3,500 kcal = 1 pound: 1st, calculate your body mass index (http://nhlbisupport.Com/bmi/) which is 19.5kg/m2 so you're normal weight for height. Next, consume 3, 500 kcal more than you expend in order to gain a pound. If you eat an extra 500 kcal each day, you'll gain a pound each week. Just be sure to eat healthy, not junk food. Consider mediterranean diet w/lots of healthy protein eg fish, chicken & beans. And exercise.
