How to quickly gain weight

I am so lean and thin that my friends make fun of me. Kindly let me know how I can gain weight quickly.

Weight gain is a journey, which is exciting if you are disciplined, and one that’s all about balance. If you’re looking to add some healthy kilos, you can eat foods that are high in calories but still nutritious, yam, rice, bread, nuts, seeds, avocados, and dairy products.

You can also try eating more often—smaller, more frequent meals can help you get the extra calories you need. Occasional intake of fatty foods such as fried and fast foods as well as olive oil, coconut oil, and butter can also boost your weight gain.

However, it is important to note that what is important is not weight but the need to stay good and healthy. In addition, stay away from haters and negativity.
