   It's ok as long as you know what weight you want to be in. Since you want to gain weight, I'd do less cardio and more weight type exercises. I'd even do just isometrics only personally, but you could also combine that with some slow exercises that are hypertrophy, and eat at surplus calories until I reach the weight I want to be in, especially since you are walking up and down a mountain to reach your gym that's all the cardio you need.

    Also nap and sleep a lot and sleep good, and exercise less frequently to preserve some calories in you so you gain weight slightly faster, be less active if you can.

   What is your nutrition and diet like? Foods you eat? Are you ok with dairy? I'd suggest some warm milk, a bit of sugar and honey, which really helps with the weight gain, but you'll have to try and see how it effects you.

   Also, very nice and cute profile.

Giving you encouragement and support my fellow brother. 

I have lost a lot of weight. But I need to gain some weight now haha  because I feel very weak. 

But I don't want to eat protein since I have a family history of kidney disease, my dad died from that. 

That's why I eat carbs to gain weight. But it's not enough. 

I hope you have a wonderful journey on your self actualization path

@Preety_India protein doesn't automatically give you chronic kidney disease. It's more complicated than that and it has never really been proven at moderate amounts that protein does cause CKD. Salt consumption is more relevant I'd say   Ofcourse don't go eating 200grams per day but without it you'll find it difficult to gain enough motivation to do much in the day. We have physiological need for at least moderate amounts of it. If you're worried about animal means, get it from legumes, Indian culture has probably the best selection of protein rich legumes and dahl. Legumes will protect you from kidney disease if anything.

Hope that clears stuff up ?

@Michael569 I eat only legumes Hehe.

If you want to gain weight: 

• Skip cardio (at least for some time till you feel like you are gaining at your desired rate)
• Don't skip meals
• Make eating a habit (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
• Make sure you always have food around
• Count your calories to check if you are really eating enough, most people deceive themselves (the app myfitnesspal works great for that)
• Focus on weight lifting (machines are also fine, especially in the beginning)
• Eat more nuts, a handful in the evening can make the difference between gaining and losing weight

I would also not worry about the time frame of 6 days.

My weight fluctuates at around 3-4 KG from day to day, Weigh yourself maybe every 2-3 weeks don't get too obsessive over the numbers.

Oh I get it....foamy urine is usually a sign of proteinuria which don't settle fast(foam) not always though....as u mentioned about ur family history...I would recommend getting your urine checked for protein level... Check ur dm

Does it mean a problem with the kidneys?
