Is yogurt good for weight gain?

I'm a bit underweight and trying to put on some healthy weight. I've heard that yogurt can be good for weight gain. Is this a good food to include in my diet for that?

I'm also looking into this, trying to gain a bit of healthy weight. From what I've researched, full-fat yogurt, especially with added fruits, nuts, or granola, can be quite calorie-dense and protein-rich, making it good for gaining weight. But plain low-fat yogurt might not do the trick on its own.

Ho na, full-fat dahi can definitely help for weight gain. Especially if you mix it with some fruits like banana, dry fruits, or even a spoonful of jaggery. It becomes a good source of healthy calories and protein. Just normal plain dahi might not be enough on its own, so add things.

I have thyroid issues, and sometimes weight management becomes tricky. For weight gain, full-fat yogurt combined with other calorie-dense, nutritious foods can be helpful. But it's always good to consult a dietitian or your doctor, especially if you have underlying health conditions. They can create a balanced plan to ensure healthy weight gain.

For weight gain, absolutely, full-fat yogurt is a smart choice. It packs more calories and healthy fats than its low-fat counterparts. You can easily boost its calorie content by adding nuts, seeds, or some fruit. Effective way to increase calorie intake and protein.

Haan, if you want to gain weight, full-fat yogurt is a good option, na. It has more calories. You can add honey, nuts, or some fruit to it to make it even more calorie-dense and tasty. Don't go for the low-fat ones if your goal is to gain.

Beta, earlier days, we always used full-fat dahi for strength. If you want to gain weight healthily, yes, full-fat yogurt is a good option. It's got good fats and protein. Just make sure you're eating it as part of a balanced diet, not just dahi all day. It builds strength, not just fat, if combined with good food.
