Answers:
Yes, nuts and peanut butter are great sources of healthy fats, they contain monounsaturated fats which are good for you!. They are also very calorific, so you don't feel as if you are eating too much!. Some other foods with healthy fats are avocados, olive oil, lean meats like chicken breast, cheese, and yogurts!. Just try adding little things here and there, like some shredded cheese to salad, a slice of avocado to your sandwich, or try cooking veggies in olive oil!. If you find it hard to eat more, you might want to check out drinks made specifically for weight gain, such as Ensure of Boost!. Each 8oz bottle has about 350 calories and is packed with nutrients, plus they taste good too!. Just drink 2 of these a day in addition to your regualr meals, and you should have no problem gaining that 5lbs!.

You might also want to try strength training!. Try to lift 3-4 times a week, ideally on alternate days!. This will help tone you, and muscle weighs more than fat!.

Good luck to you!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Eat more protein!. This will increase your muscle mass, especially if u weight train!. Do not eat junk food to try to gain weight--u will gain weight but it will be fat!. Go for lean steak, chicken breasts, or best of all protein shakes!. Protein powders are fairly inexpensive, and convenient!. You will be able to gain 5lbs--most of it will be muscle mass!.
