Understanding Weight Gain: Calorie Surplus
The key to weight gain lies in consuming more calories than your body burns, creating a calorie surplus. Calories are units of energy obtained from food, essential for daily activities. To determine your daily maintenance calorie needs, use a calorie calculator online by entering your height, weight, age, and activity level. If your maintenance calorie is 2000, consuming 2500 calories daily will create a surplus, leading to healthy weight gain.
High-Calorie Smoothies: An Easy Solution
Many people struggle to eat more food. A simple solution is to drink high-calorie smoothies. A recommended recipe includes 250ml of milk, two bananas, two tablespoons of peanut butter, 90 grams of rolled oats, 8-9 almonds, and 3-4 dates for sweetness. Blend these ingredients for a smoothie that contains at least 1000 calories. Consume this smoothie twice a day to see noticeable changes in your weight gain journey within a week.
Incorporating Quality Carbohydrates
Consuming high-quality carbohydrates is crucial for healthy weight gain. Avoid unhealthy options like burgers and pizzas. Instead, include foods like bananas, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, rice, and peanut butter in your diet. These options provide the necessary carbohydrates to support weight gain in a healthy way.
Consistent Meal Schedules
Eat every two to three hours, focusing on whole, nutritious meals rather than processed snacks. This is because thinner individuals often have faster metabolisms, quickly processing food. Regular, frequent meals ensure a consistent supply of calories, making it easier to maintain a calorie surplus and gain weight.
The Importance of Good Fats
Don't be afraid of fats; incorporate good fats into your diet for healthy weight gain. Good fats are calorie-dense, helping you achieve a calorie surplus. They also offer additional benefits for hair, skin, and joint health. Include nuts, dry fruits, ghee, and peanut butter in your diet to increase your intake of healthy fats.
Avoid Skipping Meals
Avoid skipping meals, especially on weekends. Consistency is key. Maintain your calorie surplus even on weekends to ensure continuous progress in your weight gain journey. Sleeping in is fine, but make time to eat properly and stay consistent with your dietary goals.
