Calorie Journal

One of the best ways to gain weight is to keep a notebook or a journal where you keep track of what you eat and how many calories you are ingesting. If you do this for about a month, you will get a good handle on how much you are actually eating and what the right number of calories is for you to achieve your weight gain goals. Documenting your diet and caloric intake will also help your doctor, if you are under the care of a physician, to consult with you about nutrition and your diet so you can continue gaining weight at the optimal speed and in the most healthy manner.
