with stern looks and (oftentimes) rebuke from overweight people who give the “you don’t know what you have” lecture. One thing needs to be understood, weight gain isn’t a crime and everyone has the right to desire a particular body size.

For some individuals, trying to gain weight is just as tough as losing weight is for some others. Gladly, there are a gazillion things to eat to gain weight fast but healthily. I am sure that’s good news for those looking to tow that path. It’s important to mention at this point that the rate at which you add more pounds depends largely in part on your body and genes. For example, while one may just need to eat the following foods and begin to see results in no time, another may not have it that easy. That being said, don’t take it too hard on yourself if your results aren’t immediate. Allow your body work its magic in due time.

Other than genes, medical conditions can also be responsible for delays in weight gain. For instance, health issues like hyperthyroidism that affect the body’s metabolism will pose a serious challenge to your #bodygoals. In situations like this, it’s imperative to speak with your doctor to enable you to make the right choices.

Psst: also remember to consistently consume foods with more calories than your body needs. This is the general rule many nutritionists and experts swear by. Simply put, the calories you eat as opposed to what you burn, the more weight you gain. Now that we have that covered, here’re the foods you can eat to help you put on some pounds fast and healthily.

Here are the foods you can eat to help you gain weight fast but healthily…

#1. Protein supplements

Ever wondered what that lanky guy was eating that got him so muscular? Protein supplements and shakes are most likely the answer! These power packers, like the ones made by LyfeFuel, are quite effective as they help in rapid (but safe) weight gain. When paired with a good workout plan, protein shakes really do perform magic!

#2. Full cream milk

The calories in full cream milk are a sure weight gain recipe. Pour your full cream milk generously into your bowl of cereal, cocoa drink, oats, and every compatible meal you can. It’s officially milk season for you. Hopefully, you’re not lactose intolerant.

#3. Red meat

While red meat is a major red flag for individuals seeking to lose weight, red meat should be the preferred animal protein for those seeking to gain weight as the leucine and creatine present in red meat boosts muscle mass.

#4. Cheese

Did anyone say mac and cheese? Yes, please. If you’re in need of what to eat to gain weight fast but safely, then opt for full-fat cheese as they are high in protein, calcium, and calories. You could have a pizza party tonight. Say cheese!

#5. Avocados

Instead of piling up belly fat with unhealthy junk, avocados contain healthy fat and can be eaten alone, in smoothies, and even as a spread.

Bonus tips:

• Eat larger portions of meals. They help you consume more calories per day.
• A healthy diet merged with a good workout routine is one sure way to build muscle and gain weight fast but safely. So, get active and watch the pounds add up in all the right places.
