Hey there
I'm sort of in the same position as you, as i need to gain some weight!. I visited with a nutritionist and she gave me some really good tips on how to sneak in extra calories!. One of the best foods to eat is nuts, because they are really calorie dense (and they are yummy, especially since you like salt!) Also, try adding cheese to every meal, whether it be a slice of cheese on your hamburger or some sprinkled on a salad!. Also, if you eat dairy products (milk, yogurt, cottage cheese) try getting the higher percent milkfat!. Other healthy fats include oils (olive is best) and avocado!. If you find it easier to consume liquid calories, they sell many different drinks like Boost and Ensure, and you can even make smoothies by blending them with fruit, ice cream or yogurt, and ice!.
As you are working on gaining a few pounds, you might also want to try lifting some weights to build muscle mass!. A little bit of toned muscle will bulk you up a little!.
Good luck and i hope everything goes well for you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
