How To Gain Weight Fast?

#1.  Add Calories To Your Diet

Just like you lower down on the calorie count when losing weight, let them flood in when you want to gain weight. Consume more than 250 calories every day to gain about half or one kilo. Eat foods like pulses, cereals, meat, bread, rice, dry fruits, and nuts because they are rich in calories.

#2.  Raise The Number Of Meals Per Day

Spend more time on eating. Switch to six meals instead of three; three big meals and three small. Prefer taking heavy meals, especially your breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Because your metabolism is inactive when you are sleeping, heavy dinner will help in rapid weight gain.

#3.  Choose Your Fats Wisely

While gaining weight, it is important that you gain the good fats instead of the bad ones. Good fats help in the production of testosterones and also accelerate muscle growth. Good fats elevate metabolism. Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are two of the most common forms of good fats, and are present in flaxseed, avocados, nuts, leafy vegetables and salmon. Good fats are also rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
