Recently a Lot of readers were asking me questions on how can they gain weight with vegetarian foods and which vegetarian foods will help them in gaining muscles. We have an article for you . Please read – Top-15-Indian-vegetarian-foods-for-bodybuilding
How is this Indian diet plan for weight gain made?
Weight gain requires a person to take in more calories with good quality proteins and other nutritious food. However, it is hard to provide good quality proteins to vegetarians because of the limited sources available. But in the above given chart I have tried to incorporate as many good sources as possible. Addition of skimmed milk powder to your milk and vegetable gravies and also to your dough while kneading are good ways to convert the “not so nutritious food ” into ” nutritious “.
Note – this is a generalized Indian diet plan for weight gain. This Indian diet plan for weight gain may or may not be suitable to you as an individual. Although there is no harm in following this Indian diet plan for weight gain, results will be based on suitability, and your personal body requirements. Don’t forget to read more information on weight gain “How to gain weight “. And do check our healthy recipes to gain good weight and not just fat weight
