10 "healthy" dishes guaranteed to help you gain weight

28 Nov, 2012
1. Tofu

1. Tofu

Dishes where the base ingredient is tofu is healthy to start with. In order to add the "fat" element the other complimenting ingredients such as flavorful and rich textured sauces should be considered.
2. Salads

2. Salads

Commonly known as a healthy food choice, the sauces, croutons, nuts, shredded cheeses added can make the meal a fatty one. Globs of rich dressing choices and vinaigrettes can not only enhance the taste but also add to the fats.
3. Microwave meals

3. Microwave meals

Are another great way to a balanced meal, yet have the fat element thrown in. With the high calorie rich fat choices available, these meals make an ideal fat intake regiment.
4. Juice

4. Juice

Regular juices are high in sugar content either as an additive to enhance the flavor or as part of the natural fruit content. A cup or two of concentrated juice will give you enough carbohydrates to building up your fat intake.
5. Burgers

5. Burgers

Some people choose veggie burgers over meat patties with the notion that these are a healthier and less calorie option. However, the cheeses and spreads that go into the makeup of the burger can help you gain the extra fat needed, while still staying healthy.
6. Wraps

6. Wraps

Wraps have long been accepted, as a healthy alternative to other more starchy food items. However because the surface area of a wrap is larger than that of a slice of bread, adding mayo and other rich dressing choices can help to add on the fat element.
7. Milk

7. Milk

Having a glass or two of full cream milk will not only help build healthy bones but will also help you gain the healthy fats needed to add on that little extra weight. Taking hot beverages with a few spoonful of milk will also do the trick quite well.
8. Bran muffins

8. Bran muffins

Keeping it healthy and at the same time adding some extra ingredients that will create the fat factor is a great way to snack. The sugar and butter in a muffin will help to give you about 20 grams of fat.
9. Granola bars

9. Granola bars

Another healthy food item, but the twist here, is to choose ones that have sugar and healthy oil additives. The added ingredients of sugar and healthy oils, contain about 500 calories per bowl serving, adequately addressing your fat needs.
10. Dried fruits

10. Dried fruits

Fruits in any form are considered healthier options when it comes to satisfying hunger pangs. Choosing dried fruit over fresh, will give you about five times more calories per serving.
