Need more info: Need to know what your aim is. If you are underweight and need to normalise your weight then may need to exclude medical reasons why that is happening to sort that out i.e. a doctor consult - plus may need a dietician's input. If you are talking about muscle bulk then may need to consult someone qualified in sports medicine or personal training. Suggest a consult to look at this in more detail
