While a lot of people think exercise will help you lose weight, it’s not true. While it is true that cardio and other intense exercise can burn some calories, not all workouts and exercises reflect this. While eating a lot of the right food is the main ingredient for gaining weight the right way, supplementing this with lifting weights and working out to build strength and size will go a long way. If you are eating lots and working out lots (the right way) then you will very quickly see yourself gaining weight in a healthy fashion, with muscle, not fat.

2. Eat More Frequently

Another key in gaining weight is to eat more frequently than the regular three meals that people eat during the day. Your body needs continuously supplied energy to run at it’s best, so if you have long gaps in between when you eat, it can deprive your body of the fuel it needs to function.  If you eat maybe 5-6 meals only 2/3 hours apart or so, you will be fueling your body in a more consistent and timely manner, while also getting more calories in you which will help you gain more. Also, remember to keep it healthy too!

3. Drink Your Food

This one all comes down to the fact that liquid foods simply aren’t as filling as solid foods. So when you are trying to gain weight in a good way, having smoothies to drunk can really ramp up the nutrients and energy you require, without bloating you or making you feel the way that eating a ton of food might have. You can have much more liquid than you can solid, which will speed up how much weight you gain in a correct manner, without the bloated feeling of stuffing your face with food when you are trying to gain weight.
