Hi,
Several things can be done to gain weight healthily:
* Increase calorie intake: You need to consume more calories than you burn in a day to gain weight. Start by calculating your daily calorie needs using a calorie calculator and then add 300-500 calories to that number to promote weight gain.
* Focus on nutrient-dense foods: Eat a balanced diet with plenty of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. Some examples include eggs, nuts, avocados, sweet potatoes, whole grains, and lean meats.
* Snack between meals: Eat nutrient-dense snacks throughout the day to increase calorie intake. Good options include fruit and nut butter, cheese and crackers, or yogurt with granola.
* Strength training: Resistance training can help you build muscle, which can contribute to weight gain. Focus on exercises that work large muscle groups, such as squats, deadlifts, and bench presses.
* Be patient: Healthily gaining weight takes time, so be patient and consistent with your diet and exercise routine. It is important to avoid crash diets or unhealthy weight gain practices, as these can have negative health consequences.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
