Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Consuming energy-dense foods (foods high in calories) and engaging in weight training can promote muscle growth and weight gain. This combination increases caloric intake and physical activity, which can lead to an increase in body weight. Option A is not recommended as it can lead to unhealthy behaviors and potential weight gain; B is not recommended as it may compromise overall health by limiting the intake of important nutrients; C is a medication used for weight loss, not weight gain; and E is not supported by evidence to promote weight gain.
