I'm a 17-year-old girl, and I've been struggling with being very thin and weak. I've tried so many ways to gain weight and even make sure to have my meals on time. But nothing seems to change; my weight is always the same. I really want to put on a little weight and become a bit healthier. Can you give me some trusted advice on how I can gain weight easily and quickly?
To gain weight healthily, focus on consuming more calories than you burn; try: eating smaller, frequent meals, incorporating calorie-dense foods like nuts, dried fruits, avocados, and full-fat dairy products, adding healthy fats and oils to your meals, strength training exercises to build muscle mass, and consider consulting a registered dietitian or nutritionist for personalized guidance.

I'm trying to figure out whether it's better to drink milk in the morning or in the evening. Is there an ideal time for it health-wise, or does it not really matter? I'm just a bit confused about what the best practice is.
Drinking milk in the evening is considered more beneficial than in the morning, as it helps promote better sleep quality, relaxes the muscles, and supports bone health, due to the presence of tryptophan, calcium, and magnesium, which have a calming effect on the body.
