Whats a healthy way to gain weight for a 13 y.o girl? what foods are high in calories?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weight gain: The appropriate way to gain useful weight and not just fat which is harmful to your arteries, is to exercise and follow a diet of complex carbs (whole grains), lots of lean meat or protein, and low fat.
