Yes you can: Weight comes from the calories or the energy amount you take in which depends on the quality of food and its quantity that you consume. So all you have to do is select energy rich foods like milk products(milk, yogurt, ice cream, milk shakes and you will gain weight.If youdont likethis option go for extrameatsfish nuts and eggs. Itis good to also exercise.
