I'm a bit concerned because I'm underweight, and I've read that warm water with lemon might be good for health, but does it actually lead to weight loss? I'm worried it might not be the best thing for me to start if I'm already trying to put on some weight. Can you help clear this up for me?

I'm worried about gaining muscle and increasing my weight. Right now, I weigh 62 kg, my height is 5'9", and my BMI is 20.1 with a body fat percentage of 13%. I hit the gym daily for weight training. I'm wondering if I can use desi ghee to help with weight gain. I've heard it has a high saturated fat content, but I also read that the saturated fat in ghee is short-chain, which supposedly isn't as harmful as the long-chain ones. Can you tell me if ghee would be a good option for me?

Someone told me ghee contains high saturated fat, but I read that saturated fat in ghee is short-chain which is not harmful like long-chain fatty acids. Is ghee good for me? Desi ghee can be a good option for weight gain as it is a rich source of calories and healthy fats. The short-chain saturated fats in ghee are easily digestible and provide a quick source of energy. However, it is important to consume ghee in moderation as it is high in calories. You can incorporate a small amount of desi ghee in your diet to help with weight gain, but make sure to balance it with a healthy and nutritious diet.

I'm really unsure about whether a vegetarian or non-vegetarian diet is better for a guy my age. I'm aiming to build a strong, fit, muscular body, but right now, I feel a bit weak. My diet is currently vegetarian. Can you advise me on what would be the best approach to achieve my fitness goals?
