can you gain weight eating ham?is it healthy?

Answer 1

Lean ham can be healthy for you. You just have to learn portion control. No more than a two ounce serving. It contains protein, which you need. Look for smoked ham or turkey ham that's 98-99% fat free. Avoid canned hams.

P.S.- You can gain weight from just about anything you eat if you don't burn off the calories.

Answer 2

Ham, which is pork, is considered to be a good source of meat, but a lot of anything is bad. There's a high fat content and of course you can gain weight on it. It needs to be cooked properly and stored in the right conditions to be healthy. So if you think you're dieting by eating ham, you better think again.

Answer 3

I would go for a lean piece without any evidence of white fat on it. You need to be careful of cheap ham because of the salt content check the packaging.
I believe in everything in moderation you dont need to cut it out completely but be aware of how much you are eating.
It is a source of protein.
I eat a palm sized portion of protein. The size of the flat of your hand at each meal.

Answer 4

Eating a lot of ham will make you geta heart attack early, and you will have clogged arteries and loads of cholesterol.
It's really not healthy at all.
Eat breads, and calorie filled foods to quickly gain weight!
Mac and cheese, spagghetti, cake, etc will help!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!
