To gain weight not only successfully, but also healthily, you should focus on nutrient-rich foods.
Otherwise, your weight will increase, but you risk nutrient deficiencies and diseases such as hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Make sure you don’t eat too many high-calorie foods that are just "empty" Contain calories. Giving your body energy but little or no nutrients. For example, this applies to sugar.
Many convenience foods such as frozen pizzas or sauces contain high amounts of sugar and should only be eaten in moderation – even if you want to gain weight. Photo: SevenCooks
You should be careful with
highly processed convenience foods. They often contain additives, hidden salts and sugars, and industrial fats.
large amounts of animal fats, because they contain too much saturated fat and cholesterol. An exception is fatty sea fish such as salmon, herring or mackerel, which provide an extra portion of omega-3 fatty acids.

Make salad dressings with 2 to 3 tablespoons of flax or walnut oil per serving.
Cover seasonal fruit – or bananas in winter – with dark, melted chocolate& Garnish with a few chopped nuts.
Prefer a natural fat content in dairy products (e.g., milk). B. Whole milk or. natural yogurt).
Oven fries marinated in canola oil and spicy seasoning are a nutrient-rich, healthy alternative to industrial fries.
Instead of using cream quark (40 percent fat) for desserts or dips, enrich organic quark with 20 percent fat additionally with high-quality vegetable oil (healthier fatty acid profile).
Refine muesli with nuts, banana, coconut chips, vegetable cream and grated dark chocolate.
Prepare semolina porridge from wholemeal semolina& Fortify with vegetable cream.

How often do I need to eat to gain weight?
When losing weight are Snacks hindering – when gaining weight they help you. You can add, for example, to the three main meals, two snacks and preferably a late meal.
But this does not mean that you should eat without stopping! Between meals you should take small breaks, because from a health point of view it doesn’t make sense for your blood sugar to shoot up constantly. This can z. B. increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Your digestive system also benefits from an occasional food abstinence (eating break).
Drinks to gain weight at a glance:
For your meal breaks, I recommend Unsweetened beverages, to prevent a permanent rise in blood sugar. With meals you are welcome to have a glass of Juice enjoy – getting an extra dose of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals.
Eat your veggies: green smoothies provide you with lots of nutrients, like this one Lamb’s lettuce smoothie. Photo: SevenCooks
Industrially over-sweetened fruit juice drinks, nectars, lemonades or iced tea, on the other hand, should remain the exception, as they provide little or no valuable micronutrients other than sugar and additives.
My beverage tips:
– Freshly squeezed juice or direct juice from the refrigerated section.
– Fortify coffee and green or black tea with a little honey and vegetable cream. Why vegetable cream? Because animal fat, as found in conventional cream, inhibits the cell-protective effect.
– Plant milk or organic whole milk if desired (also as a milkshake with banana, vanilla and a little honey).
– Fortify smoothies with nuts or almonds, flaxseed, oil, avocado, melting flakes and banana.
– Refine a cocoa with melting flakes, vegetable cream and honey.
Tip: Melt flakes are wholesome and soluble oat or spelt flakes that can be used to enrich drinks – especially milk and smoothies – with extra nutrients. They are also suitable for refining and thickening sauces or homemade puddings.
Psychological aspects – Conscious enjoyment
If you want to eat healthy, you should not only pay attention to the nutrient content, but also to the individual enjoyment factor pay attention. Eat only foods that taste good to you. It can be helpful to give yourself a List of favorite high-energy, healthy foods and snacks to create.
Especially if you don’t have much of an appetite, I would encourage you to prepare your meals in a loving and appetizing way.
Regarding satiety: Listen to your gut feeling. When you feel comfortably full, it is important in terms of your well-being not to eat beyond the feeling of satiety. However, it can take a while until your stomach gets used to the increased amount of food.
Typical for eating disorders is that sufferers are no longer able to feel a natural sense of hunger and satiety. In this context, I would recommend you psychological support. In addition, the causes of your underweight can be uncovered in this way.
Take enough time for meals and create a pleasant atmosphere without distractions such as watching TV, talking on the phone, etc.
Tips for choosing& to enrich main meals
– The main meals should provide at least 500 calories.
– Pasta& sprinkle risotto with parmesan cheese.
– Dips, soups& enrich sauces with linseed or walnut oil or vegetable cream.
– Serve an appetizer and/or dessert with the main meal.
– Sprinkle dishes with chopped nuts& put some oil on top.
– Increase the carbohydrate portion – for example potatoes, pasta or rice.
build up muscles
For healthy weight gain, it is important to build muscle as well.
In order to build muscle tissue, your body not only needs to be supplied with enough energy and protein in the form of food, but the muscle cells need to be nourished by physical exercise be activated.
The best way to do this is with a targeted muscle training using your own body weight – push-ups, for example – or building muscle with dumbbells or barbells. Fitness equipment.
Tip: If you have not been very physically active so far, I would recommend that you take it easy. Too intensive physical activity would additionally stand in the way of weight gain.
Food for muscle building
The nuts and bolts of muscle building are foods rich in protein. The higher the biological value of the food protein (protein quality), the more effectively body protein – i.e. muscle tissue – can be built up from it.
Form the basis of high quality protein essential amino acids.
For an optimal muscle build-up, the following food combinations are useful, as they have a particularly high biological value:
Milk and potatoes, z. B. Mashed potatoes
Egg with potatoes, z. B. Scrambled eggs with potatoes
Cereals with milk, z. B. Muesli or pancakes
Cereals and legumes, z. B. Chili with rice
Cereals with yogurt, z. B. Oatmeal with yogurt dip
Cereals with cheese, z. B. a sandwich with mozzarella
You want to know how much protein you need per day? As a guide, your body needs 0.8 to 1 g of protein per kilogram of body weight.
The recipes in our weight gain nutrition plan provide a high proportion of essential amino acids and correspondingly high-quality protein.
