Eating Meat
I'm a bit underweight and I'm doing my best to gain. The problem is that I really don't like eating meat. I like eating chicken and turkey, but that's really about it. Is there anything I can do to bump up my nutrition without having to eat beef?? I do eat a lot of fruits & veggies, but are there any other foods I can try to replace beef?? Thank you!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
Eat mashed potatos or something like that because that has alot of carbs. I cant think of other things that have tons or carbs but look it up online. Because thats how i gain weight most the time, if i dont watch my carb intake

eat high protein, high fiber, and bump up your carb intake; you don't have to stick to whole grains if you want to gain weight.
high protein foods like nuts (espiecially pistachios and cashews), and you can get a lot of fiber from dried fruits.

i'm a vegetarian and struggle with nutrition issues constantly. you want to make sure you get enough protein in your diet- which can be found in peanut butter and beans. (or any kind of nuts) also, if you don't eat fish you need to make sure you get a lot of iron in your diet. i'm not sure any specific foods that are high in iron (other than fish) but they make iron pills that you can take daily. a variety of different fruits and veggies can also help with getting your nutrition. different colored fruits and vegetables contain different chloroplasts and chromoplasts that your body needs. green peppers, kiwis, strawberries, bananas, melons, apples, etc. all very good! hope i helped!

Eat hazelnuts, walnuts, and almonds. They're filled with protein and really good for the skin.

You could try protein shakes.

I am a vegetarian and a little underweight, and i eat mostly fuits and vegetables, but i love eating chicken with breading! I never used to like it but my uncle made me, we are italian and HAVE to eat twice as much, and that broke my 5 year streak of no meat. Im not really a vegetarian anymore. Also, beans are good. Try that! hope i helped! xoxo
