Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Is Rice better than wheat?

Accepted Answer

Although rice and wheet are both staple foods in India, choice is dependant on individual's need and health status. Rice provides the same amount of iron as wheat but has less phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. It doesn't contain any calcium. Each serving of chapatis provides high calcium, phosphorus, iron and potassium compared to rice. Rice is easier to digest while wheet keeps you full for longer. Rice is rich in folate while wheet has protein. Rice is high glycemic index while wheet is good for diabetics.

I'm trying to figure out if eating egg yolks is bad for my health. I've always heard there are differences between egg whites and yolks in terms of nutrition, so I'm wondering if having two whole eggs a day is okay. Can you shed some light on the pros and cons of both parts of the egg?
