Whole grain bread

Whole grain breads are another carb source that fits into an eating plan for weight gain.

You can make some high calorie and well-balanced meals by combining bread with protein sources such as eggs, meat, and cheese.

When purchasing bread, aim for natural whole grain and seeded bread.

Sandwiches are one of the easiest, most versatile, and most portable meals for increasing your daily calorie intake. To maximize the calories, add nut butter spreads or avocado.

Try one of these sandwich recipes. You`ll find everything from the basic Reuben to wraps to several imaginative takes on the timeless grilled cheese.

You might even try sourdough bread made with whole-grain flour. For an added health benefit, the live good bacteria in sourdough bread may have health benefits, but additional research is needed in humans to confirm such an effect.
