Hello, losing weight continuously can be due to a lot of reasons. Suggestion is to get checked for any underlying medical condition. -Exercise daily for an hour -Include protein in your diet (taking protein rich foods post workout helps in muscle building) -Increase fiber in your diet (Will help you stay full) -Include fruits and vegetables in your diet (2-3 serving) -Water intake of atleast 3L per day -Add healthy fat like nuts to your diet. -Avoid/Exclude fried, sugary and junk food -Eat a balanced and healthy diet -Do not skip breakfast as 40% of days energy is from breakfast NOTE: The above mentioned practices can change according to a specific medical condition.

Hi
It's OK being a night shift employee doesn't mean that you can't take your meals on time.
I can surely help you managing your time for the meals.
_________________________
Always give priority to your food as at the end you are what you eat.
For weight gain you need to follow high calorie, high protein diet plan.
_________________________
I would recommend you to meet me by booking appointment directly through Practo and take a personalized diet plan for weight gain.
_________________________
For a while you can follow the following tips which may help u to some extent but for proper result u have to follow a personalized plan
> Eat More Calories Than Your Body Burns
> Eat Plenty of Protein
> Fill up on Plenty of Carbs and Fat and Eat at Least 3 Times per Day
> Don't drink water before meals. This can fill your stomach and make it harder to get in enough calories.
> Eat more often. Squeeze in an additional meal or snack whenever you can, such as before bed.
> Drink milk. Drinking whole milk to quench thirst is a simple way to get in more high-quality protein and calories
>Use bigger plates. Definitely use large plates if you're trying to get in more calories, as smaller plates cause people to automatically eat less.
> Get quality sleep. Sleeping properly is very important for muscle growth.
DISCLAIMER : If u have any other medical issue then tips will change in that case.
