Eat nutritious foods that are high in calories. Examples are whole-grain breads, vegetables such as avocados and potatoes, kidney beans, lean red meat, poultry and fish.
Increase the caloric value of your meals. Add powdered milk to casseroles for added calories, add avocados and olives to sandwiches, add wheat germ to your cereal, add chopped meat to your pasta sauce, and so on.
Avoid skipping meals. Knowing how to gain weight involves consistent eating. Eat three meals a day and at least two snacks.
Increase your normal portion size. Take a second scoop of pasta, or add two bananas to your oatmeal.
Choose higher-calorie foods when given a choice. For example, corn is higher in calories than green beans.
Relax – excessive fidgeting and restlessness can burn up a lot of calories.
Add weight lifting to your exercise program. It helps build muscle mass.
Balance your caloric intake with the number of calories you’re burning. You need to be taking in more than you use up, and you may need to ease up a little on your exercise program.
Good Luck!
Dont skip meals – eat good, healthy food rather that junk, but make sure that you are eating enough fat,carbs and protien to gain a little bit of weight and then when you stop gaining you will know how much your body needs to be at particular weight.
Some days you will eat less, be busy etc, but make sure it doesnt become a lifestyle otherwise you will stay underweight.
