http://NaturalBodybuildingTips.com - To gain weight and build muscle, a powerful weight gain diet is important. For skinny hardgainers, here are some super foods to gain weight fast:

For those people trying and even struggling to build muscle mass, there are some foods that work better than others. We might even call these "super foods" to gain weight. To gain weight, you've got to achieve a calorie surplus, but you've got to do it in a way that doesn't endanger your health or add large amounts of body fat. That's where these types of "super" food to gain weight can help you.

#1 Super Food to Gain Weight: Walnuts

Walnuts contain an incredible combination of healthy monounsaturated fats, the amino acid l-arginine, and phytosterols. This means they offer you increased calorie consumption and increased levels of nitric oxide, a natural element in the body that aids in stimulate muscle recovery and growth. Plus, walnuts even help prevent heart disease and cancer, negating the effects of harmful saturated fats found in high-fat foods. Aim for about 20 grams of walnuts per day if you're eating this particular super food to gain weight.

#2 Super Food to Gain Weight: Oranges

Oranges are high in vitamin C, a potent protector of nitric oxide levels in the body. Vitamin C helps keep the nitric oxide "bioavailable" so it can be used for building muscle mass. This works in tandem with the addition of walnuts to your diet. Try to eat an orange about 30 to 45 minutes before your workout. This will help keep your nitric oxide levels where you need them most during your training.

#3 Super Food to Gain Weight: Dried Fruit

Dried fruit is relatively high in sugar, but most of it is also loaded with fiber and jam-packed with vitamins and minerals that are necessary to build muscle and stay healthy. That reduces the storage of body fat. Dried fruits are also loaded with calories, which help you achieve that calorie surplus you need from your food to gain weight. Bring some dried fruit along with you for snacks throughout the day but make sure you drink a lot of water with it so you don't get dehydrated. Also, stay away from commercial dried bananas that are loaded with fat and try to find "unsulfured" versions of these foods.

To gain weight, you can simply eat a lot of food. To gain weight healthfully while building muscle mass, however, incorporate these "super foods" in your diet.
