How to Gain Weight Quickly ?

Eat Well

No one can gain weight by eating a little. Therefore, you have to eat more. However, eating more does not mean you stock up on fatty and oily food that will only make you feel sluggish and will at best give you a paunch. The trick lies in eating healthy, high calorie foods that are powered with carbohydrates, protein and healthy fat.

   Food items rich in carbohydrates: Rice, pasta, breads, potatoes, beans, yams, fruits, vegetables, oatmeal.Foods items rich in proteins: Chicken, steaks, lean beef, eggs, salmon, milk and cottage cheese.Food items rich in healthy fat: Olive oil, avocados, nuts, peanut butter and flax oil.

Eat on Time

If you need to gain weight fast, your eating schedule has to be overhauled..Eat every 2 to 3 hours.

Stay hydrated

Drink plenty of water, milk, fresh juices and energy drinks to ensure you are properly hydrated. As a healthy advice drink at least 8-10 glasses of water each day. But, remember not to drink water before meal and in between the meal as it may decrease your calorie intake.

Say no to junk food

They are very tempting and finger licking good, but eating junk is not the answer to your weight gain query as they contain large amount of calories, bad fats and off course very little nutrition. So, a burger or a pizza or finger chips are a strict no as eating too much fast foods help weight gain through fat, not through healthy lean muscle. Also, as a healthy advice avoid consuming processed food.

Get Proper Sleep 

Snooze time is essential when it comes to gaining weight. "The majority of muscle repair and growth of the muscle itself is done while we sleep. This is why proper rest days and sleep is crucial for the development of muscle mass," Gee says. Trained muscles should be given 48 to 72 hours for full recovery and you should be aiming for eight hours of sleep per night.
