Since you are 24 years old, 5'1'' (155 cm), and weigh 43 kg, with a diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB), your nutritional requirements are higher than usual. During TB treatment, the body needs extra calories, protein, vitamins, and minerals to support recovery, rebuild lost muscle mass, strengthen immunity, and promote healthy weight gain.
Dietary Recommendations :-
✔ Aim for 5-6 meals daily instead of 3 large meals.
✔ You need a high protein diet- so include protein at every meal (milk, curd, paneer, soy products, dals, legumes).
✔ Add healthy calorie boosters like ghee, nuts, seeds, peanut butter, and dry fruits.
✔ Stay well-hydrated and continue your TB medications as prescribed.
✔ Get adequate rest and gradually incorporate light physical activity as your energy improves.
