Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 21 years old. A male with height 5.6 feet weight 101 lbs. I eat well but I look very slim and weak body. So, please give a good suggestion for a healthy and muscular body.

Answered by Dr. Shaikh Sadaf

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query and it appears that you are underweight although you have a very good height. I suggest you take a high protein diet preferably if you are a non-vegetarian then take chicken, mutton, eggs daily. Also, try to eat small meals frequently. Take Ensure milk powder twice a day regularly. You must take a high-calorie diet more than 2500 kcal per day. Problem is if you are a vegetarian, in that case, you must add your proteins from dry fruits, soya milk, soybeans, clarified butter, etc. Sleep well and exercise in moderation for 20 to 30 minutes daily.

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