is poha good for weight gain - #24342
I am trying to figure out if poha is good for weight gain. Last week, I visited my doctor, and she mentioned that I might need to gain a few extra pounds since I've been feeling a bit weak and underweight. I was looking for some healthy options to add to my diet, and poha came up in a conversation with my friend who's into Ayurvedic stuff and all. I usually eat poha for breakfast, thinking it's light and nutritious, but now I'm confused. Like, is poha good for weight gain or not? I’ve read mixed things online. Some say it’s quick and easy with rice being the base, which should be enough for energy, but others say it’s not really calorie-dense. Sometimes I feel full after it, but honestly, it just feels like a "fill-in" meal, you know? I could really use some advice here! How can I incorporate poha into my meals if it really helps with gaining weight? Or should I look for something heavier? Thoughts?
