🍽 Tips for Healthy Weight Gain

Eat 5–6 meals per day instead of just 3.

Add calorie boosters (olive oil, nuts, cheese, seeds) to regular meals.

Focus on strength training so extra calories turn into muscle, not just fat.

Avoid relying on soda, fast food, or excess sugar—they add unhealthy fat instead of strength.
