HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Gaining weight requires the opposite of methods used for weight loss. Instead of decreasing your calorie intake, you should increase it.

This means increasing the energy value of the foods and drinks that you use. This energy would then be converted into body mass.

This involves the following: (1) increasing portion sizes of meals
(2)eating more frequently- snack between main meals
(3)increasing the calorie value of meals by adding dressings/oils/butter etc to meals

In addition, you need to decrease the energy that you put out. This would cause weight loss or prevent weight gain. This means decreasing aerobic exercise. You can consider strength training to build muscle mass.

I hope this helps
