How to Gain Weight Without Fat — Dietitians Tips

Gaining weight while staying in shape is possible! The main thing is to do it right. Dietitian Anna Levina explains.

🎯 The goal is not just weight, but body quality

Our task is not to gain "any" mass, but to improve body composition: more muscle, less fat. This approach helps you look athletic and feel energetic.


🍽️ More calories - but only "clean" ones

To gain weight, you need to eat more. But not fast food and sweets, rather calorie-dense but healthy foods:

  • Grains (oatmeal, buckwheat, quinoa)

  • Nuts, avocado, olive oil

  • Meat, fish, eggs, legumes

Increase your diet by 300-500 calories per day - and your body will start to grow.


💪 Protein - your builder

To gain muscle mass, not fat, you need to eat protein:

1.6-2.2 grams per 1 kg of body weight per day.

Best sources: chicken breast, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, protein shakes.


🏋️‍♂️ No way without workouts

Muscles only grow under load. Start with basic exercises:

squats, bench press, pull-ups, deadlifts.

3-4 workouts per week - and the results won't keep you waiting.


⏱️ Everything under control

The ideal pace for gaining mass is 300-600 g per week.

More than that risks gaining fat. Weigh yourself once a week and track your progress.


🌙 Sleep, water and calmness

Healthy sleep, clean water and minimal stress are just as important as nutrition and workouts. Hormones responsible for growth are active during these times.


💡 Conclusion

Weight gain is not about "eating more," but about a smart approach to nutrition and training. Start with small steps, and your body will reward you with strength and energy.
