Best Healthy Foods to Gain Weight

Homemade Protein Smoothies:-

  • Drinking homemade Protein smoothies can be a highly nutritious and quick way to gain weight.
  • It's best to make your own smoothies, since commercial versions are often full of sugar and lack nutrients. Making your own will also allow you to vary the flavor and nutrient content.
  • Here are just a few tasty variations you can try. You can combine each with 2 cups (470 ml) of milk or an alternative like almond milk.
  • Chocolate banana nut shake: Combine 1 banana, 1 scoop chocolate whey protein and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) peanut or other nut butter.
  • Vanilla berry shake: Combine 1 cup (237 ml) of fresh or frozen mixed berries, ice, 1 cup (237 ml) high-protein natural yogurt and 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein.
  • Chocolate hazelnut shake: Combine 15 ounces (444 ml) of chocolate milk with 1 scoop of chocolate whey protein, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of hazelnut butter and 1 avocado.
  • Caramel apple shake: Combine 1 sliced apple, 1 cup (237 ml) natural yogurt, 1 scoop of caramel or vanilla-flavored whey protein and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of sugar-free caramel sauce or flavoring.
  • Vanilla blueberry shake: Combine 1 cup (237 ml) fresh or frozen blueberries, 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein, 1 cup (237 ml) vanilla yogurt and sweetener if needed.
  • Super green shake: Combine 1 cup (237 ml) of spinach, 1 avocado, 1 banana, 1 cup (237 ml) of pineapple and 1 scoop of unflavored or vanilla whey protein.
All of these smoothies provide around 400–600 calories, along with a high amount of protein and other important vitamins and minerals.

Milk:-
  • Milk has been used as a weight gainer or muscle builder for decades .
  • It provides a good balance of proteins, carbs and fats. It's also a good source of calcium, as well as other vitamins and minerals.

  • For those trying to add more muscle, milk is an excellent protein source that provides both casein and whey proteins. Research has even shown it can help you add muscle when combined with weight lifting.
  • Additionally, studies have shown that milk, or whey and casein combined, can lead to greater mass gain than other protein sources.
  • Try drinking around one or two glasses as a snack, with a meal, or before and after a workout if you are training.

Nuts and Nut Butters:-

  • Nuts and nut butters are a perfect choice if you're looking to gain weight.
  • Just one small handful of almonds contains over 7 grams of protein and 18 grams of healthy fats.

  • Since they are very calorie-dense, just two handfuls per day with a meal or as a snack can quickly add hundreds of calories.
  • Nut butters can also be added to a variety of snacks or dishes, such as smoothies, yogurts and much more.
  • However, make sure you pick 100% nut butters that have only two or three ingredients and no added sugar or extra oils.

Salmon and Oily Fish:-

  • Like red meat, salmon and oily fish are excellent sources of protein and important healthy fats.

  • Out of all the nutrients that salmon and oily fish provide, omega-3 fatty acids are among the most significant and well known.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids are very important, providing numerous benefits for your health and also fighting disease.
  • Just one 6-ounce (170-gram) fillet of salmon provides around 350 calories and 4 grams of omega-3 fats. It also provides 34 grams of high-quality protein, helping you build muscle or gain weight .
