There are many reasons underweight women may find it hard to gain weight, according to WebMD. Genetics can obviously play a role, as well as individual personalities and the environment. However, a little planning and attention to good nutrition can help you gain weight.
Nutritious Calories
Pack as many nutritious calories into each serving as possible. Add grated cooked eggs to mashed potatoes, ground chicken to soups, and cheese to casseroles and eggs.
Beverages
Limiting beverages to a half-hour before and after meals will help. Also, try drinking mixed juices, such as peach/orange/banana, instead of one juice beverage, for more calories.
Alcohol
A small amount of alcohol (4 ounces of wine, 6 ounces of beer, or a half-ounce of liquor with juice) before a meal can stimulate the appetite. However, this recommendation should be cleared by a doctor, especially for women taking medication. Too much alcohol can be bad for your health and lessen your resolve to eat healthfully.
Snacks
For healthy weight gain, snack between meals. Nuts, dried fruit or yogurt are good options. Also try having a nutritious snack, such as a peanut butter sandwich, before bedtime.
