Top 5 Breakfast Foods for Gaining Weight

1. Eggs have a large amount of high quality protein. They can be prepared in many different ways (some healthier than others - boiling versus frying) to satisfy just about anyone.

2. Juices are easy to drink even if you're full. They're a good way to add calories to any meal. You should check the nutrition label to see if what you're drinking is fruit flavored high fructose corn syrup or real fruit juice which will also supply you with the vitamins and minerals you need.

3. Oatmeal is made up of complex carbohydrates. These carbs will give you a steady supply of energy so you can workout or just work. They are loaded with nutrients too.

4. Bread alone is bland but if you butter (vegetable based spread) it up and eat it with another breakfast item, it is a good addition to your morning. Use whole wheat bread to get even more health benefits such as fiber, vitamins and minerals.

5. Shakes are high in flavor, calories and protein. Like other drinks, they're fairly easy to take down even if you're full. They're a great way to add calories to your breakfast or any other meal.
