How to Gain Weight?

You can create or update a weight gain plan in the Weight Goal & Plan > Weight & Calories section. To begin, enter a target weight that is higher than your current weight, and then choose either a target date or a weekly weight gain rate.

The app will automatically calculate a calorie budget for you. This budget will be higher than your Weight Maintenance Calories, as it includes the additional calories needed to support healthy weight gain. Note: For health and safety, most dietitians recommend limiting weight gain to no more than 1 pound per week. Gaining weight too quickly can lead to excess fat gain and digestive discomfort.

If you have a subscription, you'll also gain access to the High-Protein Diet setup, which can support your weight gain goals with optimized macronutrient targets.
