How to Gain Weight Fast

While it seems most content on the internet is focused on weight loss, there is a good percentage of the population who actually needs to gain weight. The goal is typically to gain weight fast, but I would encourage you to gain weight at a healthy pace.

In most situations you should aim for gaining 1-2 pounds per week. At this rate you would gain 4-8 pounds per month, which is still pretty fast!

The type of weight you gain matters. You want to gain more muscle mass and less fast mass. Gaining weight too fast, and without proper exercise, can lead to excessive fat gains.

Be sure to incorporate strength training (think lifting weights or using resistance bands) while gaining weight. This will help to ensure you are gaining more muscle.

The key to gaining weight fast is to eat foods highest in calories. Foods containing dietary fat are highest in calories. You can also obtain extra calories through drinking supplements or eating whole foods.

Supplements to Gain Weight Fast

Supplements are often recommended to gain weight because they are convenient and effective. Nutrition supplements include Ensure*, Boost*, Glucerna, etc.

These products provide a high number of calories in a small volume. They are easy to drink. And easy to prepare. You just open the container.

I am a fan of supplements to gain weight when necessary. If you need to use nutrition supplements, that is 100% OK. But, as a dietitian, I am always a fan of food first.

And perhaps you too are looking for healthy real food options to help you gain weight.

Foods to Gain Weight Fast

The foods we are listing below are minimally processed and mostly whole foods. Whole foods are less likely to contain salt like processed foods. And they are generally considered healthy food choices.

Think of whole foods like the foods you get out of the garden or from a farm. Whole foods are typically found on the perimeter of grocery stores. Processed foods are typically found in the aisles.

You can combine a variety of these foods to make a healthy, homemade high calorie meal.

In this list we include a few foods that are minimally processed such as olive oil and Greek yogurt. But these are good, healthy foods to gain weight fast.

Dietary Fat for Gaining Weight

Foods that are high in fat will have the most calories. Let’s look at the breakdown of how many calories are in each of the 3 macronutrients (those nutrients with calories).

Macronutrient Calorie Breakdown

• Protein: 4 calories per gram
• Carbohydrate: 4 calories per gram
• Fat: 9 calories per gram

As you can see fats have more than twice as many calories per gram than protein and carbohydrates combined! So, when it comes to getting the most calories in the smallest amount of food, fat is the clear winner.

Fat has gotten a bad rap as being an unhealthy nutrient. But this is not true! Many fats are heart healthy and do all kinds of amazing things for our bodies.

Fats are generally lumped into 2 categories: saturated and unsaturated. Saturated fats are less healthy, so we want to consume these in moderation. Unsaturated fats are generally healthy.

Unsaturated fats include monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. Omega-3 fatty acids are also a healthy unsaturated fat.

That’s enough of the nitty gritty science about fats. Eating a high calorie diet with foods to gain weight fast is typically temporary. And for some frail, older adults it is so important for their health to gain weight (or stop weight loss).

We will dig into each food item below. Why are they an exceptional food to gain weight. And how to maximize the calories you are getting in a snack or meal.

Avocado

Avocados are our favorite whole food to gain weight.

They contain heart healthy monounsaturated fats. Additionally, they are jam packed with calories. And taste delicious.

You can buy avocado fresh, pre-mashed in containers, or frozen.

We love frozen avocado, because you don’t have to worry about the avocados going bad. Plus, they are a great addition to high calorie smoothies!

You can eat your avocado whole or use some of the ideas below to maximize calories for weight gain.

Half and Half

I like half and half because it is high in calories and makes food taste good.

I realize that some people have never heard of half and half. Think of it as creamer.

Half and half is a combination of whole milk and cream. You can find it in the dairy section at most grocery stores.

Because half and half has more calories than milk, it can help you gain weight faster.

An easy way to use half and half is to just swap in where you would usually use milk. Here are some ideas on how to use half and half to maximize calories.

These seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids and are heart healthy.

Unless you are sure to chew your flax seeds really well, you might want to consider ground flax seed.

Or grinding it yourself with a food processor or high-powered blender (ex. Vitamix)! Flax seed powder is easy to mix into the foods and drinks you are already eating.

Salmon

Salmon is also high in omega-3 fatty acids and is good for heart health.

Health experts recommend eating fish a couple times per week. 

Fish is a healthy food option. And by selecting a fatty fish option like salmon, you can gain weight too!

Salmon makes a good entrée for dinner, but it can also be added to salads for lunch. Or you can eat some smoked salmon as a snack!

How to Maximize Calories

• Grill salmon on skewers and coat with a brown sugar teriyaki sauce.

Greek Yogurt

Yogurt is made from milk and is high in probiotics.

Greek yogurt is thicker than regular yogurt and higher in protein.

The added protein in Greek yogurt, when combined with resistance exercise, is good for muscle health.

When selecting a Greek Yogurt for gaining weight, be sure to avoid products that are fat free or low fat. These options are lower in calories. Higher calorie foods will help you gain weight faster.

Look for Greek yogurt made from whole fat milk. Read the nutrition label and ingredient list to confirm the ingredients in the product you are looking to buy.

You can also make your own home-made yogurt. It’s not as hard as you may think. You just need a thermometer, whole fat yogurt, and some starter yogurt.

You can make yogurt in the oven, using an Instant Pot, or yogurt maker. I like to make yogurt in my Instant Pot* using whole milk and starter yogurt. I strain the yogurt to make it a thicker Greek yogurt.

You can eat Greek yogurt plain or use some of the ideas below to maximize your calories for optimal weight gain.

How to Maximize Calories

Here are some ideas on how to use Greek yogurt for weight gain:

• Top your oatmeal with a dollop of Greek yogurt; add nuts, dried fruit, drizzle with agave.

Olive Oil

Olive oil isn’t necessarily a whole food you eat by itself.

But, you can add it to so many foods to add a boost of calories!

Olive oil is a heart healthy fat. It comes in plain and flavored varieties.

You can always dip some warm French bread into some olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a tasty treat. I like to make my own home-made salad dressings. Or you can simply use it with cooking in the frying pan.

• Cook your food in olive oil, like chicken and vegetables, to add flavor and calories.

Whole Milk

There are a variety of milks you can choose from the grocery store.

In addition to cow’s milk, you can typically find goat milk and a variety of plant-based milks.

When it comes to cow’s milk, you can purchase fat free (0% fat), low fat (1%), reduced fat (2%), and whole milk.

Whole milk has not had any fat (or calories!) removed. Therefore, whole milk has the most calories among all of the milk options listed above.

Calories in 8 ounces of milk:

• Fat Free (Skim) Milk: 83 calories
• 1% Milk: 102 calories
• 2% Milk: 122 calories
• Whole Milk: 149 calories

When you take fat away from milk, you are taking away calories. For those needing to gain weight, you need all of the calories you can get.

For the same volume, just by choosing whole milk, you will be getting the most calories!

Another tip to get even more calories is to choose a flavored milk, like chocolate milk or strawberry milk. The added flavor and sugar add more calories.

Calories in 8 ounces of flavored milk (whole fat):

• Regular Milk: 149 calories
• Strawberry Milk: 201 calories
• Chocolate Milk: 204 calories

Read the nutrition facts label on milk when purchasing at the store. Flavored milk varieties with low fat milk will have fewer calories.  

How to Maximize Calories

Here are some ideas on how to use whole milk for weight gain:

• Add whole milk to your cereal or oatmeal; top with nuts and dried fruit.
• Drink a glass of whole milk to a meal or with a high calorie snack.

Sunflower Seeds

Nuts and seeds are both reliable high calorie foods that you can grab and go.

Sunflower seeds are a great option because they can be eaten as a snack or added to your food.

You can purchase sunflower seeds in the shell or already shelled. Or even flavored varieties, though these are usually higher in sodium.

Shelled sun flower seeds are easier to use and you can eat them quicker, getting more calories faster.

However, eating a bag of shelled sunflower seed and spitting out the shells can be a fun way to enjoy a snack. Use some of the ideas below to maximize your calories to gain weight fast.

Tuna

Tuna, like salmon, is a fatty fish. This means it is higher in calories than other fish varieties.

You can purchase tuna filets or canned tuna. Or even packets of ready to eat tuna.

Canned tuna is typically sold packed in water or packed in oil. Canned tuna in oil is going to have more calories than canned tuna in water.

You can add tuna to crackers, make a tuna fish sandwich, add it to your casserole, and more.

Butter

Butter isn’t a food you will be eating by itself (right?!).

But we added butter to this list because you can add it to so many different foods for an extra boost of calories.

You can purchase salted or unsalted butter based on your individual needs and preferences.

The salt content of butter does not impact the calorie content. Both are good for weight gain.

Butter is different than hard stick margarines which typically contain trans fats. Trans fats are an unhealthy fat that we should generally avoid. Be sure to read the food label when purchased your butter.

Use these ideas to use butter to maximize your calories for weight gain.

How to Maximize Calories

Here are some ideas on how to use butter for weight gain:

• Mix butter to oatmeal with cream, brown sugar, chopped nuts, and dried fruit.

Tri Tip

Meats contain a variety of protein and fat.

The mix of protein and fat depends on the type of meat and the cut of meat.

Many meats are lean, meaning they are lower in fat. Lower in fat is lower in calories. Choosing a fattier cut of beef will provide more calories, helping you to gain weight faster.

A good cut of beef which includes a decent amount of fat and calories is tri tip. Tri tip is well marbled with fat, has great flavor, and is high in protein. Brisket is another good fatty cut of beef.

Because of the protein in beef, eating beef can help with gaining muscle along with your weight gain. Be sure to do some resistance exercises to help gain muscle mass with adequate protein.

Below are some ideas to maximize your calories to gain weight fast.
