A thorough medical examination is essential if you have a poor appetite or not gaining weight inspite of eating properly. Generally,weight gain needs patience and happens gradually with improved appetite and sensible eating. Weight gain needs a healthy wholesome diet with increase in proteins, healthy fats and required carbohydrate intake. Include more of fish, eggs, chicken, nuts and oilseeds in your diet with ample quantity of fresh fruits and vegetables. Do not skip meals and eat frequently.

Hi Lybrate-user, There so many reasons you can't gain weight. Eating more is not solution for weight gain. Here gives you some details .In Ayurveda special therapy for weight gain is called BRIMHANA CHIKITSA to increase body weight naturally, boost immunity of body and rejuvenate body tissues. This therapy helps the individual to gain healthy body weight and enhanced immunity. BRIMHANA CHIKITSA: We advise to use herbs and food which have earth (prithvi) and water (ap) elements in larger proportions. Vata causes emaciation or weight loss in body. Hence these ingredients and methods must alleviate vata and balance all three doshas. Massaging whole body with vata balancing herbal oil (ksheerabala oil) is recommended for those who are willing to gain healthy weight. Inclusion of ghee, milk, meat and other nutrient foods in diet helps to increase body weight. These foods must increase kapha and reduce vata. Reducing stress level, sleeping comfortably for long hours and afternoon naps are very essential to increase body mass. Restriction of strenuous physical activities also contributes to weight gain. For details can online consult for further details.
