Nutritional basics.

Now that you have your virtual tablet to compile information on, it's time to learn what exactly you'll need to enter in.

When you're concerned with gaining weight, you will need to look at the following.

Protein: Essential for muscle building.

Carbs: Provides energy and is also responsible for 'feeding' muscles.

Fat: There are plenty of good fats that help with joint health, heart health, and even depression! Who thought fats were good? Well they are and I'll get to that in a bit.

Calories: We want good, solid calories from clean sources. This is the most important thing to look at when you're thin. You need to keep calories high for that weight to come. Of course, we want to keep them coming from as many clean sources as possible.

Now that you've looked at the basics, it's time to put those terms into something you can use. Food. Time to get to chowin' down!
