Everyone is obsessed with losing weight and getting a slim figure. Wherever you go, you will find slimming pills and herbal teas that guarantee weight loss. Some companies have even gone so far as to invent devices like calorie-reading spoons and electric waist belts that reduce belly fat. While most of us are obsessed with weight and reading weight loss diet tips, there are some who are really trying to add some fat to their body. An athletic figure can surely appear attractive to many. But those who are skinny feel discouraged sometimes when they can’t find clothes or accessories that fit them well.

Since there are very few resources available on weight gain, I personally thought it would be appropriate to write an article on gaining weight through Indian foods. You may ask why Indian foods in particular. Well, Indian cuisine offers a variety of recipes that are rich in nutrition and high in healthy fats. In addition, they are easy to modify according to individual requirements. So here it is. A complete guide to healthy foods from India that help you gain weight naturally.

The key to building muscle mass is to increase your intake of calories and healthy protein. It is by slowly increasing the amount of your meals and with regular physical exercise that an individual gains weight. Vegetarian Indian recipes that include low-fat dairy products like milk and cheese, almonds, walnuts, dried beans, soybeans, and chickpeas help increase body mass. Chapatis made from multigrain flour, with a side dish of starchy vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, beets, etc. increase calories while providing the correct amount of nutrition to the body. Including more colorful leafy vegetables in your diet balances nutrition and calorie level.

Many stereotype that Indian food recipes only cater to vegetarians. However, that’s not true. India has a rich cuisine that offers delicacies for meat lovers as well. Adding a small serving of lean ground beef, steak, chicken breast, pork, ham, and lamb daily helps you gain weight steadily. Any seafood including salmon, tuna, shrimp and cod should also be included in the diet as they are highly nutritious and help build lean muscle. According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 10-35% of an adult’s daily caloric intake should come from protein. That’s about 45-157.5 grams of protein per day. Since whole eggs are rich in protein and vitamins, you can also include them in your diet. However, be careful what you eat, as eggs are also high in cholesterol.
