Gaining healthy weight doesn't necessarily mean that how much you weigh is going to change. Your main goal should be to put on healthy weight, not just any weight.
"If you've ever struggled to gain weight, it's important to note that weight doesn't change linearly," said Konforti. "In other words, you shouldn't expect to gain half a pound or one pound every single week. Go by how you feel and try measuring your progress with body composition, which tells you how the ratio of fat to muscle is changing — this is a lot more telling than just weight."
"Many people will like the changes they see in the mirror but not the scale since they're burning fat and building muscle at the same time," Konforti concluded. "Remember that the number on the scale isn't what's most important; it's how you feel. As long as you're moving in the right direction, that's all that matters."
