Whether you gain weight depends on more than just the foods you eat, and how often.

The Weight-loss Information Network says other factors that can influence weight gain include:

• Having family members who are obese.
• Whether you drive more than you walk.
• Whether you dine out more than you cook at home.
• Getting insufficient sleep.
• Taking certain medications that can increase hunger or affect how well you burn calories.
