I hear quinoa is a great source of protein. Getting used to the taste and cooking methods are challenges I got to overcome.
Im lucky I got your question, future dietitian here! Look at your ingredients first, the best three things are complex carbs (a 1/5 fiber/ carb ratio) protien, and fat. Build your meal from there. Eggs (protein) cheese (fat) Ezekiel bread (high fiber carb) Steel oats (c) table spoon of peanutbutter (p/f) bonus to add protein powder or fruits Bagel(c) cream cheese(f) salmon(p) When you start seeing foods for their nutritional values building a balanced meal gets easier. C/p/f are always the best way to start your day so you are full of energy with less midday crash. Good luck on your journey, I hope this was helpful.
Hi, my best friend also wants to gain weight and so I know a little hit about this. She likes to eat full fat yogurt, with granola and nuts. She also eats really good grainy bread with butter and sliced avocado. I think the fats in these foods are both healthy and full of goodness…and a little fatty too. 😉 Good luck.
Fats + Carbs = weight gain I love avocados and whole grain tortillas. Remember protein too! I enjoy any form of protein inside one of the tortillas as well.
As I’m trying to lose weight myself, I don’t know how helpful it might be, but I think you should eat a breakfast full of protein and carbs.
A breakfast with oatmeal, whole milk (or almond/ soy/ coconut milk if you’re vegan), nuts, and dried fruits seems good for some weight gain. Hope this helps 🙂
Focus on gaining muscle and eating healthy fats. 30 grams of protein every few hours and cooking with coconut oil will help put on meaningful but healthy weight
If you have protein powder, try making a smoothie with it but if you don’t, you can add yogurt and milk to your smoothie!
I’m not an expert. But if you’re trying to build muscle protein is the way to go. Eggs, oatmeal, nuts, lean meats. If your just trying to gain weight, eating more calories than you do on a daily can help. Non fattening foods can be any fruit or vegetable or wheat.
Good breakfasts for weight gain include carb + protein heavy meals, such as oatmeal and a hardboiled egg, or pancakes and bacon!
