2. Keep A Food Diary
Planning is also essential for gaining weight in a healthy way. You can do this by keeping a food diary. This will help you know what type of food you are having for different meals, to avoid excessive consumption or under eating certain foods. There is no better way of keeping track of your calories than using a diary.
It is very common for people to eat without measuring the calorie intake in the food. This is because they just estimate the food portion size. This will definitely give you the wrong results. Foods have different calorie counts and portion sizes are different depending on the type of food and calories they contain. Logically speaking, a diary will help you to keep all the calorie information. When preparing a meal, you can safely refer to your diary on the calorie count. This way you will consume the recommended amount of calories.
