Dear Dietitian, my both leg are so weak and small. But I am hardworking boy. I want to increase my width of legs. Kindly suggest such medicine and healthy foods. Just same as legs. My hand arms also small. I am 29 age. Please.

Only certain areas of body cannot be increased separately. Overall weight gain will cause your hands & legs also to increase in size. For healthy weight gain, 1. Have small frequent meals at 2-3 hrs intervals containing foods rich in nutrient & calorie density (concentrated food low in volume) like paneer paratha, cheese-potato sandwich, dates-almonds milkshake, peanut chikki, til ladoo, banana kheer, atta halwa/gond ladoo, thicker atta-maida rotis with ghee, rice with ghee, cow/buffalo milk with skim milk powder, homemade cereal malt with milk & sugar, premix with soup, fruit juice, sugarcane juice, dry fruits, soyabean cutlet/roll, fruit lassi, egg curry/omlette/egg scramble/french toast, fatty fish, thick creamy chicken soup 2. Drink 3 litres water daily (but not with or just before meal) 3. Avoid junk foods & empty calorie snacks 4. Enjoy meals in a peaceful environment without distractions 5. Eat fast & in bigger utensils 6. 15 mins light walk can be taken before meals to increase appetite 7. Get a thyroid profile test done to rule out hyperthyroidism.
