Hi doctor,
I am a 22 year old male weighing 99.2 lbs and my height is 5.5 feet. My concern is why I am so lean despite of eating healthy foods. Please help. Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com. Thanks for using this platform. First of all I would suggest you to rule out any chronic disease by carrying out blood test that is preventing you from gaining weight. In order to build muscle and body, there is no better way than going to gym and supplementing it with diet rich in proteins and following a healthy diet. Choose high calorie foods like; milk shakes, fruits like banana, pineapple, sapodilla, pear and dry fruits. Add more protein like peanut, soybean, pulses and meat (if non-vegetarian) in your diet. Egg and milk are wholesome food so try and take them daily. Warm milk before going to bed brings in a healthy and considerable weight gain. Start with smaller proportions initially and gradually increase the intake. Eat five to six small balanced meals per day rather than eating three large meals. Protein powder and nutritional supplement drinks can be added. It is important to have a balance between exercise and diet for a healthy weight gain.
