Weight Gain Nutritionist in New York 

Gaining weight isn’t as easy as adding an extra meal a day. Many people struggle to put on weight after a hospitalization, surgery, or medical treatment. It’s not uncommon for seniors to lose weight or experience loss of appetite. Perhaps you’re an athlete who wants to build muscle or someone who just wants to feel better and more energetic.

If you are experiencing sudden weight loss, it’s important to visit your primary health care professional to rule out any underlying medical causes. Being underweight puts you at risk for many health problems:

  • Fatigue 
  • A weakened immune system. 
  • Fertility problems.
  • Nutritional deficiencies.
  • Skin, hair, and teeth problems.
  • Osteoporosis.

Nutritionist Tips on How to Gain Weight

Once we identify the underlying reasons for your weight loss, we can come up with individualized dietary interventions. We will develop a diet plan that includes high-protein, high-calorie meals and snacks to help you gain weight without feeling extra full. 

Why is it hard for athletes to gain weight?

Competitive athletes must follow tailor-made diet plans to improve their performance. Some struggle to gain weight. By working with a sports nutritionist, you can reach a weight that will optimize performance. This is a science! Weight gain goals should be between 1/2 pound to 1 pound per week (no more!), with a nutrient-rich diet that includes fats, carbs, and proteins. Every body is different, and your body type depends on the genetic hand you’re dealt. That said, with the right nutrition plan, you can reach the weight you need to improve your sport. 

Reach your optimal weight with the guidance of a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. You will be paired with one of our RDNs who will analyze your activity levels, age, and height to develop an individualized nutrition plan for you to gain weight slowly and safely.

Sustainable Weight Gain & Restorative Nutrition in NYC

Our Clinical Approach to Healthy Weight Gain

Gaining weight healthily requires more than just “eating more.” It requires a strategic, functional approach to ensure you are building lean tissue and supporting your internal systems. Together, we will:

  • Analyze Eating Behaviors: Evaluate your current relationship with food to identify barriers to consistent intake.

  • Identify Digestive Triggers: Pinpoint food sensitivities or underlying gut issues that may be causing malabsorption, digestive distress, or unintentional weight loss.

  • Strategic Caloric Density: Develop sophisticated weight gain solutions that prioritize healthy fats and nutrient-dense calories without leaving you feeling uncomfortably full.

  • Individualized Nutrition Programming: Implement a sustainable, science-backed plan tailored to your specific body composition goals and activity level.

  • Targeted Nutritional Coaching: Provide the ongoing motivation and clinical adjustments needed to ensure your progress remains steady and healthy.

Eat your way to health, one bite at a time.

We work with patients to develop a better relationship with food and understand how nutrition affects every aspect our lives. We will empower you with the tools you need to:

  • Include a greater variety of nutrient-rich foods in your diet.
  • Be more confident in your food choices.
  • Become restaurant and supermarket savvy.
  • Enjoy eating out with friends and family again.
  • Feel more vital — with healthier hair, skin, and teeth.
  • Provide family nutrition counseling for improved family health.

Testimonials

Loving my appointments with NY Nutrition Group. They take a wholistic approach to your nutrition and health, instead of just telling you what food groups to put on your plate or to simply cut out entire foods. I better understand how food works in my body in coordination with activity, sleep, mental health and overall health and wellness. I’m so glad I found them. They are helping me heal and improve my relationship with food and my body

by – Liz Lane

Working with NY Nutrition Group was the best decision I ever made! Lisa Moskovitz is an expert in intuitive eating and eating disorders. She is truly the only person that has been able to help my eating disorder recovery. Lisa is very kind and knowledgeable! I highly recommend to anyone looking for support – Hope S.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Cassie Steinberg, Registered Dietitian over a period of 6 months. We met weekly to come up with personal health habits and fun meal ideas. What began as me wanting to lose some weight really ended up becoming a process of self-love and creating daily eating habits I could live with long-term. Cassie was creative and kind. She helped me in so many ways to accept the body I have and to nourish it daily. I highly recommend her as a Dietitian and body image guru

    by – Angie Goncalves

Have been working with Lisa for 9 months and am very pleased with the experience. I’ve seen progress toward my goals, but more importantly, the way that Lisa frames progress is holistic, balanced, and not overly obsessed with the scale. I’m grateful to have someone to share my stressors and disappointments through the process who has the knowledge and perspective to help assuage them. I’ve never once felt like I was being pushed into unsustainable habits or behaviors that are isolating. A great person to add to your care team if you want to build a healthy, realistic relationship with food and your body!

by – Angelica Richie

I have had the pleasure of working with Jeanne for a couple of months now and I’ve never felt better. Since I first started working with her she listened to all my goals and always gave me the best guidance and recommendations to meet my goals. I’ve noticed that I make wiser nutrition decisions since working with her and value the sessions we have

by – Maria Toro Franco

I’ve had the pleasure of working with two outstanding nutritionists. My former nutritionist left during COVID. Since then, I’ve been working with Julia DiPietrantonio. Julia is culturally competent, which is very important to me … If you’re looking to gain confidence not just a sense of control over your relationship with food, Julia is a great partner. I really appreciate NYNG, and I hope they continue to see cultural competency as a key pillar of their platform – Zahra Marie
