Query related to weight gain.
I am Male, 26 years and have 172 cm Height. My weight is 60 Kg. I want to gain at least 10 Kg more. For that I have been eating fat rich food. Also I am taking Whey HQ Isolate. Somebody suggested me that Whey Isolate protein helps in building muscular mass. But since last 2 months no changes in the body have been observed and weight is also the same, instead, my belly fat has increased. I want to ask
1. Do weight gain supplements really help in gaining muscular mass and how much time will it take to gain 10 kg? Instead of having a uniform fat distribution, why my belly fat has increased?
2. Is my current weight normal as per my height?

Hi!
1. Weight gain supplements do help, but they are helpful only if paired with a balanced diet and the right workout. Consuming more fat would make you gain fat mass. Your goal should be increasing muscle mass. That would be a healthy weight gain.
So you might want to get your body composition analysis done so that you know the percentage of fat and muscle in your body and accordingly, your diet can be worked upon.
2. Yes, you belong to normal BMI category.
Next Steps
Book an appointment on Practo for a personalized diet plan for your goal.

Balanced diet along with supplements and workout helps in increasing the muscles. Try to focus on increasing muscle mass by increasing protein rather than increasing fat rich foods.
