HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Weight gain can be achieved by increasing calorie intake (increasing the calories from food and drink) and decreasing calorie output (energy loss with activity).
To increase your calorie intake you would need to: (1) increase the frequency of meals by using high calorie snacks between meals
(2)increase the portion sizes of meals
(3)also increase the calorie value of meals by adding dressings/butter etc
I hope this helps
