What I eat to make the weight stick!

I’m really not a calorie counter or a meal prepper but I just try to get quality groceries and stick to things with good fats.

💕 I needed a protein shake that actually taste good and this is the one that doesn’t upset my stomach. #foodstogainweight #summerbod #wellness #foodideas

... Read moreFor those looking to gain weight in a healthy way, focusing on nutrient-dense foods is essential. Incorporating quality proteins, healthy fats, and high-calorie vegetables into your diet can make a significant difference. One of my favorite meals includes a combination of steak, which is always a staple on my grocery list for its high protein content. Pairing it with sides like grits or rice not only adds calories but also provides carbohydrates, which can aid in muscle recovery and energy replenishment. Another go-to dish is Broccoli Panera Bread Mac n Cheese with salmon. This meal not only offers a comforting twist but also includes omega-3 rich salmon that promotes health and vitality. I also focus on simple, tasty snacks, like a creamy strawberry protein shake for breakfast, which is perfect for those mornings when you're in a rush. These shakes not only help meet my protein needs but are also easily digestible and satisfying, making them an ideal choice for anyone sensitive to heavier foods. Additionally, I always include healthy fats like avocados and nuts in my meals. They are calorie-dense and loaded with nutrients that support overall wellness. By prioritizing these types of foods, I ensure that my weight gain journey is both enjoyable and beneficial. Remember, it's not just about hitting calorie goals; it's about nourishing your body with the right types of food that you love.
