Tips for gaining weight
• Drink milk or try one of the "High Calorie Recipes" listed below instead of drinking low-calorie beverages.
• Ask your doctor or dietitian about nutritional supplements. Sometimes, supplements in the form of snacks, drinks (such as Ensure or Boost) or vitamins might be prescribed to eat between meals. These supplements help you increase your calories and get the right amount of nutrients every day. Note: Do not use supplements in place of your meals.
• Avoid low-fat or low-calorie products unless you have been given other dietary guidelines. Use whole milk, whole milk cheese, and yogurt.
• Use the "Calorie Boosters" listed in this article to add calories to your favorite foods.
