Why do you want to take whey protein. It should be taken only if you r doing weight training exercises at gym> if you want to gain weight then you can try this -
1. 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic). Or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't drink water before meals.

Hello,
there is no need to consume any kind of supplement or medication even if you are going to the gym. It has long term harmful effects. Follow a balanced and healthy diet.
Take natural protein rich food like paneer, soyabean, pulses, sprouts, egg whites, curd/ buttermilk.
Excess protein due to supplements can cause accumulation and adverse effects.

Are you doing weight training at gym. Then do it 2-3 times (alternate days not consecutive days) a week with at least 48 hours in between 2 sessions.
You need to take whey protein (by whatever name it comes. But it should contain 80% whey protein in it. E.g. For 30 gms it should have atleast 24 grams (80%) of protein.) use it only on the day you gym (within 10 mins of exercise). Dose is 30gms. For more details you can consult me.

Hi lybrate-user Know and understand how to gain weight in a healthy manner
While some people try their level best to lose weight, others go to all kinds of lengths to gain weight in order to look healthy. Contrary to belief, people who are generally skinny don’t know how to increase weight and often find it difficult to do so. This is usually because they have a high body metabolism rate which doesn’t allow fat to accumulate, resulting in faster burning of calories. Fortunately, there are se...more
