Suggestions To Gain Weight?

I'm a 23 year old person weighing 56 kg, height 175 cm. I also play football on weekends in the morning only and my role includes quite running, some people told me that it is the reason of my low weight. I thought of joining gym but couldn't because of my job timings. My current daily diet is like this...
Breakfast- 4Chappatis + Vegetables + Tea.
Lunch- 5-6Chappatis + Vegetables.
Dinner- 5-6Chappatis/Rice + Pulses + 1glass of milk.

What would you suggest me to add in my intake to gain weight? Whether I should take protein supplements or not? If yes, which would you like to prescribed?

hello...56 kg is low for a person who is 175cm, your basic 3 meals seem fine to me , but i want you to add in a couple more small meals before lunch and before dinner like a banana or two , maybe some tofu or youghurt even.And i wud suggest you to join a gym intead of playing football , because football is a lot of cardio and im not saying cardio is bad, but too much of it well then you lose muscle as well , try hitting the gym 3 times a week , and follow the diet everyday for atleast 21 days you should see some results
