Get tips to help you gain weight and manage your health

Your body works best at a healthy weight. Being underweight can lead to frequent illness, fatigue, hair loss, anemia, and osteoporosis.1
Tips to help you gain weight:

1. Eat extra nutritious, calorie-dense snacks throughout the day.

2. Fill up on protein first and save your vegetables for last.

3. Avoid water before eating so you have room for your meal.

4. Pick bigger plates,
as using small plates can cause you to eat less.

5. Drink calorie-dense liquids like oral nutritional supplements.

6. Have a discussion with a registered dietitian or your healthcare professional.
