Looking for weight gain? Do it right ...
1.Eat more calories than your body needs.
2.If you are looking for gaining weight slowly and steadily, then aim for 300-500 calories more than you burn.
3.Eat proteinaceous diet. Protein forms the building blocks of your muscles. Eating sufficient protein is required to gain muscle weight instead of just fat.
4.It is best to eat plenty of protein, fat and carbs for 3 meals in a balanced form , than junk foods to put on weight.
5.Aim for 0.7-1 grams of protein per pound of body weight as ideal and not more. Protein has a double sided action, it can also decrease appetite as well. Thus, get a proper guidance on how much to eat and what to eat .
6.Go to a gym and lift, 2-4 times per week. Lift heavy and try to increase the weights and volume over time.
7.Don't drink water before meals. This can fill your stomach and make it harder to get in enough calories.
8.Eat more often. Squeeze in an additional meal or snack whenever you can.

10.Drink milk. Drinking whole milk to quench thirst is a simple way to get in more high-quality protein and calories.
