Your weight is very low for your age and height, so first donât skip any meal â eat every 2-3 hours, even if itâs something small.
Start your day with 4 soaked almonds, 2 walnuts, and 1 date or fig â these give strength and good fats.
Have a glass of milk or banana shake in the morning â you can add soaked chia seeds or peanut butter to increase calories naturally.
Breakfast should be heavy â poha with peanuts, upma with veggies, besan or moong chilla with curd, or paratha with ghee.
Mid-morning, eat a banana, mango (in season), or chikoo â energy-rich fruits help in weight gain.
Lunch must have 2 rotis with ghee, rice, dal or chole/rajma, one sabzi, and curd or buttermilk.
Add paneer, tofu, or boiled soya chunks to your sabzi or rice to increase protein and calories.
After lunch, eat a small piece of jaggery or a date â it helps digestion and builds energy.
Evening snack should be filling â a glass of milk with dry fruits powder or a peanut butter toast, or boiled sweet corns with butter.
Dinner should be wholesome â 2 rotis or khichdi with ghee, sabzi, dal, and a small bowl of curd or soup.
Eat 1-2 boiled potatoes or sweet potatoes 3-4 times a week â they help in gaining healthy weight.
Before sleeping, take a glass of warm milk with a pinch of haldi .
Avoid drinking water just before and right after meals â sip in between meals instead.
Avoid junk food, chips, soft drinks â they donât help in gaining good weight.
Include physical activity like walking or light yoga â it improves digestion and appetite.
Next Steps
If you're eating well and still not gaining, your body may not be absorbing nutrients well â get tests done for thyroid, vitamin B12, D3, and hemoglobin.

Your BMI is very low. To gain weight your consumption should be more than how much you are burning. You need to add high-calorie foods to your diet like nuts, seeds, dairy, eggs, peanut butter. Start eating every 2 – 3 hours. Include protein-based snacks in between main meals like sprouts chaat, roasted chana, peanuts, and grilled paneer. Along with diet do strength training exercises like weightlifting which helps you to gain weight. You need to have the correct combination of carbohydrates, protein, and fats for healthy weight gain. Also, check with any underlying health condition like hyperthyroidism, malabsorption, or any chronic illness.
Next Steps
For personalized guidance and strategy for weight gain please contact me for diet consultation.
