Nutrition Fact - Eating More Than You Lose

I can’t get away from the fact that weight gain is all about balanced eating and regulated physical activity. I’ve been told enough times – and it is true! Just like in normal life – weight gainers need a healthy lifestyle too. We see lots of people finding it tough to lose weight – but as we know, there are underweight people desperately trying to gain weight. Granted, there are supplements that promise results – but you gotta work it so that you eat more than you burn. But don’t just do those three solid meals a day. Instead break it up – get in snacks that are nutritive as well as in the weight gainer class. There is no need to feel as if you have eaten too much – just takes a little planning.

Here are tips on calorie-loaded foods. No – not the yummy desserts and the fried things – they’re fine, but try and concentrate on the foods that are loaded with protein, vitamins, minerals and calories. Bread, cereal, rice and pasta come in this class. Go for the granola, bagels, biscuits and cornbread. Fruits – the nectars, the canned stuff, the dried stuff. Veggies like avocado, olives, potatoes, peas; peanut butter, nuts, chickpeas, dry beans; milk foods like yoghurt, cheese, puddings, custards…go for them!
