Hi there,
You should try to gain weight in a healthy and scientific way. You can increase your caloric intake by eating a larger volume of food or by choosing foods which are energy-dense .At the same time take care to choose nutrient-dense instead of high-calorie junk foods. Foods that are both energy- and nutrient-dense are legumes, nuts, seeds, olives, and avocados. Increase your protein intake and have a balanced meal with the right amounts of protein, carbohydrates and fat. Resistance training exercises like weight lifting can help to increase your muscle size and body weight. You need to give yourself daily at least 30 minutes for adequate weight gain. I sincerely hope it helps.
Best luck and regards!
