ADVICE NEEDED! Do you think this is a good weight-gain plan?
Hey friends,
Just joined this forum since it seems like everyone knows what they're talking about. I'm 19, 5'7'', weight around 35-40 kgs, and waist is 28! As you can see, very skinny. I had this problem all my life, but I want to change that.
Well, I'm thinking of following the meal plan below...
6 loafs of white bread with butter (120 kcal)
1 boiled egg (50 kcal appx)
Rice 4 times a day (500 kcal appx)
Meat every other day, beef or chicken (300 kcal appx, so 150 kcal per day)
2 bananas (100 kcal appx)
Chocolate-nut biscuits (100 kcal appx)
Cashews and almonds (100 kcal appx)
Noodles (200 kcal appx)
Baked chips (200 kcal appx)
2 potatoes (100 kcal appx)
I'll try to eat the above things daily, eating after every 2 - 2.5 hours, and drink around 4 - 5 liters of water. I may also have some vegetables and other things. Targeting 2000 + kcal per day.
Do you think this will make me gain weight? If yes, how long will it take?
Also, is 2000 kcal low, should I raise the limit? Any other advice?
(I plan to do push-ups for now every other day (since I've heard doing it everyday may cause over-training), but not hit the gym for now)
Thanks!

Yes , this is good diet plan .
BUt the weight should be gained by some exercise or any exercise is way better.
If you are thinking to gain weight by only eating , this will grow your tummy larger, to avoid this try to do little more exercise so that you r whole body will get muscles and it will look good !!
so try swimming and weight lifting exercise it is very good for you !!
