Hello! My name is Wintana and I’m looking for those who are on a weight gain journey as well. I am aiming to gain 30 pounds by the end of this year!

    May I ask why? 30 pounds is a quite a bit.

    @jpo61592 she might be severely underweight. I gained almost 40 within a year, but I needed it.

    If that isn't the case OP, take it slow. 0.5 pounds a week is good. Best of luck to you!

    Oh well in that case I'd recommend an additional 250-500 calories above your daily total each day.
