There are various ways of putting on weight if you so desire. You can make some simple dietary changes that will help you in this regard. But to address your question, curd with sugar taken before, with or after meals will make only a negligible difference to your weight gain attempts. The same thing is true of eating fruits after lunch as well. Although it is true that bananas, chikoos, and even mangoes and grapes to a large extent are sugar and calorie rich foods, they will hardly help you gain significant weight if eaten post meals. This is because they contain very little in terms of fat by volume. This means that in order to gain any substantial amount of weight, you would have to eat these in very large quantities.

If you want to eat fruits to put on weight, there are various ways in which you can have them. One of the best ones is to have milk shakes with whole fruits blended into them. This combination is an excellent one and help greatly in adding weight. This is particularly true of banana and mango milkshake. You can also have full fat fruit based ice cream in order to put on weight. Ice cream is certainly more fattening than yogurt, and will make you add more weight. Fruit salad taken with fresh cream is also an excellent source of calories as well as good health. The best thing is that you can have all varieties of fruits in this particular dish. It is also easy to make. All you have to do is roughly chop fruits and add whipped, sweetened fresh cream to them. Another option that will take a little more time is fruit custard. You should use full fat milk to make the custard, which will help with the weight gain endeavor more. Custard also goes particularly well with bananas and mangoes, so this becomes a culinary treat as well. Another good way to gain good health while adding to weight is to have a glass of milk just before bed time, accompanied with a banana or an apple. This will keep your body from starving all night, when it has to do without food, and will also make you put on some weight over a period of time. Other ways of adding weight would be to increase your intake of complex carbohydrates. This will show quick and good results. Complex carbohydrates would include, among other things, sweets and desserts.
