What can I do to gain weight fast? I am trying to gain at least 10 pounds in a month or two and I need any advice on what to eat to gain weight.
– Rosalinda V.
Your best bets for maximum healthy calories are nuts, avocado, cheese, oils, and pesto, followed by ground beef, tortillas, pudding, au gratin or scalloped potatoes, bisque soups and chowders. Choose dense produce such as winter squash, peas, carrots, corn and bananas, and rich cereals like granola and muesli. To maximize calories, add 1 Tbsp. powdered milk or juice concentrate to each Cup of fluid milk or juice, respectively. Fried foods and any bakery goods saturated with butter, cream or sauce certainly have more calories per bite than their plain counterparts. Whole-fat dairy foods contain nearly double the calories than the fat-free versions. And, of course, if you are able, simply increase the volume of what you already eat.
