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.

View allI've been trying to work on reducing my fat and losing weight, so I started drinking lemon and honey with water. I'm not sure when the best time is to drink it. I usually have it after brushing my teeth and using the toilet in the morning. Is that right, or should I be drinking it before brushing and using the toilet? Can you help me figure this out?
It is generally recommended to drink lemon and honey water on an empty stomach, ideally before brushing your teeth and using the toilet. This allows for better absorption of the nutrients and may help in weight loss. So, it would be better to drink it before brushing and using the toilet in the morning.

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.
