11. Yogurt
The fruit-flavored, non-fat yogurt can give you as much as 118 calories for a 125-gram serving.
12. Pure Fruit Juice
Aside from giving your body the vitamins and nutrients that it needs, pure fruit juices also pack a lot of calories. One ounce of the commercially-packaged fruit juice contains 57 calories.
13. Bananas
One large banana contains 20 calories, and when you slice that up with your peanut butter sandwich or breakfast cereal, guess how much more calories you can get.
Bananas have the reputation for causing weight gain for good reason. They are very high in simple carbs. Eating a lot of them will make you gain weight but it probably won’t be from muscle.

14. Nuts
All types of nuts are good for the heart, and are high in calories. Salted, roasted cashew nuts, for example, has 165 calories for each serving.
15. Olive Oil
One tablespoon of the olive oils that you use at home contains 40 calories and it’s healthier than the regular cooking oil that you use for frying.
Olive oil, which is pure fat, contains 1920 calories per cup. Any food that has a lot of fat in it will have a high calorie density.

[...] I mean, I do miss Julia. How long has it been since her megawatt smile has grazed the big screen? But please, if you’re a million-dollar earning celebrity and you know that the paparazzi is out to get pictures of you – would you still wear a body-baring bikini if you know that you have all that extra poundage on your belly?

[...] Moreover, if the deadly disease diabetes runs in your family, a vegan diet can also help increase your insulin sensitivity, allowing nutrients to more rapidly enter the cells of the body to be converted to heat rather than to fat. [...]
I am glad there is a site up here as i would like to gain weight and the fatty foods help its important for some people to gain weight just as much as it is for a woman to loose weight, gaining weight for a man is important.
To Lee- That’s because you’re a Fat Ass!
I’m glad to here all the things that could help me, Im 20 yrs old and I have always been skinny. I hate being a size 2-3. people don’t understand it but I’m not expecting them too, I would be happy to have a shape to my body maybe a size 7 or 9 im just sick of feeling bony. Being too thin can make a person feel unconfident and thats been my story for a very long time.
Thanks Again!

Thanks alot for the article. I am a 25yr old mother of three, and believe it or not- I have been trying to gain weight for a long time. The only time I ever gain weight is when I’m pregnant, and afterwards I’m back to my original size in no time. I’m 5′3″ and I currently weigh 120lbs. Hopefully by following this article’s suggestions, I can gain atleast 20-25lbs before summer comes again. Everyone likes a little meat on their bones!! I have been skinny as a rail all of my life because of my fast metabolism, I desperately want to be a little heavier.
I value the information contained in this blog..thank you to everyone who contributed. I will certainly do like wise..in order to gain that weight…its not nice to stay thin for all your life.
