Hye, Thanks for the query. Being underweight can be a concern if it's the result of poor nutrition. Here are some healthy ways to gain weight when you're underweight: Eat more frequently. Choose nutrient-rich foods. As part of an overall healthy diet, choose whole-grain breads, rice and cereals; fruits and vegetables; dairy products; lean protein sources; and nuts. Don't fill up on diet soda, coffee and other drinks with few calories and little nutritional value. Instead, drink smoothies or healthy shakes. Snack on nuts, dried fruits and fresh fruits. Even when you're underweight, be mindful of excess sugar and fat. An occasional slice of cake or ice cream is fine. But most sweets should be healthy and provide nutrients in addition to calories. Exercise, especially strength training, can help you gain weight by building up your muscles. Exercise may also stimulate your appetite.

Hello, Weight gain is a gradual process and it should be built gradually. Along with the quantity ,quality of food taken also matters. Eat right along with more food. Include dark green vegetables, nuts, pulses,eggs, dairy,lean chicken, fish,whole grains in the diet. You need to consume more calories, so keep having nutrient densed meals at regular intervals. Strength training atleast 3 times a week will also help. Sleep well and do not over exert yourself.
