To gain weight, you need to eat more calories than your body needs. If you’re a so called “hardgainer” you’ll need at least 5000kcal/day on average before you start to see weight gain. Anything less and you’ll remain skinny.
But how do you eat that much? By spreading your calories into as many meals as you can. That’s why building the habit of eating breakfast is crucial to gain weight. Here are the top 5 breakfast recipes for weight gain.
1. Oatmeal. 400kcal per 100g. I recommend rolled oats. Quick oats are fine too, but I feel it tastes like sand. Mix with one or more of the ingredients below and microwave it. Then top with cinnamon.
- Natural peanut butter.
- Milk. Especially whole milk.
- Nuts. Almonds, cashews, walnuts.
- Fruits. Bananas, apples, pears, pineapple.
- Dried Fruits. Raisins, dates, prunes, apricots.
- Cottage Cheese. Or quark cheese or plain yogurt.
- Tuna. I have a friend who mixes it with oats & milk. Try it.
Granola and Muesli are great alternatives to oatmeal since they contain similar amount of calories. Make sure you buy them without added sugars. The more they come into their raw form, the better. You’ll avoid fat gains.
