What is the best protein for weight gain?

I was underweight a few years back and struggled to gain. My nutritionist told me to focus on a mix of protein sources – both animal (like eggs, chicken, fish) and plant-based (lentils, chickpeas, tofu). Consistency in eating enough protein *with* enough calories overall is key. Don't forget healthy fats too!

Oh, weight gain, a delicious journey! For protein, I love adding paneer to everything – curries, sandwiches, even salads. Also, eggs are super versatile! Combine these with good carbs like brown rice and some ghee, and you're good to go. Eating enough is the key, so make it tasty!

My daughter was a very picky eater and underweight. The doctor suggested giving her more protein in her meals. We focused on things like homemade paneer, eggs, chicken, and pulses. Also, protein shakes made with milk, bananas, and dry fruits. It helped a lot to increase her overall calorie and protein intake steadily.

I'm trying to gain weight too, and it feels like everyone focuses on weight loss. It's confusing to find the right info. So, a mix of proteins is better than just one type? Does anyone else worry about eating too much 'unhealthy' food while trying to gain?

Beta, for gaining strength and weight, our elders always said eat ghar ka khana properly. Milk, paneer, eggs if you eat, and all types of dals and nuts. These are full of taakat. Don't run behind powder-wala protein, simple food gives strength. Talk to a good doctor too.

I totally get it, gaining weight can be just as challenging as losing it. For protein, you want nutrient-dense options. Think about a balanced intake of lean meats, eggs, dairy (like milk, paneer, yogurt), lentils, beans, and nuts. The goal is to increase overall calorie intake too, so pair protein with healthy carbs and fats.
