2.Can you eat one meal a day if you are trying to gain weight?

3.i go to the toilet to take a shit very often these days. What could be the reason?

@Someone here 1. Bluefin tuna is bad because of high levels of PCB’s. Replace it with Pacific albacore tuna. Also, make sure the can doesn’t contain oil, as this sucks out omega 3 from the tuna. It does indeed contain Mercury, so you must decide whether you want it or not. 

2. You must eat at least four times per day. You must get your nutrients otherwise there will be health consequences. 

3. It is healthy.

You can but you will have to stuff yourself like a Thanksgiving turkey with each meal.  Why not just do 3 regular meals. Fasting induces a catabolic state. Gaining induces anabolic state. It is like building up a house and then breaking it down each evening.

There are better and worse ones. Eating half a can tuna once a week is fine. Eating tuna every day is probably stretching it too far. If you want to remain with fish, switch to mackerel or cod.

It is normal, even desirable to poo at least 3 times a day, your risk of colorectal cancer goes down if you poo at least twice a day. If you eat high fibre diet, that is completely normal and healthy as long as the poo is not a chocolate pudding but has a solid consistency. Unless it is more like diarrhoea or explosive. In such case you may wanna investigate it further.

I'm no health expert. 

1. No problem with fish in India. Less toxins and heavy metals here compared to America. American water is full of chemicals. 

2. If you are trying to gain weight the fastest way is to eat chicken if eating chicken is not a problem for you. 

There is no healthy way to gain weight.

Anything healthy gets processed easily and actually causes weight loss. 

So you have to eat fatty and sugary. Eat more meat and stuff your body with carbohydrates. 

3. There is a problem with that. Are you consuming acidic, gas inducing or too much veggies. Do you drink too much milk or eat too much fruit. Are you drinking too much tea or coffee. If you are eating too much liquid or too many fruits or vegetables, it can cause mild diarrhea like symptoms. Also if you eat few meals, the body produces acid that is left unused and is the cause behind loose motions or diarrhea. 

Cut that out of your diet. 

Eat meals three times a day - morning breakfast, then lunch and dinner at night. 

Eat normal meals that everyone eats unless your doctor has suggested something.

Most health books I read gave the exact opposite advice. They strictly said to never get food imported from Asia, as they have very poor hygiene regulations.

Experience is the best teacher, not books.
