Weight Gain

• Believe it or not, we hear from many people each year who have a desire to GAIN weight
• It’s not a simple matter of nibbling non-stop or using protein powders
• Carefully put together 4 food groups in your 3 meals each day like this example meal:


• A substantial serving of pasta
• Vegetables and sauce
• Meatballs or chicken
• Cheese
• 2% or whole milk to drink
• Dessert like rice pudding or custard with fruit

• Also plan to eat 2 or 3 snacks that include at least 2 or 3 food groups in large portions
• Make beverages count: not just water – try milk, chocolate milk and higher calorie juices like apricot nectar or grape juice
• Weight training exercises, getting enough sleep and other lifestyle factors are also important in the weight gain process.
