I'm 22 and thinking about trying Protinex. Do I need to talk to a doctor first? Also, will it actually help me gain body weight?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
it's recommended to consult a doctor or a nutritionist to determine if you need additional protein in your diet and to discuss the appropriate dosage; Protinex can help increase protein intake, which can support muscle growth and weight gain, but it should be combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise for optimal results.

View allI'm struggling with gaining weight after completing my latent TB treatment. My height is 5.8 feet, but I only weigh 47 kg. What kind of food or diet should I focus on to help me put on some healthy weight?
In order to gain weight through muscle mass and not fat, you should eat lean meats, such as skinned chicken, preferably steamed or boiled. Include some dairy fats like paneer and cheese in your diet, but in moderate quantities. Try to eat 1-2 boiled eggs everyday, with nuts like almonds and pistachio to augment your vitamin intake. Fresh fruits and hydration are great vitality boosters. Include at least 150 minutes of physical activity every week.

I'm trying to figure out if it's healthier to have 4 slices of brown bread with peanut butter every morning for breakfast, or if I should stick with the normal white bread. Any insights on which might be better for me?
Consuming 4 slices of brown bread with peanut butter daily for breakfast can provide sustained energy and satisfy hunger, but consider the calorie intake (around 320-400 calories) and balance it with other nutrient-rich foods throughout the day, and brown bread is a better choice than white bread due to its higher fiber and nutrient content.

I'm new to Mumbai and the only thing I'm eating right now is idli vada. I'm curious, what's the calorie count for this meal? And is it good for nutrition? I'm trying to make sure I'm eating healthy.
A typical serving of idli (2-3 pieces) and vada (1-2 pieces) contains approximately 250-400 calories, with a breakdown of 50-60g carbohydrates, 10-15g protein, and 10-15g fat; idli vada can be a nutritious option due to the presence of fermented rice and lentils, which provide probiotics, fiber, and essential amino acids, but be mindful of the oil used for frying vada and consider pairing with vegetables or sambar for added nutrition.
