mass, you may want to look into some strength training.

I'm not an expert, just been looking into this for my child, and wanted to share with others working on the same issue. Good luck!

Posted by: Alan | Sep 1, 2008 5:35:45 AM

THE ANSWER:

RAW MILK

Find a local dairy (try www.localharvest.org) and purchase the milk directly from them. Best is a small farm, Jersey cows are preferred, must be grass-fed/pastured -- no grain feed.

Never drink pasteurized, homogenized, commercially produced milk from confinement (kept in pens all day - no pasture) dairies again!

For a period of time I dealt with alot of stress and stopped eating as much as i should have been. Now I find it very difficult to eat all three meals during the day and any snacks, I've tried gaining weight for a couple of months but nothing has helped. When I do try to eat the set meals but I constantly feel sick when i try. After a while i gave up trying to eat the set meals a day and tried to 'graze' through out the day but this also did not work. Is there any chance you can help?

I need to gain weight. I eat 3 solid meals a day most of the time, but I have weighed 45kg (about 100lb) for a few years now. It takes me a week of alcohol and unhealthy eating (like on a holiday) to gain 2kgs and only 2 days to lose them again...how can I gain weight and keep it on?
