Your body always requires energy. Even when it seems as if you aren\u2019t doing anything, you spend energy to keep breathing, maintain your heartbeat, keep your blood pumping, and sustain all the other vital body processes (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK499909\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/publications\/dictionaries\/cancer-terms\/def\/calorie\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main sources of calories are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Among these three <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/macro-calculator\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">macronutrients<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, fat is the most calorie-rich, with 1 gram containing 9 calories, while 1 gram of carbohydrates contains 4 calories, as does 1 gram of protein (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nal.usda.gov\/fnic\/how-many-calories-are-one-gram-fat-carbohydrate-or-protein\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

If you want to slim down, you need to consume fewer calories than you burn or burn more calories than you consume. In this way, your body will run out of energy that comes from food and start to burn the stored fat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A healthy weight loss rate is losing 1 to 2 pounds (0.45 to 1 kg) a week (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/healthy-weight-growth\/losing-weight\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The best way to achieve this loss is by going on a calorie deficit where you consume 500 to 750 kcals less than your average caloric intake (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8017325\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please note that while you can attempt to shed extra weight through exercise, research has shown that a healthy calorie-deficit diet is your best bet for long-lasting goals (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8017325\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). However, a combination of both exercise and a caloric deficit <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/balanced-diet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">healthy diet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> beats either dieting or exercise for weight loss (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC4429709\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Empty_Calories_%E2%80%93_The_Antagonists_of_Weight_Loss\"><\/span><b>Empty Calories \u2013 The Antagonists of Weight Loss<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although calories are generally not your best friends when it comes to weight loss, your main enemy on this journey is \u201cempty\u201d calories. This type of calories provides you with energy, but very little nutritional value. They come mainly from foods and drinks that have a high added sugar, fat, or alcohol content, but little or no essential components (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/study.com\/academy\/lesson\/what-are-empty-calories-definition-foods.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consuming a lot of empty calories, particularly in place of more nutrient-dense foods, may contribute to weight gain and nutrient deficiencies. A 2012 survey found that an average male adult consumes an average of 923 empty calories per day and an average adult female eats 624 empty calories per day (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ars.usda.gov\/news-events\/news\/research-news\/2012\/snacking-associated-with-increased-calories-decreased-nutrients\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From this, it can be seen that empty calories can cause weight gain by making you eat a lot more calories than is recommended. If a calorie deficit results in weight loss, then a calorie surplus does the opposite, leading to weight gain. It\u2019s also important to remember that empty calories can also cause cravings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts have suggested that as these foods don\u2019t have any nutrients and give your body nothing to work with, you end up developing cravings as your body\u2019s way of signaling that it requires nutrients (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ijaer.org\/admin\/uploads\/paper\/file1\/u2qnC0U7tpnriX(19319)1c6qU+g==1.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

There is also a great variety of healthy high-calorie foods. Usually, those who want to gain weight and muscle mass healthily ask the question: \u201cWhat are the most fattening healthy foods?\u201d. This is because it\u2019s not so easy to separate the unhealthy from the healthy ones. Here are some healthy high-calorie foods:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Milk<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/is-drinking-milk-before-bed-good-for-weight-loss\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Milk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a great source of various essential macro- and micronutrients. Dairy is an excellent source of calcium, which is incredibly important for your bone health and vital functions as well as protein, which helps your body build muscles. Drinking milk throughout the day can add to your protein intake, bone health, and muscle mass.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Nuts and Nut Butter<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nuts are a great healthy snack option, no matter what your goal is. The main difference is that when you\u2019re trying to slim down, it\u2019s recommended that you consume nuts in small portions, whereas with a weight-gain plan, you can have more of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both raw and dry roasted nuts are filled with healthy fats and calories and are a great addition to many meals, including salads. Nut butter made without added sugar can also be of great help.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cheese<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another representative of dairy products, cheese is also a great option for healthy weight gain. As with milk, it contains plenty of nutrients and even more calories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out this article for the <\/span><b><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/best-fats-for-keto\/\">best fats for keto<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Fattening_Foods_\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-59308\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Clean-Bulking-Meal-Plan-For-Building-Lean-Muscle-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Fattening Foods \" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Clean-Bulking-Meal-Plan-For-Building-Lean-Muscle.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Clean-Bulking-Meal-Plan-For-Building-Lean-Muscle-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Clean-Bulking-Meal-Plan-For-Building-Lean-Muscle.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Clean-Bulking-Meal-Plan-For-Building-Lean-Muscle-1636x920.png 1636w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Eggs<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A single <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/egg-diet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">egg<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> isn\u2019t that rich in calories and won\u2019t make you put on pounds, which is why eggs are often a part of weight-loss diets. However, if you\u2019re bulking up, consuming eggs may help you boost your results. They\u2019re a great source of protein, healthy fats, and a wide plethora of other vital nutrients, most of which are found in the yolk.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Animal Protein<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people have found red meat to be incredibly effective when it comes to muscle building. Some bodybuilding diets, such as the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/vertical-diet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vertical diet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, focus mainly on the consumption of red meat and white rice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the essential protein and fat, red meat contains leucine and creatine \u2013 nutrients that play a crucial role in boosting muscle mass. It\u2019s recommended that you consume leaner cuts of meat as they are healthier for the heart due to containing less saturated fat. Lean poultry is also an excellent source of the same nutrients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fatty Fish<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like meats, fish is also a great source of protein that can add to your caloric intake. Salmon in particular is rich in healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids and a wide range of vitamins and minerals.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Avocados<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/11-possible-negative-side-effects-from-avocado\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avocados<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are known for their contents of healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and calories. They make a great addition to your salad or sandwich, leading to a higher caloric intake.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fats and Oils<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s only natural that fats and oils are some of the most fattening foods. They\u2019re bursting with calories and may significantly contribute to weight gain. Aim for oils that contain healthy unsaturated fats, such as olive and avocado oil.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Starchy Foods<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starchy foods and vegetables are recommended in moderation on weight loss diets, but they make great options for any healthy weight gain meal plan. Healthy starches are also a great source of complex carbs that help keep your body energetic throughout the day. While they\u2019re not inherently fattening, eating larger portions of them can help add calories to your diet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some of the foods that are rich in starches you can add to your diet:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Potatoes (regular and sweet)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corn<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quinoa and other whole grains<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/bean-diet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and legumes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Winter squash<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Winter root vegetables<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rice<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whole-grain pasta and bread<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can use all of these ingredients for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/macro-friendly-recipes\/\"><b>macro-friendly recipes<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that will help you meet your weight goals healthily.<\/span><\/p>\n\n    <section class=\"ad-select-gender\">\n        <div class=\"ad-select-gender-wrapper\">\n            <img class=\"ad-select-gender-image\" alt=\"MaleImage\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/themes\/gridlove-child\/assets\/img\/ad\/MaleImage.webp\">\n    \n            <div class=\"ad-select-gender-text mobile-hide\">\n                <div class=\"ad-select-gender-desc\">Get your <span class=\"green f-600\">personal plan<\/span> according to your age and BMI<\/div>\n                <div class=\"ad-select-gender-title f-600\">\n                    Select your gender\n                <\/div>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Shortcod2\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\" target=\"_blank\">Male<\/a>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Shortcod2\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\" target=\"_blank\">Female<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n    \n            <img class=\"ad-select-gender-image\" alt=\"FemaleImage\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/themes\/gridlove-child\/assets\/img\/ad\/FemaleImage.webp\">\n        <\/div>\n    \n        <div class=\"ad-select-gender-text desktop-hide mobile-block\">\n          <div class=\"ad-select-gender-desc\">Get your <span class=\"green f-600\">personal plan<\/span> according to your age and BMI<\/div>\n          <div class=\"ad-select-gender-title f-600\">\n            Select your gender\n          <\/div>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Shortcod2\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\" target=\"_blank\">Male<\/a>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Shortcod2\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\" target=\"_blank\">Female<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Gain_Weight_for_Females\"><\/span><b>How to Gain Weight for Females<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest way to gain weight is to go on a calorie surplus, i.e. eat more calories than you eat right now.
