To increase your body weight, especially in a healthy way, you’ll want to focus on building muscle and gaining healthy fat. Here’s a plan that might help:
1. Increase Caloric Intake
• Eat More Frequently: Aim for 5-6 meals a day. Include snacks between meals.
2. Focus on Protein
• Sources: Lentils, chickpeas, beans, tofu, tempeh, and quinoa.
3. Strength Training
• Lift Heavy.
• Progressive Overload.
4. Post-Workout Nutrition
• After workouts, consume a meal with a good balance of protein and carbohydrates. This helps in muscle repair and growth.
5. Stay Consistent
• Weight gain, especially lean muscle mass, takes time. Stay consistent with your diet and workout routine.
