Brief Answer:
You should take high fat foods

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ASk A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

To gain weight one needs to add high calorie foods to their routine diet. High calorie foods include butter, ghee, cheese, cream, pastry, cakes etc.
You can tell me your weight, height, age and I will be better able to guide you.

Alternately you may log into "Active Health App"
using this link: http://onelink.to/activhealth-hcm
and raise a diet request by filling the diet request form. Our dietitians on the panel will answer the same in detail.

You may contact our customer care Team at 080-0000, in case if you need any assistance.

Brief Answer:
Your Body mass Index is 18.3 kg/m2

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Your body mass index is 18.3 kg/m2 and it suggests that you are mildly thin. An ideal body weight for your height would be 54 to 72 kg. So it is only a small deviation from normal range and can easily be recovered by adjusting the diet. I would suggest that you add products made of milk to every meal that you take. For example if you are eating poha or dosa, add atleast 1 bog spoon of ghee to it. Make foods of milk like XXXXXXX kheer, milk shakes and have atleast 3-4 servings of it per day. You can also add some malai or cream to your milk shakes. Drink cleaner water and have atleast 5 servings of fruit per day. Keep a regular track of your weight and resume your regular diet when your desired weight is achieved.
If you need detailed diet plan as per your own diet you can raise diet request for our dietician as mentioned above.
