I am 23 year old .my weight is 50 kg but I want more weight because looking wise I am very slim trim so pls suggest any diet plan for me and I am non-vegetarian.

Question

Weight is sometimes due to constitutional predisposition, some people have high basal metabolic rate, that prevents weight gain. I suggest you to do thyroid function test. If that is normal then a diet rich in carbohydrates (banana, rice, wheat, jaggery) and protien will help you to gain weight. Along with diet physical excercise is very important. Please do not try any of the weight gain formula tablets/ powders being sold on tv or other on line shops, these are not goverenent approved formulas and may contain harmful chemicals, that can do long term damage to a person's health.
