We usually talk about methods and strategies for losing weight, but gaining weight in a healthy way is just as hard. The best way to start working on gaining healthy weight is to consult with a nutritionist, but here are some healthy foods that can help you achieve this.

Nuts and Nut Butter

Nuts and nut butters are loaded with healthy fat and protein and that’s why they’re a great choice if you want to boost your calorie intake. Only a handful of walnuts, almonds, peanuts, cashews, or other nuts will provide you with nearly 200 calories and will also boost your energy.

Fatty Fish

Fatty fish like salmon, tuna, mackerel, or trout are all excellent sources of omega-3 fats and protein, which means they can help you build muscle and gain healthy weight.

Dark Chocolate

Quality dark chocolate is actually super healthy and loaded with nutrients, but it’s also packed with calories and can promote weight gain.

Greek Yogurt

As you probably know, Greek yogurt is great for gut health and packed with protein, so adding it to your diet can help you build muscles.

Dried Fruit

Dried fruit is a good source of fiber and antioxidants but it’s also high in calories, and you can easily add it to your smoothies, oatmeal, salads, and other dishes.
