Hello, as per the details provided currently your bmi is 19 kg/m2. Bmi (18.5 to 22.9 for asians) is an indicator of your health, which depends on your height & weight. As your height information is not provided as per the reference range of bmi you come under normal weight category. Also are your iron levels low? I would suggest to not start any medication without a proper consultation. Drastic changes and supplements are only a short term way to gain weight. A varied diet is going to be very essential. Listed below are a few rules to start, however regular evaluation is necessary to include all the required changes. A personalized diet is also strongly recommended that takes into account your lifestyle & rotuine. 1. Never miss your meals & have small frequent meals. 2. Eat a variety of millets like jowar, bajra, ragi apart from wheat as these are good sources of iron, calcium, magnesium etc. 3. Foods high in protein should be a part of all the 3 meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner. Foods with higher protein content are pulses, sprouts, dals, soya, milk, paneer, curd, eggs, chicken, fish etc. Vegetables like potato, sweet potato, yam are calorically dense than vegetables. Try to include them regularly. 4. Ensure you eat 2 fruits daily fruit juices should be avoided. 5. Include foods with healthy fats like almonds, walnuts, cashews etc. Other dry fruits like dates raisins are also a good choice. 6. Have calorically dense foods such as milkshakes, lassi, dried fruits & nuts etc 7. Include exercise daily for 30-45 minutes (strength training) as it helps in improving appetite & gain lean muscle 8. Sugar, sweets, soft drinks in any form should be avoided. For any further queries, you can visit our website www.balcalnutrefy.com or call us on mobile.
