Healthy afternoon
Larger portion sizes and more frequently meals are quick ways to add extra calories into day . Nutrient dense , high calorie foods to fill out your meals. Don’t forget to incorporate healthy exercise and other lifestyle changes into your routine.
1. Gain weight gradually by adding healthy calories- try adding 300-500 calories per day.
2. Eat smaller meals more often, adding healthy snacks in between meals
3. Add extra calories to your meals with cheese , nuts, and seeds
4. Have high calorie drinks between meals such as milkshakes.
