Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query my dear patient,

Try to increase uptake of poly and mono unsaturated fatty acid in your food.
Take 2 table spoon full of peanut butter every day.It causes fast gaining.
Increase amount of lean protein in your diet.
You could also take protein supplementation 30 gram per day(available in form of powder).
Increase intake of chick peas,Red kidney beans,Take 2 egg yolks a day,Take chicken legs along with breast alternate day.
If you can’t digest a heavy diet then a mass gainer or meal replacement shake can be taken.That would cause you to gain weight fast.
