Weight Gain Tips 

Gaining weight is a much easier task then loosing one, so be calm and follow these simple tips mentioned below –

  • According to your height your weight should be about 15 kg more, set a goal to achieve ½ kg per week and not more. For that you will have to make conscious effort to eat.
  • Have small caloric dense meals at frequent intervals, if before you used to have 3 main large meals then now gradually increase the number of meals.
  • Start your day with a heavy breakfast with a bowl of cereal, milk, nuts, some sprouts and a fruit. Some food options with high calories include all kinds of nuts like roasted groundnuts, cashew nuts, pistachio nuts, almonds, dry fruits like raisins, dates and dried figs. Make sure to have a handful of these (any according to your choice) in a day.
  • Add caloric dense shakes like fruit milkshake, dry fruit milkshake or simply add nuts on any shake you like to add on calories.
  • Have a balanced meal which includes servings from cereals, pulses, dairy products, egg or poultry. Eggs, poultry, fish and meat will also take care of the protein which is required to build muscle mass.
  • Exercise. When you start any activity first 10 days you would fell that you are losing weight but gradually as the muscle would build up you will see the difference.
