Understanding Healthy Weight Gain
Caloric Surplus
To gain weight, you need to consume more calories than you burn. A surplus of 300-500 calories per day typically results in 0.5-1 pound of weight gain per week.
Muscle vs Fat
Combining proper nutrition with resistance training helps ensure weight gain comes primarily from muscle mass rather than just body fat.
Progressive Approach
Gradual weight gain is healthier and more sustainable. Rapid weight gain can lead to excessive fat accumulation and health issues.
Health Monitoring
Regular health check-ups are important when gaining weight to ensure metabolic health markers remain within healthy ranges.
