Can you recommend a diet plan to gain weight?
My father is 58years old and healthy as far as I know, no diabetes, heart disease, etc. Around 8 years ago, he was operated for his cataract, but he is totally fine now (though he can’t carry heavy objects anymore).He also has no vices, just drinks like once to twice a month. He is also physically active, not really heavy but at least sweats from it. He wants to gain weight by following a diet plan, with meals for breakfats, etc. ope you can help. A link or personal opinion will be very helpful. Thank you!

Sample 1
breakfast while on the weight gain diet includes granola, chopped nuts, a banana, milk and juice.
A lunch would involve 1/2 an avocado, a can of tuna in oil, two sliced tomatoes, a handful of olives, mixed salad leaves, 2 teaspoons of olive oil and a tbsp of sesame seeds, and whole grain crackers. You are also allowed snacks spaced mid-way between meals, and must eat a sensible dinner.
Tips
The key to formulating any meal for weight gain is to concentrate on a sensible blend of complex carbohydrates , lean protein , and healthy fats . When attempting to gain weight, it is often beneficial to eat multiple small meals per day, rather than a few large meals. Especially when coupled with exercise, eating multiple small meals encourages your body to use the calories to build lean tissue (muscle).
Sample 2
Breakfast: Banana and milk or banana shake or smoothie, whole-grain toast, fruits, granola, nuts. Eat more fruit and drink less juice.
Do not give milk mixed with ghee to your child. It is not healthy.
Lunch: Roti/chapatti/wholegrain bread, rice, green vegetables, paneer (cottage cheese), dal, chickpeas (chole), black-eyed beans (lobia), rajma, whole wheat pudding (dalia), etc Dinner: Similar to lunch
In-between meals:: fruit, sandwich, yogurt (curd), milk, cheese, salad
Say No To
Avoid deep fried snacks like samosa, pakodas, bhujia etc.
Avoid fast foods including donut.
go on a seefood diet.
If he is 58 and healthy and active, are you sure he needs to gain weight? When you get older, especially in your 50s, you lose a lot of weight because your testosterone plummets and you lose muscle mass. That’s bad. However, the weight he will gain from eating more through diet, will be fat, UNLESS he starts working out heavy strength and resistance training to regain his testosterone. If he can’t carry heavy objects etc. anymore, then I would not recommend he gain weight, or exercise that heavily.
Alternatively, he can get testosterone prescribed from his doctor – but without some form of muscular training, the effect will be much less, and the muscle mass gained will largely be limited to legs and support structures.
