work out, try to eat foods that slow down your metabolism.

eat more protein, carbs and healthy fats

meat, peanuts, 2%-4% dairy products, avocados, legumes, olive oils, whole grain bread/pastas/rice, and lots of fruits and vegetables.. Stay away from junk food as much as you can... even though it's high calories, you really shouldn't eat it.. No one should..

Try drinking juices or milk along with your meals instead of water (but drink a good amount of water to keep your skin clear, 8 glasses a day)

get exercise at least 3 days a week.I'm sure you don't want to gain pure fat do you? focus more on strength training or pilates/yoga.. but don't neglect cardio. 20-30 minutes should be good.

And if you want there are always nutritional drinks or protein powder. Some nutritional drinks may be super expensive like Ensures and Boost.. But you can give them a try if you can! I drink Carnation Instant Breakfast.. Look them up! :]

This sounds untrue, unless you are short. If you are not short, oyu must get beat up a lot. Im 15, but if you want to gain weight, try muscle milk in moderation.

Carbs and LOTS of them.

Like, some people might answer like, eat junk food!

WELL, that's not healthy.

Lots and lots of carbs.

Have protein and carbs with every meal. Before bed have a carb desert.
