Mango and weight gain
Mango when eaten correctly, especially the timmings can benefit you in many ways. Do not eat mango with your main meals like lunch n dinner.For example, if you incorporate mangoes as part of the calories you need each day like as fillers in between, you will not gain weight. But if you eat all your meals and additionally stuff mangoes, then you will definately gain weight
