I am 18 Year Young Boy. My weight is just 45 kg and Body Mass Index is around 18. How can i take diet for weight gain. Should I take Calcium,Multivitamins,etc. Supplements?

Ans: You're at a great age to build a strong, healthy body. Focus on nutrient-rich weight gain rather than just eating more. Include high-calorie, nutrient-dense foods, complex carbs like brown rice, oats, whole wheat bread, sweet potatoes; healthy fats like almonds, walnuts, olive oil, avocado; protein-rich foods like eggs, paneer, chicken, lentils, tofu, greek yogurt; dairy; fruits and vegetables. Multivitamins can help if your diet lacks variety — choose a basic daily multivitamin. Supplements are not a substitute for food. Use them only to fill gaps, not as your main source of nutrition. Exercise for muscle gain.

Respected Ma'am,I am Nivi.I am 21 years old.Height: 5'3Weight: 41 kgI want to increase my weight. It would be great if you could share any tips.Thanks and regards,Nivi

Weight gain should be targeted as increase in lean mass.

Start with regular strengthening exercises daily and ensure a good protein intake for muscle build-up. This will help gradually increase your weight.

Have a balanced diet with a good balance of macro and micro nutrients.

Eating excess carbohydrate or high fat foods will only increase fat percentage.

If you are an ectomorph whose metabolic rates are very high, you will need to plan your activities with more focus on weight training and less on cardio.

Health

Hello, I have recently started working out as I am looking to gain some good weight. My current height is 5'10 and my weight is 65kgs. Can you please suggest me a diet in order to gain good weight with a mix of proteins and other foods good for natural gaining.

Ans: Your ideal weight should be around 77 to 80 kgs and hence protein requirement is 70 gms per day .

Pre workouts you can have
Carbs so as to perform max during your workouts .

Eg

Oats / nuts with fruit like banana / orange / apple
Overnight soaked almonds / walnuts / pista -5 to 7 pcs each

Post workouts you need to include proteins in diet
Eg protein supplement - isopure or muscle blaze -30 gms or GNC muscle gain -30 gms in a glass of milk or water

Can have eggs -2 to 3 / sprouts -1 bowl / paneer grilled -100 gms

Or Smoothie - protein supplement + nuts + milk + fruit of your choice .

Rest in the meals you can add
Paneer
Sprouts
Dal
Lentils
Eggs
Chicken
Fish
Curds
Milk and milk products
Soy beans etc
Which are loaded with proteins and will help achieve your requirements of protein in the body .
Also help built lean muscle mass .

Question by Seema - May 09, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir i want to become a pharmacist and open my medical drug store ..i want to study pharmacy in delhi by doing d pharma for 2 yrs then do lateral entry in b pharm and then open my medical store in bihar Bhagalpur..kindly guide me on this sir if what i am planning is good or not as i have less knowledge on this.

Ans: HI SEEMA,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!

I wanted to discuss your plans regarding starting a pharmacy shop. Are you considering opening a pharmacy only, or do you have other ideas in mind?

If you wish to start a pharmacy shop right away, you can proceed with a D.Pharm degree, and after three years, you can pursue a B.Pharm (PRACTICE - 3YEAR COURSE) for further practice.

However, if you prefer to study for a B.Pharm degree first, you can decide to open a pharmacy shop after completing it. This way, there's no need to do a D.Pharm before pursuing a B.Pharm, but keep in mind that it may take you an additional one or two years. For example, if you enroll in a D.Pharm program and later enter B.Pharm through lateral entry, that could mean 2 years for D.Pharm, followed by 3 years of B.Pharm, plus 6 months for an internship.(Totally it becomes 5.5 years rather 4 years).

So, I suggest you consider going directly for the B.Pharm.

If you have any doubts, kindly do share.
