Нормы прибавки в весе новорожденных по месяцам в таблице – сколько теряет в весе ребенок в первые дни после рождения?

Рождение крохи, которого мама с папой ждали долгих 9 месяцев — это всегда счастье для родителей. Правда, на смену радости довольно быстро приходит беспокойство – малыш начинает терять в весе. Причем, худеть кроха начинает еще в роддоме, а потом продолжает дома. Конечно же, данная проблема не может не испугать маму.

Нужно ли переживать, и почему здоровый малыш теряет вес? Разбираемся.

От чего зависит вес ребенка при рождении — нормы веса новорожденных мальчиков и девочек

— Сколько, доктор? – спросит мама у акушерки, переживая – нормальный ли вес у рожденного чада.

Важно ли это?

Конечно, важно. От веса при рождении в немалой степени зависит будущее здоровье карапуза. Именно поэтому данные параметры врачи стараются контролировать в процессе беременности.

Нормой веса для появившихся на свет доношенных малышей считается…

• 2800-3800 г – для новорожденных девочек
• 3000-4000 г – для новорожденных мальчишек

Стоит отметить, что данные цифры важны в сочетании с параметрами роста, и врачи в данном случае используют «индекс Кетле».

От чего зависит вес новорожденного?

В первую очередь, на вес малыша влияют следующие факторы:

• Наследственность. У «тонких и хрупких» родителей, скорее всего, не родится богатырь 4-5 кг. И наоборот: у крепких высоких родителей с «широкой костью» вряд ли появится субтильный хрупкий малыш.
• Пол ребенка. Мальчуганы, как правило, более тяжелые и крупные, чем новорожденные девочки.
• Мамино здоровье. Вес крохи при рождении может оказаться недостаточным или же напротив, слишком солидным, если мама страдает сахарным диабетом или сердечнососудистыми заболеваниями, если имеет место нарушение обмена веществ, гипертония или несовместимость по резус-фактору.
• Количество малышей. Чем больше крох вынашивает мама, тем меньше будет вес каждого.
• Рацион будущей мамы. Избыток углеводов в маминой пище может стать причиной избыточного веса новорожденного. К дефициту веса приведет недостаток витаминов в питании мамы.
• Плацента. При нарушении транспортировки питательных веществ к крохе от мамы происходит отставание в развитие.
• Вредные привычки родителей (особенно, мамы). Курение, злоупотребление алкоголем и кофе ведут не только к дефициту веса и преждевременным родом, но и к нарушениям развития.
• Число беременностей мамы. При каждой последующей беременности рождается дитя более крупное, чем предыдущее.
• Здоровье плода. Различные заболевания малыша в утробе могут приводить к недостаточному (например, инфекции или гипотрофия) или же к избыточному (к примеру, синдром Дауна) весу.
• Слишком активный набор веса мамой в процессе беременности. Мамина прибавка в 15-20 кг провоцирует снижение кислородного питания малыша в утробе. Сколько кг веса должна набирать женщина за период беременности — нормы и отклонения прибавки веса беременных
• Перенашивание беременности или преждевременные роды. Недоношенное дитя будет с дефицитом веса, переношенный малыш будет весить больше нормы.

 

Потеря веса у новорожденных в роддоме в первые дни после рождения – нормы потери веса и причины

Причиной для первой послеродовой паники молодой мамы, как правило, является резкое снижение веса карапуза. Даже полнощекие здоровые херувимчики вдруг теряют вес — и изменения в параметрах, которые, вроде бы, должны расти, естественно мам пугают.

Что нужно помнить?

В первую очередь, то, что потеря веса для карапузиков в первые дни после рождения – это физиологическая особенность.

У данной потери первоначального (при рождении) веса имеется 3 степени:

• 1-я: с потерей – менее 6 процентов. Симптомы: незначительное обезвоживание, слабое беспокойство и особая жадность при кормлении.
• 2-я: с потерей – около 6-10 процентов. Симптомы: жажда, бледность кожных покровов, учащенное дыхание.
• 3-й: с потерей веса – более 10 процентов. Симптомы: сильная жажда, сухость кожи и слизистых, повышение температуры, частое сердцебиение.

Врачи роддома в течение 3-4 дней поймут, является ли потеря веса критичной — или же нормой.

Почему малыш теряет в весе после рождения?

К основным причинам относят:

• Адаптация к внеутробному миру. Для крохи жизнь вне мамы в первые дни жизни и активное сосание (вместо пассивного получения питания через маму) – это серьезная работа с серьезной нагрузкой, которая естественно ведет к потере веса.
• Усиление обмена веществ в организме малыша. И, соответственно, большой расход энергии, который также ведет к снижению веса.
• Недостаточное восполнение жидкостного баланса. Малыш самостоятельно дышит, потеет, писает, срыгивает — но при этом не получает нужного количества жидкости, потому что молоко у мамы появляется не сразу (сначала, как известно, идет молозиво). Кроме того, хорошей лактацией в первые дни редкая мама может похвастать. Важно понимать, что около 60 процентов всей потери веса – это потеря жидкости через кожу, которая будет усиливаться, если в помещении слишком сухой воздух или слишком жарко.
• Вялое сосание груди малышом в первые дни. Во-первых, кроха еще только учится кушать, во-вторых, он привыкает к новому миру, в-третьих, сосать еще нужно научиться.

Больше других в массе теряют детки…

1. С солидной массой тела.
2. Недоношенные.
3. Рожденные через кесарево сечение.
4. Рожденные при затяжных родах.
5. Получившие родовые травмы.

Каковы нормы потери веса у малышей первых дней жизни?

Как известно, средняя масса тела крохи при рождении – около 3 кг. В ситуации естественного физиологического снижения веса малыши, в большинстве случаев, теряют до 5-10% от первоначального своего веса. То есть, 150-300 г.

Причем, основная потеря приходится на 3-5 сутки после рождения, после чего постепенно вес начинает восстанавливаться к 2-м неделям жизни.

Видео: Какая потеря веса считается нормальной для новорожденного? — Доктор Комаровский:

Нормы прибавки веса новорожденных по месяцам в таблице – сколько ребенок должен прибавлять в весе до года?

Первое, что должна сделать мама после рождения крохи – это приложить чадо к груди. Чем раньше, тем лучше. Увы, предотвратить каким-либо образом потерю веса практически невозможно, но восстановление пойдет быстрее, и дефицит веса сильно не напугает, если ответственно подойти к уходу за малышом и к грудному вскармливанию.

В среднем, карапузики с момента восстановления веса начинают активно прибавлять в весе от 125-ти и до 500 г в неделю, в среднем.

Нормы прибавки веса новорожденных по месяцам в таблице:

Отклонения от норм прибавки веса новорожденных от 0 до года – на что может указывать слишком большая прибавка или её отсутствие?

Динамика прибавки в весе крохи может зависеть от различных причин. И только педиатр может сказать – оптимальным ли является данный темп прибавки? или же есть смысл покопаться в причинах его недостаточности.

Ребенок плохо прибавляет в весе – возможные причины:

• Дефицит молока у мамы – недостаточная лактация. Как повысить лактацию — все доступные методы
• Низкая жирность маминого молока. Здесь уже мамина вина – следует разнообразить рацион, кушать пищу с высокой калорийностью. Диеты в этот период недопустимы.
• Плохое усвоение пищи в организме малыша в связи с дисбактериозом или иными проблемами.
• Неграмотная организация кормления. Например, мама кормит малыша неправильно, ее отвлекают, ребенку неудобно кушать, и проч.
• Частые срыгивания. Нельзя сразу после «обеда» укладывать кроху спать – сначала следует минут 10 подержать чадо вертикально, «солдатиком», прижав к себе. Это необходимо для усвоения молока и выхода лишнего воздуха.
• Слишком строгий режим кормления. Приучать ребенка к режиму, безусловно, нужно. Но не в первые дни после выписки из роддома. Еще слишком рано, чтобы оставлять чадо без ночных «перекусов». Кроме того, не спешите отрывать дитя от груди в момент «обеда»: есть неторопливые детишки, которые сосут очень медленно, и наедаются лишь спустя минут 40.
• Кроха неправильно сосет грудь. Маме следует посоветоваться с педиатром, чтобы понять, как правильно давать ребенку сосок, чтобы сосание было полноценным.
• Развитие неврологических заболеваний. Обычно на нарушении качества кормления сказываются проблемы с координацией лицевых мышц, а также недоразвитие конкретных участков ротового аппарата.
• Инфекционное, вирусное или иное заболевание.
• Ребенку-искусственнику не подходит молочная смесь.
• Стресс. В столь юном возрасте физическим стрессом для карапузика может стать даже плавание или массаж.

Насторожиться и обратиться к врачу следует при следующих симптомах:

1. Отсутствие динамики в прибавке веса у ребенка на искусств/вскармливании при регулярном съедании положенной нормы.
2. Сухость и бледность кожи.
3. Отсутствие аппетита, плаксивость.
4. Плохой сон, беспокойство.

Причины слишком быстрого прибавления крохи в весе

Как ни странно, слишком активная прибавка в весе – это тоже не очень хорошо.

Причинами этого нарушения могут быть:

• Физиологическая особенность развития.
• Более высокие, в сравнении с нормой, показатели роста.
• Искусственное вскармливание (малыш-искусственник всегда поправляется быстрее крох на грудном вскармливании).
• Перебор в питании — смесью или грудным молоком. Перекормить чадо грудным молоком крайне сложно, но реально, если кормления по требованию, довольно частые и долгие, а заднего (более калорийного) молока больше в процентном соотношении, чем переднего.
• Плохое качество смеси.

Важно понимать, что слишком быстрый набор веса у крохи может говорить о различных заболеваниях, в том числе, о болезни щитовидной железы!

Поэтому данный вопрос оставлять без внимания нельзя, если…

1. Малыш слишком быстро поправляется, и вы сами это видите, в том числе, сравнивая его вес с таблицей норм.
2. На фоне быстрого набора веса присутствуют другие симптомы, которые вас настораживают.
3. Цвет кожи нездоровый.
4. Есть изменения в динамике росте ногтей.
5. Ребенок плаксив, настроение часто меняется.
6. Появились проблемы со стулом.
7. Цвет мочи настораживает.
8. Есть вопросы на тему соответствия психического развития ребенка нормам.

Важно также понимать, что графики и таблицы прибавок веса для новорожденных – не 100% эталон, и все данные приводятся в их усредненном виде. Если малыш бодр, хорошо спит и кушает, у него нормальный цвет кожи и мочи, регулярный стул, отличное настроение, никаких признаков заболеваний – не паникуйте.

Конечно же, обращение к врачу в случае сильного отклонения показателей веса от нормы необходимо, но паника будет лишней.

В большинстве случаев, педиатр меняет схему кормления или режима — и набор веса приходит к нормальным показателям.

90000 Newborn weight gain - what's healthy and what's not 90001 90002 Why does newborn weight gain matter? 90003 90004 Tracking your newborn's growth in height and weight over time gives your baby's doctor a good sense of your child's general health. 90005 90004 When a baby does not gain weight at a healthy rate, she may be diagnosed with a condition called failure to gain weight (or failure to thrive). This usually happens if she is not eating well or is not absorbing or using nutrients properly.It could be due to a feeding problem, a gastrointestinal issue, or some other medical condition. 90005 90004 Healthcare providers will keep a close eye on your baby's weight gain because good nutrition is crucial for your baby's mental and physical development. 90005 90004 While you're still in the hospital, a doctor or nurse will weigh your baby at birth and every 24 hours after birth. Your baby will be weighed again when you come in for your first doctor visits (usually in the first week after you leave the hospital and again when your baby is 10 to 14 days old) and at all your baby's well-child visits during the first year.These measurements are recorded on your baby's growth chart. 90005 90004 If your baby is having any health problems, including unexpected weight loss or jaundice, you may have to see the doctor more often in the first few weeks. 90005 90002 What is normal weight loss for a newborn in the first days after birth? 90003 90004 Most healthy, full-term babies lose between 5 and 10 percent of their birth weight in the first days after birth. Early weight loss happens because babies are born with extra fluid that gets eliminated after birth.This weight loss is normal and not a concern unless a baby loses more than 10 percent of his birth weight. 90005 90002 What is normal weight gain for a newborn in the first weeks after birth? 90003 90004 Babies usually start to gain weight again five to seven days after birth, and most should be back to (or above) their birth weight by about 2 weeks old. Although most babies follow this trend, about 10 percent of healthy newborns regain their birth weight more slowly over several weeks. 90005 90004 Many factors go into a baby's weight gain in those first weeks of life, including how fast your breast milk comes in and how much your baby wants to eat.For example, you may notice your baby wants to eat more often or for longer when she's between 7 and 10 days old. (When a baby wants to eat again soon after a full feeding, it's called "cluster feeding.") 90005 90002 How can I tell if my newborn is gaining enough weight? 90003 90004 Most parents do not have a scale suitable for weighing a baby at home, but luckily counting the number of your baby's dirty diapers is another good way to tell that your baby is doing fine: 90005 90028 90029 90030 Wet diapers: 90031 In the first five days, your newborn may wet only a few diapers each day.After that, expect at least four, but as many as eight, wet diapers daily. 90032 90029 90030 Poopy diapers: 90031 In the first few days, some babies may poop only once daily. After that, expect your baby to poop at least twice a day. After the first week, your baby will likely poop 10 or more times daily until the end of the first month. 90032 90037 90004 It's helpful to track diaper changes in a journal, on BabyCenter's printable baby care log, or with an app on your phone. 90005 90004 Find out more ways to tell if your baby is getting enough breast milk or formula.90005 90002 What can I do if my baby loses too much weight after birth or is not gaining enough? 90003 90004 In general, it's a good idea to check in with the doctor if you notice that your baby is not feeding well or wetting very many diapers. If you're worried about your baby's weight during the first weeks after birth, talk to your child's doctor about: 90005 90028 90029 Bringing in your baby regularly for weighing 90032 90029 Specific advice about getting your baby to eat more 90032 90029 When to call with concerns 90032 90037 90004 If you want to track your baby's weight for your own peace of mind in between doctor's visits, many lactation and new parent support centers have baby scales and will allow you to stop by and weigh your baby any time.90005.90000 How Men and Women Can Bulk Up 90001 90002 Just as exercise can help people lose weight, it can also help others gain weight in a healthy way. 90003 90002 You may want to gain weight to build muscle or if you're underweight, which means you weigh less than is healthy for your height. Not sure if you're underweight? Use this body mass index (BMI) calculator to find out. 90003 90002 Regular exercise is one of the most important steps to bulk up. But as with losing weight, gaining weight should be a part of a holistic plan.90003 90002 Here, we'll cover some exercise tips for gaining weight with minimal equipment that you can start doing right now. Then, we'll talk about how to build healthy body mass. 90003 90002 Female and male bodies store fat and distribute muscle mass differently. Focus on the exercises that give you the most promising results for your body type. 90003 90012 Pushups 90013 90002 Pushups are simple and help build muscle in your arms and shoulders. To do a pushup: 90003 90016 90017 Lie face down on the ground.90018 90017 Put your hands on the ground, palms flat, with your arms out at your sides and your hands shoulder-width apart. 90018 90017 Slowly push your body up until your arms are fully extended. Keep your back and legs straight so that your body makes a straight line. 90018 90017 Slowly lower yourself back down until your nose nearly touches the floor. 90018 90017 Repeat as many times as you feel comfortable. 90018 90027 90012 Pullups 90013 90002 You'll need some kind of pullup bar or sturdy cylindrical object to do pullups.Otherwise, this exercise is a simple way to build arm and shoulder muscles. 90003 90016 90017 Grip the pullup bar with both hands. Your palms should face away from you. Keep your arms shoulder-width apart. 90018 90017 Pull yourself up enough to hang off the bar so that your feet are not touching the ground and your arms are straight. 90018 90017 Continue to pull yourself up until your chin is above the bar. 90018 90017 Slowly lower yourself down so that your arms are straight again. 90018 90017 Repeat as many times as you want.90018 90027 90012 Squats 90013 90002 This exercise helps build muscle in your butt and legs, especially your quadriceps femoris (quads) muscles. 90003 90016 90017 Stand up straight so that your feet are hips-width distance apart. 90018 90017 Put your hands on your hips and flex your abdominal muscles. 90018 90017 Begin lowering yourself down using only your legs, as if you're about to sit down, and get into a seated position until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Keep your upper body as still as possible.90018 90017 Raise yourself back up to your original position. 90018 90017 Repeat as many times as you want. 90018 90027 90012 Lunges 90013 90002 You can do this exercise anywhere. It's great for bulking up and toning your leg and butt muscles. 90003 90016 90017 Stand up straight, flexing your abdominal muscles. 90018 90017 Extend one leg like you're taking a step, then lean forward like you're kneeling until your knees are at 90-degree angles. 90018 90017 Push back on your heel to lift yourself back up to your initial position.90018 90017 Repeat as many times as you feel comfortable on one leg. 90018 90017 Repeat for the other leg. 90018 90027 90012 Bench press 90013 90002 For this exercise, you'll need a flat bench to lie on and a weighted bar. Do not overload the bar, though, because you can injure yourself. 90003 90002 Bench presses help build shoulder, tricep, and chest muscles. This is a good exercise for bulking up. The more weight you can bench, the more muscle you'll build. 90003 90002 You may want to perform this exercise with the help of a spotter for safety.90003 90016 90017 Lie on your back on the bench. If the bench has a rack for the bar, face the bar. If there's no rack, hold the bar carefully and slowly lie backward on the bench until you're comfortable. 90018 90017 If there's a rack, grab the bar with both hands, including your thumbs. Feel free to spread your fingers a bit. 90018 90017 Extend your arms to take the bar out of the rack. 90018 90017 Slowly lower your arms to bring the bar down to your chest. 90018 90017 Slowly straighten your arms and raise the bar back toward the rack.If there's no rack, make sure you have the strength to sit back up after you're done. 90018 90017 Repeat steps 4 and 5 as many times as you feel comfortable. 90018 90027 90012 Overhead press 90013 90002 You'll need a weighted bar to perform this exercise. Overhead presses will help bulk up the muscles in your arms, shoulders, back, abs, and legs. 90003 90016 90017 Grip the bar with your hands about shoulder-width apart. 90018 90017 Lift the bar up to just above the front of your chest, even with your shoulders.90018 90017 Slowly lift the bar above you until your arms are straight. Keep your elbows locked and raise your shoulders like you're shrugging. 90018 90017 Slowly lower the bar back to shoulder height. 90018 90017 Repeat steps 3 and 4 as many times as comfortable. 90018 90027 90002 To gain weight, minimize aerobic and cardio exercises. These are meant to burn fat and tone muscle, not bulk you up. 90003 90002 You do not have to avoid them entirely, though. You can do these exercises in moderation to tone your muscles.This will help you build definition so that you can achieve the look that you want. 90003 90002 It's not hard to gain weight by eating more. But be mindful of what you eat to gain healthy weight. A diet to bulk up mainly consists of healthy fats, proteins, and complex carbohydrates that help build muscle and use fat to burn energy. 90003 90002 Try some of the following foods: 90003 90002 Take notes of what you eat in a journal or an app that tracks nutrients. It's surprisingly hard to know exactly how much you eat unless you write it down.You may find that you are not consuming enough calories or that your food choices are not nutritious enough for a healthy diet. 90003 90002 Keeping track of your habits in a journal can help you optimize your intake of healthy fats and proteins, cut out junk food, and track your calorie consumption over time. 90003 90002 Weight gain is more than eating and exercise. Here's what else you can do to make sure you get the most out of your workout without harming your body: 90003 90128 90017 90130 Get enough sleep.90131 Aim for about six to eight hours a night. 90018 90017 90130 Reduce stress. 90131 Cortisol released by stress can make you gain unhealthy weight or even lose weight again. Meditate, get a massage, or spend more time on your favorite hobbies. 90018 90017 90130 Reduce or stop bad habits. 90131 Reduce or eliminate alcohol, and try to quit smoking. This can be difficult, but a doctor can help you create a smoking cessation plan that's right for you. 90018 90017 90130 Set reasonable goals for yourself.90131 Going too hard, too fast can burn you out and do more harm than good. Start small, increase your reps each time, and record your progress. 90018 90145 90002 Talk to a doctor, nutritionist, or personal trainer about achieving a healthy weight gain. 90003 90002 A holistic approach will get you the best results. Get in reasonable and regular amounts of exercises targeted at building muscle, eat healthy fats and proteins, and build a lifestyle around rest, relaxation, and self-care. 90003.90000 How to Gain Weight Fast and Safely 90001 90002 About two thirds of people in the US are either overweight or obese (1). 90003 90002 However, there are also many people with the opposite problem of being too skinny (2). 90003 90002 This is a concern, as being underweight can be just as bad for your health as being obese. 90003 90002 Additionally, many people who are not clinically underweight still want to gain some muscle. 90003 90002 Whether you're clinically underweight or simply struggling to gain muscle weight, the main principles are the same.90003 90002 This article outlines a simple strategy to quickly gain weight - the healthy way. 90003 90002 Being underweight is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) below 18.5. This is estimated to be less than the body mass needed to sustain optimal health. 90003 90002 Conversely, over 25 is considered overweight and over 30 is considered obese. 90003 90002 Use this calculator to see where you fit on the BMI scale (opens in a new tab). 90003 90002 However, keep in mind that there are many problems with the BMI scale, which only looks at weight and height.It does not take muscle mass into account. 90003 90002 Some people are naturally very skinny but still healthy. Being underweight according to this scale does not necessarily mean that you have a health problem. 90003 90002 Being underweight is about 2-3 times more common among girls and women, compared to men. In the US, 1% of men and 2.4% of women 20 years and older are underweight (2). 90003 90026 90027 Summary 90028 Being underweight is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) below 18.5. It's much more common in women and girls. 90029 90002 Obesity is currently one of the world's biggest health problems. 90003 90002 However, being underweight may be just as bad for your health. According to one study, being underweight was associated with a 140% greater risk of early death in men, and 100% in women (3). 90003 90002 In comparison, obesity was associated with a 50% greater risk of early death, indicating that being underweight may be even worse for your health (3). 90003 90002 Another study found an increased risk of early death in underweight men, but not women, suggesting that being underweight may be worse for men (4).90003 90002 Being underweight can also impair your immune function, raise your risk of infections, lead to osteoporosis and fractures and cause fertility problems (5, 6, 7). 90003 90002 What's more, people who are underweight are much more likely to get sarcopenia (age-related muscle wasting) and may be at greater risk of dementia (8, 9). 90003 90026 90027 Summary 90028 Being underweight can be just as unhealthy as being obese - if not more. People who are underweight are at risk of osteoporosis, infections, fertility problems and early death.90029 90002 There are several medical conditions that can cause unhealthy weight loss, including: 90003 90048 90049 90027 Eating disorders: 90028 This includes anorexia nervosa, a serious mental disorder. 90052 90049 90027 Thyroid problems: 90028 Having an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can boost metabolism and cause unhealthy weight loss. 90052 90049 90027 Celiac disease: 90028 The most severe form of gluten intolerance. Most people with celiac disease do not know that they have it (10).90052 90049 90027 Diabetes: 90028 Having uncontrolled diabetes (mainly type 1) can lead to severe weight loss. 90052 90049 90027 Cancer: 90028 Cancerous tumors often burn large amounts of calories and can cause someone to lose a lot of weight. 90052 90049 90027 Infections: 90028 Certain infections can cause someone to become severely underweight. This includes parasites, tuberculosis and HIV / AIDS. 90052 90073 90002 If you're underweight, you may want to see a doctor to rule out any serious medical conditions.90003 90002 This is particularly important if you have recently started losing large amounts of weight without even trying. 90003 90026 90027 Summary 90028 There are several medical conditions that can cause unhealthy weight loss. If you're underweight, see a doctor to rule out a serious health problem. 90029 90002 If you want to gain weight, it's very important to do it right. 90003 90002 Binging on soda and donuts may help you gain weight, but it can destroy your health at the same time.90003 90002 If you're underweight, you want to gain a balanced amount of muscle mass and subcutaneous fat rather than a lot of unhealthy belly fat. 90003 90002 There are plenty of normal-weight people who get type 2 diabetes, heart disease and other health problems often associated with obesity (11). 90003 90002 Therefore, it's absolutely essential to eat healthy foods and live an overall healthy lifestyle. 90003 90002 The next chapter looks at several effective ways to gain weight fast, without ruining your health at the same time.90003 90026 90027 Summary 90028 It's very important to eat mostly healthy foods even when you're trying to gain weight. 90029 90002 The most important thing you can do to gain weight is to create a calorie surplus, meaning you eat more calories than your body needs. 90003 90002 You can determine your calorie needs using this calorie calculator. 90003 90002 If you want to gain weight slowly and steadily, aim for 300-500 calories more than you burn each day according to the calculator. 90003 90002 If you want to gain weight fast, aim for around 700-1,000 calories above your maintenance level.90003 90002 Keep in mind that calorie calculators only provide estimates. Your needs may vary by several hundred calories per day, give or take. 90003 90002 You do not need to count calories for the rest of your life, but it helps to do it for the first few days or weeks to get a feel for how many calories you're eating. There are many great tools out there to help you. 90003 90026 90027 Summary 90028 You need to eat more calories than your body burns to gain weight. Aim for 300-500 calories per day above your maintenance level for slow weight gain or 700-1,000 calories if you want to gain weight fast.90029 90002 The single most important nutrient for gaining healthy weight is protein. 90003 90002 Muscle is made of protein and without it most of those extra calories may end up as body fat. 90003 90002 Studies show that during periods of overfeeding, a high-protein diet causes many of the extra calories to be turned into muscle (12). 90003 90002 However, keep in mind that protein is a double-edged sword. It's also highly filling, which may reduce your hunger and appetite significantly, making it harder to get in enough calories (13, 14).90003 90002 If you're trying to gain weight, aim for 0.7-1 grams of protein per pound of body weight (1.5-2.2 grams of protein per kilogram). You can even go above that if your calorie intake is very high. 90003 90002 High-protein foods include meats, fish, eggs, many dairy products, legumes, nuts and others. Protein supplements like whey protein can also be useful if you struggle to get enough protein in your diet. 90003 90026 90027 Summary 90028 Protein forms the building blocks of your muscles.Eating sufficient protein is required to gain muscle weight instead of just fat. 90029 90002 Many people try restricting either carbs or fat when trying to lose weight. 90003 90002 This is a bad idea if your goal is to gain weight, as it will make it harder to get in enough calories. 90003 90002 Eat plenty of high-carb and high-fat foods if weight gain is a priority for you. It is best to eat plenty of protein, fat and carbs at each meal. 90003 90002 It is also a bad idea to do intermittent fasting.This is useful for weight loss and health improvement but can make it much harder to eat enough calories to gain weight. 90003 90002 Make sure to eat at least three meals per day and try to add in energy-dense snacks whenever possible. 90003 90026 90027 Summary 90028 To gain weight, eat at least three meals per day and make sure to include plenty of fat, carbs and protein. 90029 90002 Again, it's very important to eat mostly whole, single-ingredient foods. 90003 90002 The problem is that these foods tend to be more filling than processed junk foods, making it harder to get in enough calories.90003 90002 Using plenty of spices, sauces and condiments can help with this. The tastier your food is, the easier it is to eat a lot of it. 90003 90002 Also, try to emphasize energy-dense foods as much as possible. These are foods that contain many calories relative to their weight. 90003 90002 Here are some energy-dense foods that are perfect for gaining weight: 90003 90048 90049 90027 Nuts: 90028 Almonds, walnuts, macadamia nuts, peanuts, etc. 90052 90049 90027 Dried fruit: 90028 Raisins, dates, prunes and others.90052 90049 90027 High-fat dairy: 90028 Whole milk, full-fat yogurt, cheese, cream. 90052 90049 90027 Fats and oils: 90028 Extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil. 90052 90049 90027 Grains: 90028 Whole grains like oats and brown rice. 90052 90049 90027 Meat: 90028 Chicken, beef, pork, lamb, etc. Choose fattier cuts. 90052 90049 90027 Tubers: 90028 Potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams. 90052 90049 Dark chocolate, avocados, peanut butter, coconut milk, granola, trail mixes. 90052 90073 90002 Many of these foods are very filling, and sometimes you may need to force yourself to keep eating even if you feel full.90003 90002 It may be a good idea to avoid eating a ton of vegetables if gaining weight is a priority for you. It simply leaves less room for energy-dense foods. 90003 90002 Eating whole fruit is fine, but try to emphasize fruit that does not require too much chewing, such as bananas. 90003 90002 If you need more suggestions, consider reading this article on 18 healthy foods to gain weight fast. 90003 90026 90027 Summary 90028 You can add sauces, spices and condiments to your foods to make it easier to eat more.Base your diet on energy-dense foods as much as possible. 90029 90002 To make sure that the excess calories go to your muscles instead of just your fat cells, it's absolutely crucial to lift weights. 90003 90002 Go to a gym and lift 2-4 times per week. Lift heavy and try to increase the weights and volume over time. 90003 90002 If you're completely out of shape or new to training, consider hiring a qualified personal trainer to help you get started. 90003 90002 You may also want to consult with a doctor if you have skeletal problems or any medical issue.90003 90002 It's probably best to take it easy on the cardio for now - focus mostly on the weights. 90003 90002 Doing some cardio is fine to improve fitness and well-being, but do not do so much that you end up burning all the additional calories you're eating. 90003 90026 90027 Summary 90028 It's very important to lift heavy weights and improve your strength. This will help you gain muscle mass instead of just fat. 90029 90002 Combining a high calorie intake with heavy strength training are the two most important factors.90003 90002 That being said, there are several other strategies to gain weight even faster. 90003 90002 Here are 10 more tips to gain weight: 90003 90220 90049 Do not drink water before meals. This can fill your stomach and make it harder to get in enough calories. 90052 90049 Eat more often.

The muscle building supplement creatine monohydrate can help you gain a few pounds in muscle weight.90052 90049 Get quality sleep.

These include drinking milk, using weight gainer shakes, adding cream to your coffee and eating more often.90029 90002 It can be very difficult for some people to gain weight. 90003 90002 That's because your body has a certain setpoint of weight where it feels comfortable. 90003 90002 Whether you try to go under your setpoint (lose weight) or over it (gain weight), your body resists changes by regulating your hunger levels and metabolic rate. 90003 90002 When you eat more calories and gain weight, you can expect your body to respond by reducing your appetite and boosting your metabolism. 90003 90002 This is largely mediated by your brain, as well as weight-regulating hormones like leptin.90003 90002 So you should expect a certain level of difficulty. In some cases, you may need to force yourself to eat despite feeling stuffed. 90003 90002 At the end of the day, changing your weight is a marathon, not a sprint. It can take a long time, and you need to be consistent if you want to succeed in the long run. 90003.90000 Weight Gain During Pregnancy | Pregnancy | Maternal and Infant Health 90001 90002 What Percentage of Women Are Within Pregnancy Weight Gain Recommendations? 90003 90004 Recent studies found that only about one-third (32%) of women gained the recommended amount of weight during pregnancy and most women gained weight outside the recommendations (21% too little, 48% too much). 90005 90004 90005 90002 Percentage of Women Below, Within, and Above Pregnancy Weight Gain Recommendations 90003 90010 90004 Source діє до: 2015 National Vital Statistics System birth data.https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/births.htm. 90005 90004 For more information, please visit https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/wr/mm6540a10.htm 90014 90015 90005 90004 90005 90002 Why Is It Important to Gain the Recommended Amount of Weight During Pregnancy? 90003 90004 Gaining less than the recommended amount of weight in pregnancy is associated with delivering a baby who is too small.
