There are foods rich in protein and other nutrients that can support muscle health:
1. Lean meats: Chicken breast, turkey.
2. Fish: Salmon, tuna, trout, and other fatty fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
3. Eggs: A complete protein source with all essential amino acids.
4. Dairy: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and low-fat milk provide protein and calcium.
5. Plant-based proteins: Tofu, tempeh, edamame, lentils, chickpeas, black beans, and quinoa.
6. Nuts and seeds: Almonds, peanuts, cashews, chia seeds, and pumpkin seeds are rich in protein and healthy fats.
7. Whole grains: Brown rice, quinoa, oats, and whole wheat bread provide carbohydrates for energy and some protein.
8. Vegetables: Spinach, broccoli, kale, and Brussels sprouts are good sources of vitamins, minerals, and some protein.
Next Steps
Including a variety of these foods in her diet can help ensure she gets the nutrients needed to support muscle health and overall well-being.
Health Tips
Additionally, staying hydrated and consuming enough calories to support her activity level are also important considerations. Don’t take supplements without consultation.

Healthy evening,
Try to include protein foods in at least two meals each day such as meat , poultry, fish, beans, pulses, dal , dairy and eggs. Try to include an energy foods at each meal such as bread , potatoes, rice, pasta , or cereal
Have some foods rich in calcium and vitamin D for healthy bones.
1. Eat three to five meals a day. Eating at least three days can make it easier to increase calorie intake.
2. Weight training
3. Eat enough protein
4. Eat meals with fibrous carbohydrates and healthy fats
5. Drink high calorie smoothies or shakes
6. Seek help where needed.
