Why, then how: I encourage you to work with your wife's doctor, nutritionist in that office, and a personal trainer rather than any off-the-shelf plan. Share with her doc and team the "why" about wanting to gain weight and where (on the body). Lean weights are often healthiest.Body weight is just a number, affected by many factors (e.g., bone, muscle, water, fat, etc.). Sharing 'why' will lead to a healthy plan.

Foods to help w weight gain: almonds, cashews, pecans, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, walnuts, hummus, avocados, granola, trail mix, dried fruits, protein shakes & bars, lean meats, poultry

See below: Agree with Dr. H. Being skinny in an other healthy person is not a cause for concern. She is likely to gain weight with increasing age and then she will look back fondly at this time when she could ear and not gain weight.
