Trying to gain weight, should I avoid chocolate?

DanTheMan91

Hey health people, I am 19 years old and I weigh just under 10 stone, I am currently trying to gain weight, I am eating more high protein foods, and just good food in general, but I was wondering should I completely avoid sweets, chocolates and biscuits? I already cut soda, and fizzy drinks from my diet, now I just drink milk and water, should I do the same and stop eating chocolate?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Definately ditch the sugary processed sweets and biscuits. Nothing wrong with some good quality dark chocolate (over 70% cocoa). you get used to it not tasting as sweet as milk chocolate and a little bit goes a long way.

If you feel like you're depriving yourself, you probably will give in at some stage. As for gaining weight, full-fat milk and nuts are high in calories and good for you.

Thanks for your advice.

I'm in the same boat as the OP more or less, however I'm allergic to nuts. Is there any other healthy snack that's high in protein?

Hard boiled eggs, eat as much as you want.
