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.
