Not only are these foods a low-carb option, they can also help you gain weight safely and effectively &#8211; whether you&#8217;re a weightlifter who\u2019s looking to bulk up or you\u2019re simply trying to add a few extra pounds for health reasons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we&#8217;ll show you 13 of the best high-calorie, low-carb foods that will help you achieve your weight gain goals while keeping you healthy and happy.

To gain weight, you must consume more calories than you burn. Carbs are often the most easily accessible form of calories and can contribute significantly to weight gain. However, all macronutrients &#8211; including protein and fat &#8211; can also provide calories and contribute to weight gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protein and fat are both essential for building muscle and maintaining a healthy metabolism (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2072-6643\/11\/5\/1136\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

This may seem contradictory, but calories and carbs are two separate things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calories are a measure of the energy content of food, whereas carbs are one of the three macronutrients (along with protein and fat) that provide the body with energy (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK218769\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain foods, such as nuts and seeds, are naturally high in calories but low in carbs. Other foods, such as whole-milk yogurt, may also be considered high-calorie and low-carb as long as the other ingredients are chosen carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, not all foods that are high in calories and low in carbs are good for weight gain. Some of these foods, such as processed junk foods, may contain a lot of calories and few carbs, but lack the essential nutrients your body needs to stay healthy and<a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-muscle\/\"> build muscle.<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, while low-carb diets are effective for weight loss, they may not be the best choice for those who are looking to gain weight. Your body needs carbs to function properly and cutting them out completely can leave you feeling fatigued and unmotivated (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/why-are-carbohydrates-important-7574416\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">26<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So with that in mind, let&#8217;s look at 13 of the best high-calorie, low-carb foods that will help you gain weight safely and effectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lean and toned up body isn\u2019t just a far-fetched fantasy.
