How many carbohydrates a day for weight gain?

If you are trying to gain weight, it is best to do so in a healthy manner. This means not having all of your excess calories come from fats and unhealthy junk foods. Instead, try adding about 100 to 200 extra calories a day from healthy alternatives. This means lean proteins / meats, nuts, fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy, and whole grains. To do so, this can easily be done by adding one of these things to your diet (extra) daily...

* Medium to large sizes Apple

* Cup of yougurt

* Glass of milk

* 5 to 6 crackers with low-fat cheese

* Handful of nuts / trail mix

* Piece of fish

* Small piece of chicken

* Slice or two of whole grain bread

* Spoonful of peanut butter

* Bowl of mixed veggies

* Small bowl of maccaroni

* Granola bar

* Handful of dried fruit

Simply adding these (1 daily) can add 10 pounds to your body in a year.
