Needing weight gain ideas.
![Post Post](./styles/mcd/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
My son aged 20 is incredibly skinny.
He eats a mixed diet of the healthy stuff we buy and the junkfood he pays for.
At 20 I have to let him be responsible for his own health but I'd like to continue steering him in the right direction.
Junkfood-wise he eats far less than his peers so that is less of an issue.
He takes after me in that neither of us can tolerate much dairy. We seem to have an intolerance to it. We can drink a little bit of milk in our cuppas but too much gives us a queasy stomach.
Building him up with dairy (I know we're anti-dairy here but he's not on this diet) isn't an option.
I've tried milk powder based products and he just can't stomach them.
Any thoughts on foods that are both healthy and will promote weight gain.
He really needs at least another 20 or so pounds on him, as a guesstimate.
