Below we will be discussing the 10 best foods to eat for weight gain and WHY they are important for weight gain.

1)- Steak or Red Meat (this is a high calorie protein along with choice #2. Gaining weight is all about calories and consuming more than you burn. Protein is great for you because it repairs broken down muscle tissue you have from working out. So you are killing two birds with one stone. High calorie & high protein. Also, it’s a natural protein which is the best kind. Your body absorbs more. Protein shakes & powder should only be consumed to get the daily amount of protein in- natural protein from food is the best) 

If you are trying to gain weight, consuming 1G of protein per pound of desired body weight is what you should be focusing on. For example, if you weigh 150 and want to get to 160- you should consume 160G per day. Now, as athletes that can be tough to do because we are consistently on the go. You can also supplement for your protein with a whey protein powder.
