Some Healthy Foods That Can Make You Fatter - A Feedist's Guide
Hello, everyone, Cow here! Below will be a list comprised of different foods you can eat to gain weight while keeping your risk of health problems as low as possible. I'll also include a tip for each food! Keep in mind that while some may not seem high in calories, you are meant to eat them in large quantities to gain weight. The more you eat, the fatter you'll get.
I hope this is a helpful source for some of you! Please feel free to add on to and share it! ❤️🐮
This may surprise some of you, but olive oil is actually extremely healthy to drink! It's reported that some Mediterraneans actually drink 1/4 cup of it every single morning in order to reap the many health benefits. It's been proven that olive oil helps prevent the risk of heart disease, balance your blood sugar levels, support bone health, boost digestive health, and even reduce inflammation! It's a VERY healthy fat to consume, but what's even better is that it tends to be high in calories. 1/2 cup of olive oil adds up to 955 calories! A full cup is 1,910 total calories.
Tip: If you plan on drinking olive oil, chase it with a potent flavored juice, such as pomegranate or orange juice. On top of this, eat more absorbent foods as you drink; this includes bread, crackers, rice, and pastries.
Especially whole milk! Milk is a great, healthy way to get fat quick, and I was even told to have a glass of milk with every meal. Milk is a great source of calcium, which supports bone and joint health, and is also a very balanced source of carbs, fats, and proteins. 1 cup of milk contains 149 calories, which may not seem like much in comparison to the olive oil, but if you keep drinking glass after glass or add milk as a component of a gainer shake, you're bound to gain fat quickly!
Tip: If you're lactose intolerant, they do make milk substitutes, such as almond milk! This will still make you gain weight in large amounts but may not be as quick. If you can't have almonds either, they do make lactose intolerant milk.
To start, brown rice lowers your cholesterol levels, which is very important to keep track of as a gainer. It also promotes digestive health, aids in preventing blood clots, and contains a low sugar level, making it great for those who struggle with blood sugar. Rice, in general, is good for you, but brown rice is especially fattening. 1 cup is 216 calories, and combined with other high calorie foods, such as scrambled eggs and red meat, you'll be packing on the pounds in no time!
Tip: When eating brown rice, I suggest eating the largest serving you can in order to gain the most from it. Keep in mind that rice makes you feel full quite fast, so you'll need to scarf it down quickly!
As a whole, nuts and nut butters are great choices in healthy weight gain! Nuts are free of dietary cholesterol, good at promoting digestive health, rich in vitamins and minerals, and great for helping to prevent heart disease and diabetes. Although there are many types of nuts, each with their own set of benefits, the most common (that I've noticed) tend to be peanuts (1 cup = 828 calories), almonds (1 cup = 529 calories), and pistachios (1 cup = 691 calories). The most caloric nuts, however, are pine nuts (1 cup = 909 calories), macadamia nuts (1 cup = 962 calories), and Brazil nuts (1 cup = 872 calories). As you can see, nuts can be pretty filling!
Tip: Nuts are a great ingredient in snacks and shakes! Eating nuts alongside something else can makes them easier to eat in large quantities. I suggest craisins, chex-mix, dried fruits, and dark chocolate.
It's important to note that there is a distinction between full fat and zero fat Greek yogurt. Full fat is much more fattening, while zero fat...well, I'm sure you can figure that one out. Full fat Greek yogurt is not only fattening, but it also improves bone health, promotes a healthy digestive tract, and may reduce the risk of diabetes. For an idea of how many calories it has, 1 cup of full fat Greek yogurt is 220 calories. That may not seem like a lot, but paired with other highly fattening foods, you're guaranteed to gain weight!
Tip: Full fat Greek yogurt is a great addition to gainer shakes! It will make your shakes much smoother and tastier as well, especially since you can get yogurt in a variety of flavors.
Bet you didn't think chocolate would be on this list at all, yet here we are! Dark chocolate has a variety of health benefits, such as regulating blood sugar levels, balancing stress hormone levels, reducing the risk of heart disease and diabetes, and may even reduce stress. Within 1 cup of dark chocolate chips, there are 917 calories, so it's definitely a very caloric snack as well!
Tip: Dark chocolate is great mixed into shakes, snacks, and pastries! You can even melt dark chocolate in a pot in roder to make Spanish hot chocolate (it'll be super thick and gooey, too; it's very tasty).
Starches include beans, potatoes, corn, oats, squash, and a variety of other things. Most Starches promote great gut health and help you keep weight on, which is great for those of you who have trouble gaining. Starches are mostly good at adding in extra carbs, which is where their fattening content comes from, although they aren't usually very high in calories. 1 cup of diced potatoes, for example, is only 116 calories, but the amount of carbs is 150 grams. The high carbs are mostly what you're looking for, when it comes to starches.
Tip: When you're eating starches, be sure to eat them as quickly as you can in order to benefit from a carb overload because they will make you full VERY fast!
I think it's safe to say most people have heard of major health benefits of eating fish. Each type of fish has its own benefits, but some common benefits include boosting your immune system, providing you with Omega-3 fatty acids, helping prevent chronic diseases, and even improving your brain health! Fish is good for you in a variety of ways, and it also tends to be high in calories. 1 cup of salmon, for example, is 412 calories. 1 cup of a more common fish, tuna, is 203 calories. Fish, however, is very expensive if you live in the U.S., so I would keep that in mind when planning to purchase some.
Tip: Adding lemon juice to salmon makes it taste more flavorful! If you're eating a very salty fish, you may want to eat it with bread to balance the flavors.
