Nutrition Facts - Have One More

Eating more than your usual quantities helps. My trainer tells me to eat a little more than I usually eat – two sandwiches instead of one, three helpings instead of two, bigger glass of milk, larger bowl of cereal, more fruit than usual – all this makes that important difference.
For high calorie foods, read the labels on all the food you buy so that you can choose the ones that have the max. If you usually buy orange juice, switch to cran apple juice, which has more calories. Granola as more calories than Cheerios; Corn is more calorie rich than green beans. Its good to drink a lot of milk and juice – they can help you increase your calorie intake fast. Rather than water, go for calorie-rich liquids. Cran apple juice can help gain weight fast – you can add six glasses of it to your daily diet. My own recipe for a weight gain drink is to mix 1 quart of 2%-milk with 4 packets of Instant Breakfast and 1/2 cup of powdered milk. This makes a thousand calories. Blend it – drink half in the morning and half at night before you hit the sack. I prefer to do strengthening exercises like weight lifting, push ups etc to build muscle bulk. For those who cannot put on weight easily and think exercise makes you lose weight, remember exercise can increase your appetite and thirst and you will eat more. Plan it healthy.
