Healthy Indian Diet Plan for Weight Gain (3000 Calories)



Most people think losing weight is hard but increasing weight is pretty easy. Well, it is partly true! Putting on weight is easy, but gaining weight without affecting your health is a bit tough.
You can easily increase your weight by eating unlimited fast foods but that comes with a price – your health. Yes, since these foods are high in fat and carbohydrates with little to no nutritional value, you’ll notice a lot of adverse effects in your body, which include:


  1. Digestive issues due to lack of fiber
  2. High blood sugar due to sudden spikes of insulin
  3. As these foods are exposed to high levels of chemicals, they may have an impact on your fertility too
  4. Heart related issues due to LDL or bad cholesterol
  5. High blood pressure due to overuse of sodium in foods
  6. So, instead of munching on these fast foods to gain weight, you can follow this healthy high calorie protein rich diet chart to increase your weight.



 

How this 3000 calorie Indian Diet Plan works?

The weight of a person depends on a simple mathematical calculation. Below is an example for better understanding.


Weight Loss: If you burn more calories than you consume, then you’ll likely lose weight naturally
Weight Gain: If the amount of calories you eat is more than the amount of calories you burn, then you’ll easily gain weight.
Weight Maintenance: If the calorie consumption equals calorie burn, then you’ll neither gain nor lose your weight i.e, you’ll be in the maintenance mode.
