i would eat pizza

For me it would be baked goods (cake, cookies), mashed potatoes, and cheese.

I've eaten to deliberately gain weight. I ate healthy fatty foods like nuts, and used full-fat (canola-based) salad dressing instead of light dressing. Also, I reduced my work-outs a little, too.

I would eat ice cream every single night b4 bed - chocolate chip mint of course. Pad Thai noodles with shrimp for dinner every other day, burgers and fries when Im not eating Pad Thai OH and a Mcdonalds McGriddles breakfast sandwich for breasfast every morning. (coca cola as my beverage, of course)

Whew, I think I'd gain the 10 lbs in one day if I ate all as a three course meal.

I'd eat ice cream! That and lasagna...I think I could gain weight pretty quickly eating those things. I'm actually trying to gain weight right now and honestly, I'm not eating those things. I'm eating nuts, full-fat salad dressings, and more cheese. I know, it's not as fun as eating the ice cream, but it's putting the weight on slowly and I know it's probably healthier than just eating a bunch of crap.

I would eat plates and plates of french fries with LOTS of ketchup and Tabasco sauce! YUMMMMM

I actually had to gain weight in advance of having jaw surgery. Although weight gain over time has unfortunately come fairly easily, gaining 10 pounds in 2 months was oddly difficult. I ate a bunch of candy and junk food. The best thing was ice cream cake. You can gain a lot of weight by just eating a whole ice cream cake.

Pizza (sbarro meat lovers for me!), french fries, Kettle Chips Salt and Black Pepper flavor dipped in greek yogurt, tons of hummus and pita, bread sticks (that fat warm ones that you dip in marina), donuts, cupcakes, cake!

Oh god, I'm so glad I'm not on my period right now or I'd be running to the store.

ice cream and pizza. mixed together, and lots of white rice and avocados!

I would eat carne asada nachos, fries, cheesecake, noodles and burgers.

French fries!!!! Burritos!!! PIZZA!!!

muskeeter bars...starbucks and pizza

What to eat? Hmmm...I would say a large cut of meat (flank steak!), a large serving of rice or pasta (alfredo!) and veggies with mozorella on top. Every dinner meal. I would eat an omlette and hashbrowns with toast every day for breakfast. I would get a HUGE smoothie from Jamba and a bagel with tuna salad for lunch. Well rounded, larger portions of food.

Dang! This made me HUNGRY. I wish I had to gain weight. As it is I'm down 50 and still have 60 to go! BOO.

lots of pasta dishes, ice cream, brownies, pancakes

Jif peanut butter by the spoonfull
cookie dough

Pizza, french fries, bread and butter

Tamales, tamales, tamales

French toast and bacon for breakfast!

I'd fill up the rest of the day with mexican food (maragritas too of course!) and cupcakes with loads of chocolate frosting!

I need tips on gaining weight healthily besides stuffing my face silly with junk food and ice cream. Right now I'm standing at 34kg and I'm 5 ft 3. I wanna put on at least 6 more kg. Any tips?

cutupangels - you need carbohydrates, not ice cream. If you eat fatty foods then that doesn't necessarily mean they will make you fat for certain!

You need proteins and complex carbohydrates in your body if you want to gain weight.

pizza, pasta, chocolate kreme donuts with super fattening Dunkin Donuts coffee.....over and over and over!

I actually had to gain over fifteen pounds to get to a healthy weight before...I did it eating healthily, because DUH, the goal was to get HEALTHY. I ate 6 mini-meals of healthy stuff a day.

I drank those Bolthouse Farms mocha protein drink thingies...and I added a sweet potato to my supper of grilled chicken, brown rice, and vegetables or whatever, because I love 'em to fricken death.

A mix of salty (French fries), sweet (cannolis and Napoleons come to mind right now), and ethnic cuisine (Italian and Mexican come on top!)

I must say, this is a very good question actually.

Oh my gosh. If health were NO object, I would be all over cookie cake and ice cream cake like white on rice.

Oh, and Milky Way bars. Man, I miss those.

Hmm.. all these suggestions sound delicious but are not very vegan! So, as a vegan, if health were NO option, I would drink beer and eat chips and fries all day long. Fries with vinegar and mustard..oh, and all kinds of fried vegetables. But really, just talking about it makes me kind of sick, so I guess I've trained myself well!

I'm currently in this situation, except it is no longer 10 pounds. Now it's more like five.

This seems like a fun idea until you actually have to deal with it. It sucks. Try gaining weight in a society that's obsessed with losing. You think it'd be fun to eat a huge, fatty, delicious meal three times a day until you have to do it, and notice the way people look at you and the reputation you get. You think it'd be nice to not workout so much until you simply can't, and have to watch everyone else running off to the gym while you shove another spoonful of peanut butter down your throat...

Ok, done ranting. I've simply eaten more. I didn't used to eat cheese or a lot of meat, and now I do. Instead of three decent-sized meals, I eat five decent-sized meals. More carbs and fat, basically.

Stick with healthy foods unless you want to feel blah as you gain weight. Increase your portion sizes, maybe use dinner plates instead of luncheon plates and/or have seconds. Eat lots of pasta, potatoes, and breads. Don't shy away from fatty foods (like meat, eggs, avocados, cheese, light oils) but avoid trans fats like always. Have dessert every day. Snack between meals. If you usually drink water, substitute juice.

If you normally do a lot of cardio, ease off on that and do weight training instead.

Remember that 1 pound = 3500 Calories, so if you want to gain 1 pound a week, you need to eat an extra 500 Calories a day. That's actually not very much - about the same as a large serving of fries.

OMG this would be fun! I would eat pizza, pasta and ice cream and I would eat them even when I'm about to go to bed.

Peanut butter!
Lots & lots of it!

Banana Fosters Cheesecake!

Pancakes!

Chorizo & eggs with extra cheese & salsa!

Cheese Steaks with sweet peppers & grilled onions!

Ack! I'm getting hungry!

Hands down.. Potato Chips. I havent had any in YEARSSSSSSS!!

bread and fries

Oh the joy!

Bread and butter.

Avocados.

Dark chocolate.

Pizza.

Creamy curries.

Slurp!

All of the chocolate bon bons I could handle

Spoons n' spoons of peanut butter

Chocolate cake batter by the spoon

Bread full of melted cheddar cheese on top

Cream cheese on top of EVERYTHING

For breakfast a cream cheese bagel with a plate of fried bacon, along with a vanilla milkshake full of chocolate sauce.

For lunch, a nice big fried steak with beans and rice on the side, along with french fies full of ketchup.

For a snack always eat peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips and a tall glass of full cream milk.

Dinner would be Lasagna full of mozzarella, Feta, Cheddar and oily marinara sauce with bacon bits and ground beef.

My bed time snack would be oatmeal made with condensed milk full of nuts and raisins.

...and as my drink through out the day, a nice cold glass of coke.

HEAVEN

Well if I needed to gain weight I would go about it in a healthy way. I'd rather gain it in a healthy way than just saturated fat and such.

On a non healthy level just for fun, I would probably eat french fries, fried dough, lots of Reeses, ice cream and so much more.

If I wanted to gain weight, I'd eat more carbs...I love bread products and pasta...I also love cheese, so I'd eat plenty of that! I don't have a big sweet-tooth, but I love cheesecake and key lime pie, so I would also indulge in those treats

Ice cream and cake...everyday! Only in a perfect world, right?

cheshire, you made me hungry! Now I want Chorizo & eggs, but my Abuela makes it much better and she lives too far away.

I'd eat Dates, Oranges and Young thai Coconuts. And macadamia nuts. OMGGG

comfort foods: pizza, spaghetti, ice cream, DONUTS, milkshakes ,french fries

oh baby.

MACARONI AND CHEESE!!!

Also:
- potato bread toast with butter
- lots of peanut butter
- fresh mozarella drenched in olive oil and fresh basil
- shrimp pad thai (yummmmm)
- lots of sugary/fruity alcohol drinks

Eat more healthy fat like olive oil and avocado.

I would also have high fat ice cream and cheesecake. anything that is high fat and calorie dense and maybe has some nutrients in it like peanut butter and walnuts and macadamia nuts.

I would gain the weight like sumo wrestlers do, and not screw with my insulin levels with candy and stuff like that.

The show "science of obesity " shows that eating good high calorie food packs on the pounds subcutaneously instead of intraabdominally which is bad for your organs.

hmmm eat anything that comes to mind!
I used to be addicted to nutty chocolate energy bars they were around 200 cals each and they made me gain weight pretty quick when I had exams...

milkshakes!!

great that that this topic came up since there are no post (since i started reading) about healthy weight gain. i have a lot of friends who struggle from this problem, they're stick-thin and eat like pigs and still nothing, they can't get a nice ass to fill their jeans.

i'd eat pizzas, ice-cream and mcdonalds for a week and probably would gain those 10lbs. and of course skittles chocolate and chocolate mouse...

and some home made hot-dogs and hamburgers... everything that i don't allow myself to eat... and cheese-cakes!

anything and everything that consisted of potatos and cheese. Potatos Au Gratin, mashed potatos, cheesy potatos, cheese fries

Chicken wings and chips! And smother butter on everything!

Wow, where do i start?.... I would say: Pastries of all sorts. Ice-cream. My fav is haagen daz dulce de leche. Bagels with cream cheese. Fetuccini alfredo. Baked Potato with all the topings!.........and on and on.....
