How Can I Gain Weight, And Does Drinking Protein Help Gaining Weight?
Hi, I am healthy but it is hard for me to gain my weight for even 1kg. I am fairly tall for an Asian (175 cm) and this make me look very skinny because my weight just below 55kg. It s say genetics, but some people put on muscle and fat easier than others. I like to eat many kind of foods, hundreds of calories but I love more vegetables and fruits. I want to try drinking protein but is it really work? Best, Finn

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You can try using the protein shakes , it may help to add muscle mass. Strength training may also help with this.
To gain additional weight, you would need to increase your calorie intake so that it is greater that the amount of energy that you lose.
You would need to increase your portion sizes, the frequency of your meals and add condiments to your meals to increase the calorie value.
I hope this helps
