Buffalo milk has lower cholesterol but more calories and fat compared with cow's milk. Cow milk is lower in fat than buffalo milk. ... Buffalo milk is extremely rich in calcium, and is a good source of minerals like magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus. Buffalo milk has less cholesterol, more fat, more calories.Tetra pak is not suitable for children: With hygienic packaging of unparalleled quality, tetra pak milk is extremely safe for a child's growth and development. Easy usability, convenient portability, and better nutrient strength - all these factors make it a preferred choice for kids. The Food Safety Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has confirmed that 70 per cent of the milk available in the country is adulterated with detergent, glucose and skim milk powder. Hence, though we consume milk for its protein and calcium which may be retained post boiling too, tetra pak is an ideal option for packaged milk as it eliminates the chances of adulteration due to its absolutely hygienic processing and packaging methods.

Hyperthyroidism, diabetes and gastrointestinal problems are the common diseases that can lead to losing weight or the inability to gain weight. But there are other, less-common, issues that could be at fault. Some prescription medications can increase your metabolism, which will burn more calories. Diet can be modified after getting medical advise. Take care.

Yes skipping meals is very harmful for health. It results in malnutrition & ulcer formation. A balanced diet/ meal should contain whole grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy products, whole legumes/ fish./ chicken/ egg. You need to adjust your meal timings as per your job requirements instead of missing them. Also, have small frequent meals at 3 hrs intervals instead of 2-3 main meals only. Keep healthy snacks like roasted makhana, roasted chana, sprouts, curd, whole fruits, nuts, oilseeds, home made premix/cereal malt, tetra pack milk, salads handy with you which you may consume in between main meals or even use in combinations as meal option since these can be had at your desk while working.

Packed milk is refrigerated & use by date is mentioned on each packet. It is pasteurized to kill microorganisms. So no need of preservatives. Fat content depends on type of milk. Highest in cow milk followed by toned, followed by double toned, followed by skim milk. Tetra pack milk is also well sterilised & refrigerated.

You do not have to boil pasteurized milk if it is in a tetra pack but if it is in plastic saches then you need to boil it. No eating raw eggs as it has an anti nutrient which can cause problem with absorbtion. Weight gain is muscle gain and not fat gain. In your condition your energy requirement is very high so whatever you eat is used as a source of energy and you do not make muscle. To gain muscles you will have to eat at least 6 meals (high calorie) in a day at a regular interval with a proper ratio of proteins and carbohydrates. Proteins will help you gain body mass while carbohydrates will help you give energy. Protein foods are eggs, fish, chicken, milk and milk products, meat and dals. Carbohydrate foods are roti and rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes. You have to eat vegetables and fruits and use healthy and good fats for cooking like ghee, cold pressed mustrad or til oil. You will also have to do some weight training exercise to help you build mass into the body. Also drink enough water to keep you hydrated.
