All foods contain nutrients, but some are more nutritious than others. "Empty calorie" foods (junk food!) contain calories but do little to help your body stay healthy. Nutrient- dense foods provide a lot of nutrition in a small volume and for a reasonable number of calories. The key to healthy eating is to eat nutrient-dense foods that ounce for ounce contain both the nutrients and calories you need.
An example of a breakfast while on the weight gain diet includes granola, chopped nuts, a banana, milk and juice. A lunch would involve 1/2 an avocado, a can of tuna in oil, two sliced tomatoes, a handful of olives, mixed salad leaves, 2 teaspoons of olive oil and a tbsp of sesame seeds, and whole grain crackers. You are also allowed snacks spaced mid-way between meals, and must eat a sensible dinner. The key to formulating any meal for weight gain is to concentrate on a sensible blend of complex carbohydrates, lean protein, and healthy fats. When attempting to gain weight, it is often beneficial to eat multiple small meals per day, rather than a few large meals. Especially when coupled with exercise, eating multiple small meals encourages your body to use the calories to build lean tissue (muscle).
