The key to gaining weight is not eating all types of foods without really giving it much thought, but rather eating wholesome healthy foods. You can eat foods such as chicken, beef, eggs, beans, salmon, fish, turkey and nuts. These are some of the important foods which have a lot of proteins. It is also important that you drink a lot of protein shakes which can build muscles naturally. 
           
Proteins: 
Fish Protein is one of the best kinds of healthy protein that is good for gaining weight. Fresh fish can help you gain weight in a more healthy way.
Dairy products like milk, yogurt and cheese are equally beneficial for you although it is advisable that you stick to low fat dairy products.
Meat and poultry like turkey and chicken are also a good source of protein. You should similarly include Eggs, beans and lentils as well as nuts in your diet as they are also very healthy.
These fruits should be incorporated in your weight gain diet
Mangoes, pears, grapefruits, oranges, kiwis, apricots and bananas.
Grains and Vegetables for weight gain
 Whole grains are the healthiest of all grains. Try to include whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, popcorns in your daily meals.
In the same vein, Vegetables are extremely important and should be in every meal. They include things like:
  • Cabbage
  • Beans
  • Broccoli
  • Carrots
  • Lettuce
  • Spinach
  • Asparagus
  • Pumpkins
  • Eggplants
Although the right diet is very important for all people who are trying to gain weight, one thing that most men seem to ignore is exercise. Most men associate exercise with losing weight so they try to avoid exercising when they are trying to gain weight .You particularly need to make sure that you exercise if you want to gain muscly body shape. Remember that the healthy diet will always give you the healthy weight gain as well as quality muscles.

Sudden weight gain

It is plain that eating a large amount of fried food, candies and drinking sweetened fizzy and alcoholic drinks add tons of calories and fat grams to meals.
At a most basic level, fried foods are unhealthy because they tend to be very high in fat and calories. For example, a large baked potato contains 220 calories and less than 1 g of fat. But, if you take that same potato and turn it into French fries, you end up with nearly 700 calories and a whopping 34 g of fat.

Extra calories may not be the only cause of weight gain.

         It's clear enough that a diet based on eating fried foods in huge amounts and drinking sugary fizzy drinks or alcoholic ones will eventually result in weight gain. However the question which arises how do you explain weight gain when your lifestyle includes regular exercise and a controlled healthy diet? Some people are going nuts, simply because despite the highly strict measurement they take to control their weight, the scale keeps going up.
A few things should be kept in mind if you are gaining weight while watching your food and doing your exercises regularly. There is a high likeliness that many things interact to lead to the weight gain.

Sleepless night might be one cause of weight gain
A sane person would not believe that lack of sleep would lead to weight gain. However, people deprived of sleep need more calories to stay awake " in response to these needs, but they eat more than they really need to, which leads to weight gain “says Kenneth Wright, lead author of the report and director of the University of Colorado Sleep and Chronobiology Laboratory.
Correspondingly, the body functions best when well rested. “a few days of sleep deprivation leads to physiological changes in the brain and behavioral changes that lead people to eat more.," says Kenneth Wright.

When you're tired, you also can’t handle stress, so you may postpone all your meals until the nightfall. Furthermore you may tend to eat at later time and, so to speak, eat all the meals at once. Some people think that eating heavy calories-dense snacks might help make up for the lost sleeping hours.Nevertheless, what all these snacks do is merely add more calories.
