Any tips on how to gain weight the healthy way?

Hi, try searching on Youtube for dieting for muscle gain; most reputable channel I can recommend is Dr. Mike from Renaissance Periodization (RP). "But I don't wanna look bulky or add muscle, just gain weight." That is the healthy outcome of weight gain. What's the alternative? Gaining fat. Plus, anyone worrying about looking too muscular is at no risk of gaining that much muscle.

To gain mass healthily (i.e. gain muscle w/o too much fat), the #1 requirement is to be at a calorie surplus (duh). To make sure that's not all fat, you must do resistance training. No getting around that either, sorry. It can be bodyweight, gymnastics, etc. but the tried & true, beginner friendly way is by lifting weights. So next tip is to either get a gym membership or start investing in a home gym. RP also has great content for beginners looking to gain muscle, but the best resource for a complete newbie IMO is the r/Fitness wiki. Perfect starting routines for beginners plus an overview of the basics.

The most important part about training is progressive overload i.e. lift more weight, reps, sets, etc. than last time. A good lifting program (like those from the wiki) get you there, but your body needs fuel to grow. Ideally, the extra calories come from more healthy food like whole grains, lean meats, fruits, veggies, etc. That's tip #3: eat more, responsibly.

Honestly, those 3 tips alone will probably get you to your goals, whatever they are. Everything else has like <10% impact at best. Just eat more, responsibly, while lifting heavy ass weights that get heavier over time, and any skinny guy (or girl) will fill their frame out appealingly without becoming a blob.

The 3 levels of diet.

This uses food as an evolutionary tool, a way to play with the possibilities of what a particular diet can do for the body. On an experimental diet, we are the scientists of our own physiology, asking questions such as, “What would happen if I ate these particular foods? How would it affect my body, health, energy levels, work output and ability to think?” Any foods that have unproven effects or that we’ve never used before present an opportunity to explore the unknown, to bring an exciting sense of newness and discovery to our diet. Whether we’re trying different supplements or considering going vegan, the experimental approach helps to inoculate us against the viral belief that there is one right way for everyone to eat.
