Got it
— you want to gain healthy weight (become chubby or fuller) in a safe, balanced way.Let’s build a plan that increases body fat and muscle gently — without harming your metabolism or health.
1. Core Principle: Calorie SurplusTo gain weight, you must eat more calories than you burn every day — ideally +300–500 kcal above maintenance.
The goal: slow, steady gain of 0.25–0.5 kg (0.5–1 lb) per week.
You can use a calorie calculator (or I can help estimate it for you if you share your age, weight, height, and activity level).
2. Food Strategy — Balanced “Chubby” Diet
Healthy Fats (Energy-Dense)Add a little to each meal:
Avocado

Peanut butter, almond butter
Nuts (cashews, almonds, walnuts)
Seeds (chia, sunflower, flax)
Olive oil, ghee, or coconut oil (1–2 tbsp added to meals)
Carbohydrates (Bulk + Calories)You need carbs for both energy and stored glycogen (which makes you look fuller):
Rice, oats, quinoa, pasta, potatoes, yams
Whole-grain bread or rotis
Smoothies with banana, oats, honey, milk
Protein (Builds Shape, Prevents Flab)Important even if you want a “soft” look:
Eggs, chicken, fish, paneer, tofu, lentils
Milk, Greek yogurt, cheese
Protein smoothies if you find it hard to eat enough
Snacks & Add-onsAdd 2–3 small calorie-rich snacks per day:
Handful of nuts + milk
Banana + peanut butter toast
Yogurt with honey
Smoothies or milkshakes (banana + oats + milk + nut butter)
3. Sample Daily Meal PlanTime Meal Example
7:30 am Breakfast 2 boiled eggs, 2 toasts with butter, banana, milk
10:30 am Snack Handful of nuts + 1 fruit
1:30 pm Lunch Rice, dal/lentils, 1–2 chapatis, paneer/chicken, vegetables, salad
4:30 pm Smoothie Milk + oats + peanut butter + honey
7:30 pm Dinner Similar to lunch (add ghee or olive oil)
9:30 pm Bedtime snack Yogurt with honey, or glass of warm milk
4. Lifestyle TipsSleep: 7–9 hours — growth hormones work best then.
Light exercise: Strength training or yoga 3×/week — helps gain healthy fat + tone instead of just belly fat.
Hydration: 2–3 L/day.
Avoid: skipping meals, relying on junk food (causes bloating, not healthy “chubbiness”).
5. Signs You’re Progressing
Clothes feel snugger
Face looks rounder
Energy and mood improve
You gain ~0.5 kg per weekIf you’re not gaining after 2 weeks, increase daily calories by another 200–300.

Perfect — thanks for the details

So, you’re 38 years old, 5'4" (163 cm), male, and you eat everything (no dietary restrictions).
You want to gain healthy weight and look chubby — not just muscular or lean.
Let’s design a 7-day high-calorie “chubby gain” meal plan, focused on wholesome, tasty, calorie-dense foods that help you add body fat and fullness safely.
Your TargetCurrent estimated maintenance: ~2,000 kcal/day (average for your height & age).
Goal intake: ~2,600–2,800 kcal/day for gradual gain.
This will help you gain about 0.4–0.5 kg (1 lb) per week.

General Tips
Eat every 3–4 hours — never skip meals.
Add 1–2 tbsp oil, butter, or ghee to meals for extra calories.
Drink milkshakes or smoothies daily — they add calories without feeling too full.
Track progress: weigh yourself once a week.
Once you reach your desired chubbiness, reduce intake slightly to maintain.Would you like me to make this into a printable meal chart (PDF) with checkboxes, portion sizes, and calorie counts for each meal?
