Choose food that is dense in calories and gradually increase your intake. also, you will need to take around one gram/lb of your wright of protein to gain muscle mass.

More calories: You gain weight by taking more calories in than you burn. Count your daily calories and eat 500 calories more each day than your usual calories that you have been taking in. At the end of one week you will gain one pound. Keep going like this until you reach your target weight which can be found in the height - weight charts in the web .
