Hello. Weight gain is a slow process. To gain weight one must try increasing their appetite. This can be done by increasing the amount of food one eats each time. When ever you eat, you must eat an energy dense meal, that comes from food rich in all the 3 nutrients, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Increase the number of meals you have in a day. Increase the intake of 1st class proteins in your diet, that comes majorly form the animal sources, also can be achieved by mixing the cereals and the pulse. The intake of fat should be preferred from the invisible sources, that is from the nuts and oil seeds, as they contain the healthy fats. Include both the fresh as well as the dried fruits in your diet, during the mid meals, as they are energy dense. Body growth in terms of weight in a healthy way can be achieved by indulging in some physical activity complemented by proper pre and post activity meal, that helps develop your muscle strength and lean body mass. These tips should help you achieve your goal.
