General & Family Physician,  's  Response
thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com....

you have mentioned that you are 27 year old, weigh 60 kilogram and your height is 5feet 7 inches...

taking these parameters in mind, if i calculate your BMI (body mass index), it comes as 20.7 which is considered to be normal as the normal BMI is between 18.5 to 24.99.....
so that you feel underweight is not justified and you need not worry....it is completely fine....

however if you want to be healthier, you can gain upto 5 more kilograms and that will be a perfect BMI...
for that all you need to do is eat regularly and eat healthy....nurtitional supplements are not necessary...

you can consult a dietitian for a diet chart and you can easily follow it....

hope this was helpful....
regards
