Want to gain weight?

By incorporating certain foods in our diet we can achieve the goal of increasing body weight. While doing so, we must make sure that apart from gaining weight we must also make healthy food choices.

We must include high energy foods and foods with “good fats” and other vital nutrients. You can include the following in your diet to gain “healthy body weight” :

1. Roots and tubers

Roots and tubers contain carbohydrate and complex sugars which help in increasing weight. They also contain various other vital nutrients.
Ex: potatoes, sweet potatoes, radish and carrots
Note: Do not eat more fried potatoes

2. Dried fruits

Eat a handful of dried fruits every day. By doing so, the weight increases rapidly. They contain fibre, vitamins, and minerals. They are naturally sweet and have high sugar and calories.
Ex: dried dates, dried figs, raisins and apricot

3. Non-veg foods

Non-veg foods are a very good source of high-quality protein. Daily consumption increases weight. Good fats are abundantly found in them.
Ex: eggs, fish, meat and poultry

4. High-calorie fruits

Fruits high in calories are the best source for weight gain.
Ex: custard apple and banana 

5. Nuts and oilseeds

Nuts and oilseeds are effective in gaining weight. They are a great source of energy, protein, dietary fibre, vitamins, minerals and most importantly healthy fats!
Example: almonds, cashews, walnuts and flax seeds.
