The idea here is to help you gain muscle which is important in gaining weight.Include protein rich foods like fish, chicken, eggs, lean meat, tofu and dairy products. Plant based sources like nuts, seeds, legumes, lentils & sprouts.

2. Bulk up:
Strength training is ideally the best in order to promote muscle growth. So, 3-4 times a week of strength training and exercise that focus on muscle building is recommendable. This will also help in stimulating your hunger.

3. Add More Healthy Calories to Your Meals:
When trying to gain weight high calories foods are the key. Healthy caloric sources include nut butter, nuts and seeds, avocado, banana, dates, healthy smoothies etc

4. Change your food habits:
Try increasing your portion intake slowly. Avoid skipping meals and if possible try adding snacks to your routine which are dense in calories and rich in nutrients like nuts and dry fruits, you can have protein smoothies or shakes. Make sure to incorporate Rice, Potatoes ,Salmon, Whole grain bread, Cheese, Full fat yoghurt, nut butters etc

5. Get Enough Sleep:
