Skinny as per age
I am a 20 year old girl having a good and healthy diet but still I don't gain weight and I'm only 42 kgs which is too less.
I need to gain a healthy amount of weight.
I have gone through various medical tests to ensure of the existence of any illness but found none.
may be that's an hierarchical problem I consider as my mother is also not too healthy.
kindly please help me to get over this and gain some good amount of weight.
Thank you!

Hi, when you want to gain what you need to gain is muscle. Focus on having good quality protein food sources like milk, curd, pulses, sprouts, egg, chicken, fish etc. Try to eat small meals every 2 hours. Make your meals more energy dense by adding ghee to roti or rice. Fruit milkshake as snack or a handful of mixed nuts. Drink atleast 8 to 10 glasses of water daily. Include some strength training in your exercise routine regularly.
