The healthiest foods to eat to gain weight?
not a lot of fat grams or sodium
Answers:
Nuts. They are high in calories and protein. Have good fats. Get the unsalted kind and you lower the sodium.
brown rice
lean fish and turkey
The following foods give a lot of calories but are still healthy--peanut butter, avocadoes, nuts, liver, wheat tortillas with Omega 3 enriched butter, and bananas.
vegetables, mango, citrus.
Pasta and potatoes.
Well rounded meals
For Instance, 4 oz Salmon, 1 cup Broccoli and 1/2 cup Brown rice, with lemon on everything. Homemade berry cobbler for desert.
Consistency is key.
Eat lots of protein. There aren't really 'gain weight healthy foods'; just eat MORE food. Lean meats, dairy and remember to include fruits and vegetables and plenty of grains. Just more.
Proteins are required for building muscles, so having high protein foods like eggs, milk, peanut butter, protein shakes will help you in gaining weight. You can find more information at http://www.toloseweight.org/gainweight.h...

Flowering plants came to rule the earth, and so then did mammals who require calories to exist. Flowering plants, nuts and seeds are concentrated energy, which equals calories.
Whole grain wheat products, including rices and pastas, as well as nuts and seeds are all concentrated energy foods that are relatively high in calories and low in bad fats, unless of course you top your whole wheat pasta with Alfredo sauce!
Eat fresh fruits, but try to do so separately from the grains and nuts. Fruit eaten by itself tends to digest more quickly and beneficially. It is still sugar and calories, but it is natural sugar and is more easily used by the body for energy.
I have been a skinny guy all my life and always thought I wanted to gain weight. Now that I'm older I'm putting it on only on my stomach, and am no longer interested in gaining any weight, so watch what you wish for!
By all means put on some pounds if you want to, but do it wisely. Remember that high fat foods clog arteries and affect your heart health. Best to put on muscle pounds rather than fat pounds by exercising while you increase your calorie intake. You'll feel and look a lot better.
So, grab a handful of almonds... go take a walk and come home to a bowl of brown rice and vegetables...maybe a chicken breast too. Good luck!
A lot of fruit and vegetables. Don't pay attention to the food pyramid and eat all that you want. If you want ten servings of fruit and vegetables today, eat ten servings each.
