Answer 1

What To Eat To Gain Weight
Increasing your intake of junk foods and greasy foods is not a good way to gain weight. Junk foods usually contain unhealthy trans fats or saturated fats. Even though you need to increase your calorie consumption to gain weight, those calories should come from foods that are good for you.

Healthy fats include omega-3 essential fatty acids sources like tuna, salmon, flax, and walnuts. Good sources of protein include lean meats, fish, poultry, nuts, seeds and legumes. Healthy carbohydrate sources include fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

It may be easier to eat five or six smaller balanced meals per day rather than eating three large meals, especially if you are not used to eating much at one sitting.

Protein powders and nutritional supplement drinks such as Ensure can be added as in-between meal snacks if you still need more calories. Some protein powders are flavored and only need added water and some others can be blended with your choice of juice or milk to improve the taste.

It would also be a healthy idea to add a small amount of flax seed oil and some psyllium powder to add some omega-3 essential fatty acids and extra fiber.

Answer 3

My sister had the same problem. She was 5'6" and 95 pounds. She ate plenty, but people always thought she had an eating disorder.

Just eat more. And exercise can help gain weight because it adds muscle. Some people take protein powder shakes and such, but I dont know how much good they do.

Of course there are other ways to increase weight, but it's all fat and not going to keep her healthy.

Answer 4

high calorie diet will help but avoid high cholesterol.

Answer 5

Eat full fat dairy products, nuts, peanut butter, seeds, dried fruit, and avocados. Drink liquids like milk, fruit juices and vitamin shakes such as Ensure.

You can also add olive oil to pasta, rice, veggies, and any other dish. It adds healthy calories.

Answer 6

lean meat maybe, food with protien and omega-3 fatty acids. and some muscle building exercises.
