whats a good food to eat when trying to gain weight?

Answer 1

Starchy, carb foods are good, such as bananas, and bread. Or toss some yogurt, fruit and bananas together to make a smoothie.

Also, eat some peanut butter. A small amount gives a lot of calories, not to mention loads of healthy peanut nutrients.

Answer 2

When I had to gain weight, the doctor told me to eat 2000 calories a day. I drank a drink called "Boost" which was pretty nutritious, and high on calories.

Although, I'm not sure it would be a great idea to gain weight through a weight gaining drink, since you have to maintain it.

Try eating every 2-3 hours. Of course, if you eat a bunch of junk food, you'll gain weight. Not quite healthy though. You don't want to gain much fat, but try working out to gain muscle.

Answer 3

Gaining muscle is not about just eating protein. You should ideally be having 6 meals a day, with a cetain amount of carbs/fat/protein. Also you need to include resistance training, ideally focusing on compound exercises, i.e. bench press, squats, deadlifts etc.
