The key to develop muscle mass is to increase the consumption of healthy calories and proteins. It is by slowly increasing the quantity of their meals and with regular physical exercise that an individual gains weight. Vegetarian Indian recipes that include low fat dairy products like milk and cheese, almonds, walnuts, dried beans, soybeans and chickpeas aid in increasing body mass. Chapatis made of multi grain flour, with a starchy vegetable dish like potato, carrots, green peas, sweet potatoes, beetroot, etc. increase the calories while providing the right amount of nutrition to the body. Including more of colorful and leafy vegetables in your diet balances the nutrition and calorie level.

Many stereotype that Indian food recipes cater only to vegetarians. However this is not true. India has a rich cuisine that offers delicacies for meat lovers too. Adding a small serving of lean ground beef, steaks, chicken breast, pork, ham and lamb on a daily basis helps in steady weight gain. Any sea food that includes salmon, tuna, shrimps and cod should also be included in diet as they are highly nutritious and help build lean muscle. As per the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010, 10 -35% of an adult’s daily calorie intake should be sourced from proteins. That is about 45-157.5 grams of protein per day. As whole eggs are rich in proteins and vitamins, you can also include them in your diet. However be mindful of what you eat, as eggs are high in cholesterol too.
