add these foods if you want to gain weight:
1. 1L of whole milk a day (500kcal)
2. 1 cup of almonds (800kcal)
3. 8 tbsps of natural peanut butter (600kcal)
4. 1 bar of dark chocolate (200kcal)

that's roughly 2100kcal (off the top of my head) a day and the rest of your meals (i assume at least 3), eat them like you normally would. eat them throughout the day and before bed.

i estimate you're eating around 2000-2200kcal a day which if you want to gain weight, hardly seems enough. a 1 cup of almonds a day to your diet and you should be filling out your clothes given some time.

Wondering where can I get almond flakes ? ..
Tried searching around supermarkets (ie. AEON, Giant, Tesco and Cold Storage) - can't really find them. Don't know where they hide it .. sweat.gif

I would suggest you buy whole almonds and put them through a blender if you want flakes.should be cheaper.alternatively, check the baking aisle of the supermarket.

Hi all,

I'm 31 yrs old, 178cm 55kg. Severely underweight. I don't workout

I've tried to gain weight previously but never really had the discipline.

However, I'm now determine to gain weight and my modest goal is now 3 kgs by end of the year. Here's my meal plan.

Breakfast (abt 300cal)
- Milo with Cereal and Milk
- Two slices of bread with tuna/peanut butter

Snack (abt 220cal)
- Oat crackers with cereals
- Milo/Milk

Lunch (abt 600cal)
- 2 bowls of rice with vege and meat (pref chicken breast)

Snack (abt 250cal)
- Nuts
- Crackers
- Fruits
- Ice Cream

Dinner (abt 600cal)
- 2 bowls Rice
- Vege & Meat
- Fruits

Before Sleep (abt 220cal)
- Biscuits
- Milo

I intend to workout 3 times a week and perhaps add supplements into my diet (once after workout and once before 1 sleep).

Do you guys think this is realistic? 3 kgs by year end. Bonus will be 5kg..smile.gif

not realistic with the current diet. however, if you add 1 cup of almonds throughout the day and a nice 3-egg cheese omelete before you sleep, you should be good to go. that's an additional 1100kcal right there which bumps your daily caloric intake to about 3290kcal a day.

also, what xGKx Phoenix mentioned about getting enough protein in your diet. as it is, you're weigh/whey below (horrible puns intended).

I tried to gain weight before. I can actually eat many..
But every time after I eat many, I will cirit birit.. T_T

your 'eating a lot' is very subjective. the other thing is do you consistantly eat this same amount 7 days of the week?

some of the reasons people find it hard to gain weight is that they are not consistant in their meals from a caloric standpoint. they may eat 3000-4000kcal on Monday but as they found it difficult to take in that amount of food, they start to decline to 2800kcal on Tuesday, 2500kcal on Wednesday and so on.

you need to be getting enough calories to gain weight on a daily basis. there is no other way around this.

Tqvm Bro, where do you get the Sanitarium peanut butter? it is so hard to find one. As for others I am consuming almost the same food as you do. Quacker Oat Original, Soy Milk/HL Milk /Everyday powder milk, Skippy peanut butter, banana, Massimo wholemeal bread, eggs, chicken, all kind of nuts and granola bars. I would love to add Salmon, to my meal, but i never try it. sad case.
As for now, i don't take any supplement yet, bulk up using the food first and will add all the supplement and vitamin later. Still searching for the best fish oil brand.

i read in a previous post that you eat cashews and pistachios. i would suggest that you replace them with almonds instead. 1 cup a day has 800kcal and 30g of protein.

also, i would choose dairy over soy unless you are lactose intolerant or have issues with dairy products because when taken in large quantities, some studies have shown that soy isoflavones which are similar in structure to estrogen could effect testosterone levels in males. another recommendation would be to drink dutch lady milk either in its fresh or full cream variant.

granola bars are something that i would skip as well. just look at the ingredients and most of it are highly processed sugars. there are better alternatives for the calories and money spent on those bars.

if you're ever in doubt that you're not eating enough, then eat somemore.
