How to Gain Weight Without Fat — Dietitian's Tips
Gaining weight while staying in shape is possible! The main thing is to do it right. Dietitian Anna Levina explains.
🎯 The goal is not just weight, but body quality
Our task is not to gain "any" mass, but to improve body composition: more muscle, less fat. This approach helps you look athletic and feel energetic.
🍽️ More calories - but only "clean" ones
To gain weight, you need to eat more. But not fast food and sweets, rather calorie-dense but healthy foods:
-
Grains (oatmeal, buckwheat, quinoa)
-
Nuts, avocado, olive oil
-
Meat, fish, eggs, legumes
Increase your diet by 300-500 calories per day - and your body will start to grow.
💪 Protein - your builder
To gain muscle mass, not fat, you need to eat protein:
1.6-2.2 grams per 1 kg of body weight per day.
Best sources: chicken breast, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, protein shakes.
🏋️♂️ No way without workouts
Muscles only grow under load. Start with basic exercises:
squats, bench press, pull-ups, deadlifts.
3-4 workouts per week - and the results won't keep you waiting.
⏱️ Everything under control
The ideal pace for gaining mass is 300-600 g per week.
More - risk of getting fat. Weigh yourself once a week and track your progress.
🌙 Sleep, water and calmness
Healthy sleep, clean water and minimal stress are just as important as nutrition and workouts. Hormones responsible for growth are active during these times.
💡 Conclusion
Weight gain is not about "eating more," but about a smart approach to nutrition and training. Start with small steps, and your body will reward you with strength and energy.
