When we think of weight gain due to overeating, we think of fast food, soda, fried potatoes and sweets.

These products are actually harmful to your figure and health, so it is recommended to limit them.

At the same time, we forget that you can gain weight with proper nutrition.

What foods can make you gain weight?

Buckwheat

Many have heard about the amazing properties of buckwheat to burn fat and have a positive effect on metabolism and the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. This is true.

However, despite all the health benefits, one cannot ignore the high energy value of the cereal. If you are planning to introduce buckwheat into your diet, but do not want to gain weight, then calculate the total caloric content of the diet correctly.

Hummus

This product is in great demand among people who care about their health. Even on an industrial scale, incredibly healthy products are used in its production - legumes, sesame, olive oil, vegetables.

However, hummus is very high in calories. It is also important to remember that it is difficult to stop eating it, as the product is incredibly tasty.

Grape

Experts say grapes should be consumed with caution, as in certain cases, their consumption can lead to weight gain.

The "insidiousness" of the product is as follows: with low calorie content, grapes are a source of huge amounts of sugar. Regular consumption of grapes in large quantities will ensure a gain of extra pounds.

Sweet fruits

Many people know about the recommendation to include more fruits in the diet when losing weight, as they help cope with the craving for desserts.

However, the fruits themselves can also cause weight gain.

As with grapes, the reason is the high sugar content.

Nuts

This product is often recommended as a snack during work as it is beneficial for improving health and appearance.

But do not forget that without risk to the figure you can eat no more than 20-30 grams of the product. If you can not stop, then it is worth considering an important fact: for one hundred grams of nuts there are at least 500 kcal.

Seeds

The seeds have an incredibly rich chemical composition, thanks to which you can restore your health with their help. However, this is an extremely high-calorie and tasty product.

It is also worth remembering that raw seeds are the most useful. During heat treatment, a number of nutrients can be destroyed.
