Dear Harshada,

Glad to hear from you! For a healthy vegetarian diet to gain weight, focus on nutrient-rich foods that are also calorie-dense. Here are some tips:

  1. Include Protein: Opt for sources like legumes (beans, lentils), tofu, tempeh, and dairy (if you consume it), like paneer and Greek yoghurt.
  2. Healthy Fats: For extra calories and essential fats, add avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil to your meals.
  3. Complex Carbohydrates: Whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, oats, and whole wheat products provide energy and fibre.
  4. Fruits and Vegetables: Incorporate a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Dried fruits like dates and figs are calorie-dense snacks.
  5. Small, Frequent Meals: Instead of three large meals, have five to six smaller meals/snacks throughout the day to increase calorie intake.
  6. Hydration: Drink plenty of water and include hydrating foods like soups, smoothies, and juices.

Remember, consistency and balanced nutrition are key. It's also beneficial to consult with a nutritionist for personalised guidance.

Best wishes on your journey to a healthy weight!
