Hi,
The easiest way to gain weight is to add calories to your diet. For every kg of weight gain you will have to add about 1500-2000 calories to your diet. Your diet must include at least three basic meals, and two snack meals, which should include high calorie diet, shakes, ice cream, butter, oil, cheese, dense potato, spreads and bread.
If you are not gaining weight in spite of increased diet, then you should have a medical check up done to investigate the root cause, as there are many causes of weight loss (hyperthyroidisam,cancer,tuberculosis,liver disorder,anorexia nervosa) . So as per the reports and your examination treatment will be given.
You can try protein shakes available at any gym, and the above diet with a good work out plan,(as exercise will make you gain muscle mass) will help you gain weight .
Do you think you feel depressed or stressed ?
Are you having problem with your stools ?
Is your underweight genetic?
Are you anaemic ?
Are you allergic ?
If there is anything significant please let me know.
You can have an antidepressant,haematinic syrup,multivitamin,protein supplement,even antiallergens might help you to gain weight.
Feel free to ask more questions.
