parsley, turnip, radish, and beet tops. These vegetables should, preferably, be
taken in salad form or should be lightly cooked.
Underweight diet
Underweight diet
Diet plays an important role in building up health for gaining weight. Underweight
persons should eat frequent small meals as they tend to feel full quickly. The
weight-building quality of a food is measured by the number of calories it
contains. To gain weight the diet should include more calories than are used in
daily activities so as to allow the excess to be stored as body fat. The allowance
of 500 calories in excess of the daily average needs is estimated to provide for a
weight gain of half a kilogram weekly
Food to avoid when you are underweight
All refined foods such as products containing white flour and sugar should be
avoided, as they destroy health.
