Dear Mahiii Patelll, Thank you for the question
Gaining muscle mass requires specific exercise regimen followed by appropriate dietary changes, especially in terms of good quality proteins balanced with appropriate calories, which should be done under professional guidance.
But here are few guidelines that can be considered for overall goodness:
- Having a Healthy Diversified Balanced Diet that includes all the food groups in the right quantity which thereby provides you with all the essential macro and micro nutrients that your body requires daily for proper functioning. Include energy dense foods, keeping in mind the daily needs.
- Try to incorporate the My plate Concept by dividing your plate into 4 quadrants, fill half of your plate with fruits and vegetables, the other two quadrants with cereals and protein. A small quantity of dairy intake is recommendable.
- Three major meals a day with healthy nutritious snacks in between is preferred.
- Include healthy fats from nuts and seeds.
- 0.8-1g protein per kg body weight is recommended. Some of the high protein sources (plant and/or animal sources) include lentils, milk, paneer, lean meat, egg etc.
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day to maintain hydration
- Indulge in minimum 30-45 minutes of physical activity for at least 5 days a week.
- Try to follow a good sleep regimen in terms of both quantity and quality.
For a customised and personalised meal plan for specific conditions, please contact your Health care professional.
Hope we have answered your query.
Wishing you a great day ahead
