Amy Jamieson-Petonic of Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics answered:A registered dietitian can help people that need to gain weight. The most important thing is to gain weight slowly, and with the right foods. It's important to avoid saturated fats, trans fats, and added sugars while you are trying to gain weight because these will negatively impact health.

Joan Salge Blake of Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics answered:There are many places to find a registered dietitian (RD). Many RDs are working in the outpatient department of hospitals, in clinics, and often times, in private practice. Check with your insurance company to see if your policy covers nutrition counseling by an RD as many do. They will also have a list of RD for you to visit.
