Balanced Diet for Weight Gain: A Personalized Guide for Men

Question
Dear madam,

i am a 24 year old guy.i am 6 feet 2 inches tall.
but my weight is only 60 kgs.

i am a very thin guy.
I want to know a balanced diet as per my height.

What should i do to gain more weight ?


Answer
Satya,
For your age and height you should be eating between 2000 calories(if you don't get much activity) and 2800 calories (if you are very active). For the mean time while you are in need of gining weight I would keep to the higher end.

Websites like NutritionData.com make it easy to keep track of how many calories you eat in a day. Try adding more whole grains and protein based foods to your diet, they tend to have more calories than fruits and veggies do.

Also strength training to build muscle will help you gain weight.

You might want to talk to a doctor though, there are many health conditions that can cause you to be very thin.


Hope this Helps,
