Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 24 years old and weigh 110 pounds. I would like to gain weight. Please help me understand how to do so. Please help.
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Your recommended daily calorie intake is approximately 2,200 kcal. Please do not reduce your current food intake. Along with your diet, follow a comfortable fitness routine for at least 30 minutes each day.
Taking a daily multivitamin supplement is recommended to help ensure you are getting essential vitamins.
Here is a sample daily diet plan:
Early Morning
A cup of tea or milk with two biscuits of your choice.
Breakfast
Two stuffed flatbreads (parathas) with yogurt, or
Two plain flatbreads (rotis) with cottage cheese (paneer), or
Two steamed rice cakes (idlis) with chutney or sambar, or
One bowl of upma or oats..
Two eggs (boiled or scrambled).
Mid-Morning Snack
A bowl of soup or one whole fruit (such as an apple or a guava).
Lunch
A serving of salad.
Two to three flatbreads (rotis) or one bowl of rice.
Lentils (dal) or sambar.
One cup of cooked vegetables (you can include two types of vegetables).
Occasionally, lightly fried items can be added.
Non-vegetarians can include chicken or fish occasionally.
Afternoon Snack
A cup of tea or fruit juice.
Two biscuits.
A small portion of sprouted legumes for added protein.
Dinner
Similar to lunch, with slight variations.
Dinner should be lighter than lunch.
Before Bed
A glass of milk after dinner.
I hope this helps.
Kindly revert so I can assist you further.
Thank you.
