What do you want?: The last thing you want to do is garbage up eating greasy, sugary stuff. Your best move is to hit the gym circuit, both resistance and aerobic training. "underweight" is by itself not a problem -- the athletes in the photo are probably "underweight" -- except as a marker for illness or poor muscular development. Your physician is your best guide here. Best wishes.
