Good foods for weight gain? Preferably kind of bland, not fried. I need to "find" 5 pounds or I'll…

potatoes

Avocados are good fats. My doctor wants me to gain 3-4 pounds within the next month.

Thanks @iheartriley @bellahali my doc wants me to gain 5 pounds between now and next month. Like, I eat, but for whatever reason it's hard for me to pack on the pounds.

Avacados. Banana and peanut butter smoothies. Ensure is good fat and protein fir baby. They told me my son was small and to eat a lot of protein and healthy fats.

@princevince, I think I'm going to start ensure.

I found this chart online.

I'm only gained a total of 5lbs so far and i eat like all the time. but they say ensure shakes and potatoes and anything with lots of protein in it works.

Thanks everyone! I'm gonna head out to the store and find some of these good fats.

@bellahali, natural fats like avocados and nuts are more better for baby. Don't get me wrong ensure I'd good for weight gain but the natural fats are better. If you're looking to gain weight ensure is helpful. Just wanted to correct what I wrote.

So just remember when you eat. Double the protein. If you're going to make one egg have 2. At dinner 2 pork chops or more or however you eat. My husband would make a lot of meat and I would eat that with my veggie and carb. I ate healthfully and instead of grabbing junk. Grab a protein bar or granola. Yogurt or things like that. I wasn't a big junk food water. We never keep it in our house

@princevince, I'm a big junk food eater but I'm hoping to change that! I want my baby to be healthy, thank you! I used to drink ensure when I was a teenager because I was underweight. I hated it!

Ensure has been a lifesaver but it's basically been helping me maintain what I've got, not so much helping gain. (I have hyperemesis gravidarum.) I have a good med combo that's allowing me to have a better appetite, so now it's time to gain a bit. =)

The chocolate one isn't bad. They even have a one that has more protein in it. Is drink that one. I work at a hospital so I would drink them in the morning before my breakfast. I would drink that at like 7 am and eat breakfast at 9 am. I still ate McDonalds breakfast every now and then and still ate out but I always made sure I ate protein and balanced my meals. I tried to eat out once a week. Sometimes twice.

You'll do ok.

=)
