Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My height is 6 feet, and my weight is 143 lbs. I want to gain weight. How much weight do I need to have according to my height? Please suggest a full vegetarian diet plan for gaining weight fast.

Answered by Dr. Suneetha B S

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

You should not be looking forward to gaining fat. What you need to gain is muscle strength. It gives you lots of energy with great looks too. You must include proteins in your diet to gain the look you desire. Since you are a vegetarian, the only sources of proteins are sprouts, pulses, and nuts. Instead of having three major meals daily, I suggest you divide them into six to eight small meals. Counting calories is an outdated theory. Indulge in an hour of physical exercise every day, which includes weight training. I would like to know your age, daily routine, and the foods you have eaten while growing up and in childhood.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
