Lesser BMI.

2017-04-06 17:21:37
I am underweight, I've try many things including a well proteinaceous diet, a little bit of gym. I think some growth hormone disbalance is there. Though my height is normal, about 5"11. So please refer me a supplement or something for gain a good body mass.

Hi dear, I think it's just your BMR is faster. You need to take equal or double the carbohydrates than protien to spare protien for weight gain. May be ratio is not proper hence you are not gaining much.
Next Steps
You can consult online directly for detailed and personalised diet chart for you.
Health Tips
Till then eat frequent calorie dense meals and also so some strength training for weight gain.
