Concerned About Weight Gain? Get Expert Diet Advice Today!

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query:

The number of calories you should consume depends on several factors, including your weight, height, age, activity level, and any medical conditions you may have. Generally, to maintain your current weight, the average adult woman needs around 2,000 calories per day, and the average adult man requires about 2,500 calories. However, this can vary significantly based on individual health factors.

When it comes to foods that cause weight gain, those high in sugars, refined carbohydrates, and unhealthy fats, like fast food, sugary drinks, and processed snacks, tend to contribute the most. Fatty meals, such as fried foods, and excessive calorie intake without balancing it with physical activity are also major contributors to weight gain. In addition, portion sizes and frequency of meals play a key role.

It’s important to focus on a balanced diet rich in whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Monitoring your calorie intake and maintaining a balanced, nutritious diet can help you avoid unhealthy weight gain. For a more personalized dietary plan and accurate calorie recommendations based on your specific needs, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional.

Thanks!
