3. Snacks should be of high calorie such as milk shakes, yogurt, high carbohydrate food- banana.
4. Eat more complex carbohydrates like whole-grain breads, pasta and Brown Rice etc.
5. Never skip your breakfast. Include one eggs and fruit juice to your breakfast.

7. Eat food with higher calories, Moderate fats, Higher Protein, Higher Fiber, Higher nutrition.
8. Choose high-quality protein sources such as eggs, meat, fish, milk, seeds, protein supplements etc.

14. Beverages can help you gain a weight too. If it is possible, drink shakes, milk, juice, etc. instead of tea, coffee and diet sodas.
15. Do 30 minutes of resistance training. Weight training helps to convert the extra calories into muscle, hence add some extra pounds to your body.
