For weight gain
Reasons for being underweight need to be understood and very often for weight gain, the underweight person needs to be counseled individually to address specific condition. If there are any health problems present, they need to be dealt with first. For. e.g. If you are a skinny person with TB, then your medical condition (TB) needs to be dealt with first before addressing your weight issues. Very often psychological counseling and behavior modification are very helpful.
In general, if you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight. Choose calorie dense foods such as nuts and dry fruits. Underweight people cannot eat large quantities of food, so eat small frequent intervals, say 6 meals instead of 3 large meals.
