[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 686981, member: 11791"] Needing to gain weight is a problem lots of us would love to have :rofl: Having said that... for years, my mom was in that situation. Had a medical condition that burned calories at a serious rate. She HAD to consume considerable calories just to maintain her weight. So, some hints: 1) Make sure your diet includes foods that are both nutrition-dense and calorie-dense. Some examples are avocados, nuts, dried fruit, whole-milk cheese, high-quality dark chocolate. Small quantities of these have a significant impact on both nutrition and calories. 2) Don't snack within 2 hours of a planned meal. It will kill your appetite. Snack [I]after[/I] eating is fine. 3) Avoid "diet" drinks. Naturally zero-calorie drinks are fine - water, herbal tea. Milk is good. Natural juices are ok in moderation. Skip high-sugar, low-nutrition drinks (like soda). 4) When possible, double up on your toppings. Baked potato... with butter? or sour cream? How about both. That pat of butter is a few more calories. More than eating, though, your key to putting on weight is probably going to lie in putting on muscle. That warehouse job may help. Muscle burns calories. More muscle burns more calories. And building muscle burns calories. [/QUOTE]
