A BMI between 18.5 and 23 is considered healthy for a Indian adult. With a weight range of 62-65, your BMI falls in the range of (18.7-19.6). For maintaining a healthy weight and not gaining fat mass, it is important to follow a strict dietary regime and set your body clock right to kick start and maintain optimal metabolism levels. Eating calorie dense foods thinking that it would lead to weight gain is not correct. You must:-
a) Set your metabolism levels right by following a strict dietary regime and setting your body clock right
b) Include foods that are nutrient as well as calorie dense
Next Steps
Include things like almond and banana shake in your diet, add dates to it. Add roasted sesame seeds to your vegetables. For more action points, you can contact me on direct consult or visit me to get a customised diet plan suiting your needs.
