Weight Gain: Look to build lean muscle mass - increase protein and good fats and carbohydrates. Find an app that can calculate the calories you need to intake in order to gain a particular amount of weight. Myfitnesspal and loseit are apps for weight loss, the former may have a way to calculate the reverse.
