Best food for gaining weight

1. Bagels
   Bagels, and breads and cereals in general, made from whole grain, are excellent sources of carbohydrates. Breakfast is perhaps the most important meal of the day and bagels make excellent breakfast.
2. Peanut Butter
   Speaking of breakfast, peanut butter can be a delicious combination with bagels, bread and other breakfast items. It can also be used with a variety of snacks as well. High calorie snacks in between meals are a good strategy to gain those extra pounds.
3. Noodles and Pasta
   Pasta and noodles are easily-prepared and delicious calorie-dense sources of carbohydrates. They are readily available, and can be cooked in a number of ways with lots of healthy vegetables (for other vitamins and minerals) to taste and casually carried to places of work.
4. Whole eggs
   Eggs contain the Vitamins A, D, E and certain essential nutrients like sodium, magnesium and potassium. But the main highlight here is high protein content. Egg whites are even recommended for weight gain in professional body building courses.
5. Beans
   Beans are highly calorie-dense foods. We don't feel full very fast and hence tend to consume more. Beans are ideal for consumption at any time of the day – breakfast, lunch, dinner and even in the form of snacks.
6. Nuts for snacks
   Nuts are perfect to be used as snacks in between meals and on the go. Although comparatively smaller in size, they contain more calories per volume. Nuts are mainly constituted of polyunsaturated fats, which add healthy calories to your diet. Some useful nuts and seeds are almonds, walnuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and pumpkin seeds.
7. Healthy Fats and Oils
   
   Perhaps the easiest way to add calories to your diet is to include extra fat in your food intake, provided the fat is healthy and beneficial to the body. Omega 3 fats fall into this category and are, in fact, called essential fats as they are not produced by the body and hence need to be absorbed from food. They are found mostly in fish like bluefish, mackerel, herring, sturgeon, and also from plant sources like flax seeds , canola oil and olive oil. Using these oils for cooking would also be a good idea.
8. Potatoes
   Potatoes are naturally occurring rich sources of carbohydrates and complex sugars. Potato chips prepared in healthy oil make excellent snacks to be munched on in between meals. Grilled or baked potatoes are also effective for weight gain.
9. Fruit Juice
   A glass of well-prepared fruit juice contains sugar and fruit content which provides healthy calories and nutrients.
10. Fresh poultry products and meat, if available in healthy form and well cooked in the healthy oils mentioned here can work wonders in weight gain, as most of us already know!
