How many calories does it take to gain a kilo?
To lose/gain 1 pound of fat, you will require approximately 3,500 calories.So if you apply simple math.Fats: 9g / calProteins: 4g / cal1 pound of fats = 3,500 calories1 pound of protein = (3,500 / 9 ) * 4 = 1,555 = 1,600 calories approximatelySince muscles are mostly made up of proteins, it is safe to assume that protein requires 4g/cal.Hence, to gain 1 pound of lean muscle mass, you will have to consume approximately 1,600 calories. Since 1 kg = 2.2 pounds, to gain 1 kg of weight (lean muscle mass), you will have to consume approximately 3,500 calories. Definitely, this is just an estimate as your weight gain might not be entirely muscle mass gain.Of course, it does not mean you should consume a calories surplus of 3,500 calories at one shot. Doing so will most likely make you gain fats instead. A safe guideline to healthy weight gain is 1–2 pounds per week (0.5–1 kg) per week.If you wish to know in details how to calculate effective mass gain, check out the article below:SevenFitness - The Easy Guide to Mass Gaining with Calories Calculation

Does it help to eat boiled potatoes daily if I want to gain weight?
Yes, 100%.So many people are misinformed here.Carbs don’t make you fat… eating beyond your daily requirement makes you fat. You can eat ZERO carbs and still gain weight, and you can eat 100% carbs and still lose weight.The only thing that matters is = does it fit your daily calculation?Now, here are the awesome things potatoes have to give us…1) Potatoes are an EXCELLENT food source for gaining weight if… see point 2. One medium potato packs about 150–160 calories, with 37gms carbs, 4gm protein with almost negligible fats, and a FANTASTIC potassium, fiber, vit b-6 and vit C source.2) It makes sense to eat potatoes IF it fits your macros, meaning if you are still eating as per your target macro ratio, definitely eat them!3) If you are trying to gain muscular weight, DEFINITELY go for potatoes, but also supplement with a protein source like whey, eggs or chicken.In the end, just one thing matters, does it fit your daily macro and calorie goals? That will answer all “can i eat this?” questions in the future…
Eat 1000 calories a day and burn 500?
I'm 15 years old, 5', and 145 lbs. My goal is to lose about 35 pounds, with a loss of 2lbs per week. My BMR is around 1500, so does this mean I should eat 1,000 calories a week and burn 500 off in order to lose 2lbs a week? I want to do it the healthy way but that just doesn't seem that healthy. Please let me know what I should do. Thanks! Jenna
Is a boiled potato good to eat at night for weight loss?
Plain potatoes, whether white or sweet, are fat-free, rich in nutrients, and low in calories; they make a good addition to any weight-loss diet. A 3.3-ounce baked white potato, which is about a 1/2-cup serving, has 94 calories, 21 grams of carbs, 2 grams of protein and 2 grams of fiber. It's also a good source of vitamin C, potassium, folate and vitamin B-6, meeting more than 10 percent of the daily value per serving.more health related blogsTurmeric as the Natural Pain KillerObesity: Causes and Solutions10 Health Benefits of Green Tea
Does anyone know a good way to make potato wedges please?
Here's what I do and it really works for me. Go buy a bag of that fine polenta/corn meal. get dried herbs that you like, say thyme, oregano, some smoked paprika, fresh ground black pepper, chili powder, chili flakes, whatever. I get a jar, large enough to hold 2 cups of polenta at least, add the herbs/spices you like and shake well. (you can keep what you don't use in the jar) All you do then is cut your unpeeled (the washed kind) or peeled potatoes into wedges, get a plastic bag and put in say half a cup (ish) of the polenta mix, add your wedges, not too many, shake and put on a baking tray that has been very lightly oiled or use baking paper, the juice of the potato makes the polenta spice mix stick naturally, repeat adding more of your polenta mix depending on how many wedges you are doing, you can also add some crushed garlic to your bag at this stage. I don't add salt as I salt them when they come out of the oven. I find that this is so simple, really tasty, low fat, low salt and you can literally put any dry flavours you like in your jar, I've even used curry powder, depends on how you feel on the day. I really hate the salty mixes too, and you don't know how much msg could be in there not to mention all the 'stabilizers' etc. I try not to eat stuff with more numbers on the packet than my mobile phone has. Serve with light sour cream or whatever you like Greek style thick yogurt is really good with the curry ones, with a little fresh chopped mint or coriander/cilantro mixed in and a squeeze of lemon juice. I'm sorry about my vague quantities, but you can truly adjust to your own taste. I've been making wedges this way for more than 10 years and every body loves them. Hope you enjoy them too.
