You are sure to find many articles that provide information on how to

getting fat in Nigeria. This article provides you with information on

how to truly gain weight.

The first thing is to know if you truly need to gain that weight. You

calculate this through what is called BMI (Body mass index). It is

very simple.



BMI = Weight in kg/Height sq m²



It is good to calculate your body mass index so as to make sure your

weight is up to or not up to the adopted standards. Calculating body

mass index is very easy by using the following formula:





(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Bodyweight (kg) / height (m). This means your weight in kilograms

divided by your height in square meters.



For example, if your body weight is 52 kg and your height is 160 cm:

52 divided by (1,60²) = 20,31.



This is still an appropriate weight.

Underweight = <18.5



Normal = 18.5 â€" 24.9



According to the BMI standard chart, 18 is the bottom limit of the

â€Ĺ“norm†while normal weight is when BMI is 19,5. If you are below

18, then this article is really for you. You should only consider

gaining weight if you are less than 18.5.



The key to gaining weight is consuming more fats and calories than you

burn. It is simple, let us show you how:

How much calories should an individual eat daily?



If it were a weight loss you are seeking to achieve, you must seek for

ways to sustain a calorie deficit. In order to maintain your weight,

you must match your calorie intake to your calorie needs. An adult

male needs up to 2,000 calories daily while a female needs 1,800

calories a day just to maintain his or her weight. However, in reality

this calculation depends on the calculation of your body mass index

which consists of your height, weight, gender, and activity levels. To

lose weight you must create a calorie deficit of about 500 calories

through exercise routines or reducing food intake.



So, an adult male needs 2,000 daily calorie intake minus 500 calories

deficit through intensive exercise or meal portion reduction = 1,500

calories for that day.

Let us apply this to a gain weight formula:

All you need to gain weight is to add 500 Calories to your daily diet.



If after checking your BMI and you find out you are underweight (below

18.5), then you need to eat at least 40 calories per kilogram of your

weight daily so you can gain weight. Sometimes, you may even increase

it to 50 -60 calories per Kg.



Now, let us use a simple illustration example to help us calculate how

many calories you need to eat per day.



With the example used earlier, if your weight is 52 kg, then the total

number of calories you need daily is (52 kg x 40 calories = 2080).

Then, 2080 calories is the minimum number of calories you should

consume per day in order to gain some weight.



Factors that have been preventing you from gaining weight

Insufficient or bad food

Diseases of the thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism)

Disruption of the pancreas

Deterioration of the adrenal glands

Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract

Stress and depression

Parasites

Genetic predisposition

Spinal curvature.



How to get fat in Nigeria



Include nutritious food in your diet



A well balanced and nutritious meal is very essential for your health.

If you want to become fatter, your diet must consist of healthy food.

In order to add about 1-2 kg per week, you must be religious with your

diet and not skip meals.



Consume high-calorie foods for weight gain



You have to increase total calories intake by 500 to 1000 calories a

day. However, the total number of calories you need daily depends on

your level of activity, lifestyle, initial weight.



Eat more often



Try to eat as much as five to six times daily with 2-3 snacks in

between your three regular meals.



Increase your protein intake



Include rich proteins into your diet. Such meals include meat,

seafood, dairy products, and nuts. You can also add protein shakes and

drink them through 1.5-2 hours after you have eaten.



Protein shake recipe



Frozen banana



One tablespoon of peanut butter



A glass of milk



A few ice cubes



Honey (optional)



Drink milk 3 to 4 times daily



Milk is a great product for weight gain, especially whole milk.

Ensure, you drink it regularly and it is whole milk (milk in its most

unadulterated form).



Eat the right food



Eat foods such as slow carbs, which are found in fruits, vegetables

and whole grains. Slow carbs are rich in fiber and are great for

weight gain. You should also include carbohydrates such as pasta,

whole wheat bread, brown rice and bread. With this in your diet, you

will quickly gain weight and in addition, provide your body with the

necessary energy.



Increase the amount of unsaturated fats in your diet



This will help you to gain weight extremely quickly. Unsaturated fats

can be found in fish, walnuts, avocado, and olive oil.



Ensure your snack healthy about 2-3 times daily



Healthy snacks include almonds, peanuts, dried fruits which you can

take to school or work. Before bed, you can make sandwiches and take

with warm milk.



Exercise daily



Exercising is important if you want to gain weight. This will help you

build muscles. When you work out in the gym, your figure will look

excellent.



Other tips to gaining weight in Nigeria include:

Eat a definite portion of food at the exact number of times per day



Include a definite ratio of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in your diet



Note: Gaining weight has nothing to do with eating foods that are high

in sugar or fats. You risk diseases such as heart disease and diabetes

with wrong dietary choices.
