is masala oats good for weight gain - #44005
I am really curious about something. Over the last few months, I’ve been trying to gain some weight since I’ve always been on the skinny side. My friend mentioned that is masala oats good for weight gain, and honestly, I haven’t had a chance to ask anyone who knows more about nutrition. I’ve been eating them almost every morning, but I don’t really know if they help or not! I added some extra nuts and even some ghee to them, thinking that maybe those added calories would help. But here’s the thing— I've also heard that oats can be more filling and that maybe they aren’t as effective for weight gain as I thought? I mean, the masala adds flavor, but are psyllium husk or fiber content of oats actually working against me? I weighed myself, and I think I’ve gained like a pound in the last 3 weeks or so, which doesn’t seem like a lot for all the effort. I just keep doubting, should I go for more calorie-dense foods instead? Would that be better? Is masala oats good for weight gain, or should I be looking for something more? I really appreciate any input on this!

Masala oats can be a part of weight gain diet, but they might not be the most effective standalone option if quick weight gain is the goal. Oats, including masala oats, are nutrient-dense and provide sustained energy due to their rich carbohydrate content, which is beneficial in fuelling a higher metabolism, often seen with individuals who identify as underweight. However, they also have high fiber content, which can create a feeling of fullness and reduce overall food intake throughout the day.
To enhance the impact of oats on weight gain, you’ve taken the right step by adding nuts and ghee. Nuts, like almonds and walnuts, offer healthy fats and proteins, adding calorie density to your meal. Ghee, an essential Ayurvedic fat, supports digestive agni (fire), enabling better assimilation of nutrients, while also adding healthy fats to contribute to overall caloric intake. You could also consider adding things like jaggery for sweetness and a calorie boost, or dried fruits like raisins, which compliment weight gain efforts by adding both calories and vital nutrients.
Yet, if the rate of weight gain remains slow, consider supplementing your morning meal with alternative or additional snacks rich in healthy fats and proteins. Options like full-fat dairy, seeds like flax or chia for extra omega-3 fatty acids, or even a homemade smoothie loaded with banana, nut butter, and even yogurt can provide more calorie density.
Remember, your body constitution or prakriti plays a significant role. Those with a Vata type might naturally have lower body weight and a higher metabolism, requiring consistently higher calorie intake and grounding activities like yoga. Maintaining balance is crucial, don’t replace healthy eating habits with just any high-calorie foods.
If variability in diet seems to offer little change, regular check-ins with an experienced Ayurvedic physician or nutritionist might be the best way to effectively tailor your dietary strategy for your personal health and wellness objectives.
