It may be easier to eat six or more smaller, balanced meals rather than eating three large meals, especially if you’re not used to eating much at one time.
Protein powders & nutritional supplements such as Ensure can be added for in-between meal snacks. You can also make your own delicious protein shakes at home with a blender using milk, yogurt, frozen fruit, etc. Look for some easy recipes here: http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/weig…
Exchange the skim milk & fat-free yogurt for regular since you don’t want to lose weight. Most protein powders are not very tasty unless mixed with other ingredients.
Exercise is an important part of healthy weight gain. Strength training is especially important & will build muscles. This can be done at home or in a gym. Cardio exercises are healthy & should be a part of your routine, but they burn maximum calories & may cause you to lose weight if you don’t eat consume plenty of calories. Limit your cardio workout to 30 minutes. Consider activities such as: power walking, jogging, biking, swimming laps, jumping rope, dancing, skating, etc. Yoga & Pilates are excellent additions to your workout as well. Here are some exercises you can do at home to help target certain areas:http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/targ…
Some suggestions to help you gain weight:
1) Add healthy calories to your menu. Start breakfast with a slice of whole-wheat toast & peanut butter.
2) Trail mixes, nuts, dried fruits, & protein bars are healthy high-caloric snacks.
3) Drink healthy beverages such as milk & fruit juice. Avoid sweet drinks that add no nutritional value.
4) Choose the healthy option every time. Avoid fried foods. Eat larger portions of healthier foods such as baked potatoes, chicken, fish, etc.
5) Follow the food pyramid guidelines & make sure that you include all the major food groups in your diet.
6) Consume heart-healthy oils by eating olive, walnut, or canola oil in your homemade salad dressings. Add cheese & nuts to salads for additional healthy calories.
Good luck!

Eat meat, plenty of it too, eat chicken, steak, mince & everything like that. You need to eat meals with plenty of protein to build up muscle & meats are the best thing for it.
Within a month you’ll notice a difference. Trust me, my ex was the same, skinny & couldn’t build muscle, when he ate meats a few weeks later he was noticing the difference.
