I understand your concern. However, it is not necessary to gain weight in order to be healthy. Diet management is proven to be beneficial for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Eating calorie dense foods thinking that it would lead to weight gain is not correct. You must:- a) Set your metabolism levels right by following a strict dietary regime and setting your body clock right b) Include foods that are nutrient as well as calorie dense

Next Steps

Include things like almond and banana shake in your diet, add dates to it. Add roasted sesame seeds to your vegetables. For more action points, you can contact me on direct consult or visit me to get a customised diet plan suiting your needs. However, keep in mind that unless she is willing to work towards it, nobody can help her. Get her to talk to a qualified nutritionist to understand the importance of appropriate diet management to maintain weight and nutritional status.
