Some will say to eat more fat to put weight on but that did not work for me I tried butter cream and full fat dairy which I didn't really enjoy so went back to my more moderate fat intake. I don't eat red meat sausages or bacon I don't like it but I have a lot of eggs and cheese which I love my fat is more from good oils like olive rapeseed and coconut oils, as well as olives a lot of avocados and a few nuts a day. I think you have to find what suits you and what food will help you put on weight</p></blockquote><p></p>
