Stick to Your Set Meal Schedule

Many nutritionists suggest eating at least six times a day to gain weight, scheduling three major meals interspersed with snacks. It can take some time to get into the habit of eating all day long, but your body will soon adapt.

Try not to miss any one of your meals, and make sure each contains at least 500 calories. Snacks should weigh in at 100 to 200 calories each.

If you’re not sure where to squeeze more food into your day, try adding in a morning snack a couple of hours after breakfast, and a nighttime snack sometime after dinner. You’re probably a bit more relaxed at these points, and can spare some time and energy for an extra bite to eat.
