“work out how to effectively put on weight ”
The Weight Gain Calculator is for people who want to increase body weight (bulk up their body). An effective weight training program is an absolutely essential adjunct to any weight gain, otherwise all calorie excess will be stored as fat.
“Explanation of the Results”
This calculator is a start point for weight gain - because of our unique makeup we all respond differently. The "Calorie Boost" option is there for those who have real trouble gaining any sort of weight (the kind of people that can eat anything but never gain). Due to the large amounts of food needed, meals must be divided into 5 or 6 per day. If you are really trying to gain then keep cardio exercise to a minimum (perhaps 2 low-intensity walks per week).
Always use this weight gain calculator as a general guideline only. For a carefully planned diet to suit all your requirements, you should see a qualified dietician, who can provide this for you.
