Weight Gain with Olive Oil

Weight gain? Not always so easy for athletes.
Athletes often burn a lot of energy and put a lot of physical stress on their bodies, so it is sometimes difficult to consume enough calories. Here's a quick and easy idea for getting more calories into each meal...

1 tbsp of olive oil is 120 calories of mostly healthy monounsaturated fats and contains zero deadly trans fats. It is high in vitamins E, K, and A and contains Polyphenols ad Oleic Acid for heart and artery health.

Consuming 1 to 2 tbsps with each meal throughout the day (3-6 meals) can add anywhere from 360 to 1440 calories per day! Depending on your energy needs. This is in conjunction with a diet containing healthy proteins, vegetables, fruits, berries, nuts, seeds, and quality carbohydrates when needed.

Many Olympic athletes consume 10,000 or more calories per day when training. So if you are training hard, don't fear the calories, just be sure to be healthy and smart. Always buy extra virgin olive oil that is in dark glass bottles.

And if you want to stick to the Popeye theme, get plenty of spinach, it will help you get strong too.
