When I needed to gain weight, I found it really hard to find recipes that didn’t include low fat foods or require huge amounts to be eaten! Here are my top ten foods for weight gain!
1. Paella …
Paella is a gorgeous Spanish recipe, containing around 500 calories per serving.
2. Omelette …
A typical mushroom omelette contains 560 calories. Omelette recipes differ, but they are easy and fast to prepare, and you can add whatever you want!
3. Macaroni Cheese …
Make sure that you use high fat cheese and pasta, and your serving will top 450 calories! Check out these recipes!
4. Candied Ginger and Rosemary squares …
These are delicious, buttery squares, which contain 1822 calories per serving.
5. Quick Summer Bean Salad …
Summer Bean Salad is one of the nicest salads ever, containing 602 calories per serving. Make a big portion, and keep it for lunches and warm nights.
I’m guessing this list is for unhealthy weight gain then?
to GIGI:
it’s very hard to gain weight without fats, and unfortunately most of the foods that contain fat contain saturated and trans fat as well … That’s what gives the products a longer shelf life…

to Ruthann:
Try to eat organic now as much as possible – the meat, the butter, the oil, eggs, fish – everything. It’s the healthiest way to put on some weight, sweetie.
Good luck to you and please stay strong!
This is really helpful for me as I am trying to bulk up for my contact sports eg rugby. Girls, I understand losing weight is the most important thing for you, but remember, for alot of guys, gaining weight is the most important thing
James,
Well good luck on all the bulking up :)
