Weight Gain Diet Advice

Being underweight can be just as unhealthy as being overweight, and a BMI of under 20 is considered unhealthy.

500 Calories Extra For Optimum weight Gain

Experts agree that an extra 500 calories a day on average is the optimum amount to help most underweight people gain weight. This would mean a gain of 1 pound per week, on average.

Even though there does not seem to be a lot of research available on why some people should be underweight, or why they have difficulty gaining weight, the main reason seems to be the reverse of why people become overweight.

Underweight people tend to eat less calories and also tend to exercise more. Just like many overweight people eat more than they think, many underweight people eat less than they think.

Healthy Weight Gain

The key to healthy weight gain is to eat calorie-dense, but healthy foods. A high-fat diet of junk foods or high in saturated fat is not recommended.

Sample Weight Gain Diet

The average calorie requirement for adult women is approximately 1900 calories per day.

This means the optimum amount to help most underweight people gain weight is about 2400 calories. For a healthy sample diet plan to help you put on weight, click Weight Gain Diet
