Eating calorie dense foods thinking that it would lead to weight gain is not correct. You must:-
a) Set your metabolism levels right by following a strict dietary regime and setting your body clock right
b) Include foods that are nutrient as well as calorie dense
c) Include protein dense foods to build muscle mass
Next Steps
Include things like almond and banana shake in your diet, add dates to it. Add roasted sesame seeds to your vegetables. Lean meats are higher in protein and low in fat. For more action points, you can contact me on direct consult.
