6. What are the best ways to gain weight?

I know everyone will say "I wish I had to gain weight.." but
gaining weight (LBM) is a goal for a lot of people.

To gain weight you need to consume more calories than you burn up.
To do it efficiently, and to make the weight muscle, not FAT, you'll
need to start a weight training program. You want the weight to be
muscle, not FAT. To do this you'll need to slowly increase your
